Working with embedded documents in Typescript

[steevej (Steeve Juneau)]

@RENOVATIO

resulting in a regenerated embedded document’s _id key.

Mongoose is doing that, not mongo.

When you update with

@RENOVATIO

    "product": {
       "type": "Vegetable" //modify this
    },

You basically say set the field product of the root document to the object {type:Vegetable}.

When you update with

@RENOVATIO

{ "product.type": "Vegetable" }

You basically say set the field type of the sub-object product.

Both type of updates are needed for different use-case.

For

@RENOVATIO

how do you use {"product.type" : "Vegetable"} dynamically in Javascript passed along with other, non-embedded values?
