Issues with expression to Delete object from array based on object.subObject.property value

Working with Data

{
    "_id": {
      "$oid": "61d6552f4a40799193fc5904"
    },
    "attributes": [
      {
        "required": true,
        "order": 1,
        "attribute": {
          "key": "title",
          "label": "Title",
          "dataType": "string",
          "description": "just a test",
          "searchable": true,
          "inputControl": {
            "controlType": "foo"
          },
          "searchControl": {}
        }
      }
    ],
    "icon": "none.png",
  
  }

based on the data above I want to delete an element from the attributes array based on the attribute.key property value.

Using MongoDB Playground I can accomplish this with…

db.getCollection('categories')
  .updateOne(
    {_id: ObjectId("61d6552f4a40799193fc5904")}, 
    {$pull: { "attributes": { "attribute.key": "rest" } } }
  );

but within my node typescript app the above violates the UpdateFilter<T> interface that comes with the MongoDB drivers.

my base repository class that wraps the MongoDB driver lib…

import {
  ClientSession, Filter, FindOptions, InsertOneOptions, InsertOneResult, OptionalUnlessRequiredId,
  UpdateFilter, UpdateOptions, UpdateResult
} from 'mongodb';

public async mongoUpdateOne(filter: Filter<T>, update: UpdateFilter<T> | Partial<T>, options?: UpdateOptions): Promise<UpdateResult> {
    return this.model.collection.updateOne(filter, update, options);
  }

 const filter: Filter<CategoryDocument> = { _id: new ObjectId(categoryId) };
    const updateFilter = { $pull: { attributes: { 'attribute.key':'title' } } };
    const updateResult: UpdateResult = await this.categoriesRepository.mongoUpdateOne(filter, updateFilter).catch((error) => Promise.reject(error));

Argument of type ‘{ $pull: { attributes: { ‘attribute.key’: string; }; }; }’ is not assignable to parameter of type ‘UpdateFilter | Partial’.

I can clear this up if I do not use the nested object 'attribute.key' but thats where my unique key is.

Is there another way to write this update expression?

So after reading this document

I changed my code to…

const updateFilter = { $pull: { 'attributes': { 'attribute.key': attributeItemKey } } } as UpdateFilter<CategoryDocument>;

This works as expected.
