Mongoose save image using JWT token ID update field under ID - mongodb

Question

I am trying to save an image filename to an existing user by using a JWT token return of userID. However, it isn't saving the image and I am not exactly sure what I am doing wrong since there is no error output. I am using two schemas one of them is a collection schema and the user schema. The userID is the primary key for the collection schema like this:
const mongoose = require("mongoose");
const Schema = mongoose.Schema;
const collections = require('../models/collections')
// Create User Schema
const UserSchema = new Schema({
username: {
type: String,
required: false,
default: null
},
name: {
type: String,
required: true
},
userbio: {
type: String,
required: false,
default: null
},
email: {
type: String,
required: true
},
password: {
type: String,
required: true
},
profileimg: {
type: String,
required: false,
default: null
},
useralert: {
type: String,
required: false,
default: null
},
socials: {
type: String,
required: false,
default: null
},
collections: {
type: Schema.Types.ObjectId,
ref: 'imgCollections' //export ref module.exports = User = mongoose.model("imgCollections", collections);
},
date: {
type: Date,
default: Date.now
}
});
module.exports = User = mongoose.model("users", UserSchema);
here is the collection schema:
const mongoose = require("mongoose");
const Schema = mongoose.Schema;
const {ObjectId} = mongoose.Schema.Types;
//imgName, tags, description, cName, date(auto)
// Create Schema
const collections = new Schema({
imgName: {
type: String,
required: true
},
image:{
data: Buffer,
contentType: String
},
tags: {
type: String,
required: true
},
description: {
type: String,
required: true,
default: " "
},
flaggedImage:{
type: Boolean,
required: false,
default: false
},
cName: {
type: String,
required: false,
default: null
},
postedBy: {
type: ObjectId,
ref: "users",
required: true
},
date: {
type: Date,
default: Date.now
}
});
module.exports = User = mongoose.model("imgCollections", collections);
and here is how I am saving my image:
const storage = multer.diskStorage({
destination: function (req, file, cb) {
cb(null, "uploads");
},
filename: function (req, file, cb) {
cb(
null,
file.fieldname + "-" + Date.now() + path.extname(file.originalname)
);
},
});
const upload = multer({
storage: storage,
fileFilter: (req, file, cb) => {
if (file.mimetype == "image/png" || file.mimetype == "image/jpg" || file.mimetype == "image/jpeg") {
cb(null, true);
} else {
cb(null, false);
return cb(new Error('Only .png, .jpg and .jpeg format allowed!'));
}
} });
router.post("/collections", requireLogin, upload.single("myImage"), async (req, res) => {
const obj = {
img: {
data: req.file.filename,
contentType: req.file.contentType
}
}
const newCollection = new collections({
imgName: req.file.filename,
image: obj.img
});
const file = req.file
console.log(file)
// apply filter
// resize
/*
//AWS image upload here commented out to prevent duplicate sends
const result = await uploadFile(file)
await unlinkFile(file.path)
console.log(result)
const description = req.body.description
res.send({imagePath: `/images/${result.Key}`})
*/
//mongodb upload
try {
const user = await User.findById(req.user)
user.save(newCollection)
console.log(user)
} catch (error) {
res.status(400).json('updateError: ' + error)
}
any help is appreciated. Also the return for the authentication requireLogin gives back req.user -> id. That works. I am just not sure how to save it under the userID
