Mongoose - Automatically add object to array

[EddiesTech]

Hi there folks,
I have this code:

newproject
            .findOneAndUpdate({ projectname: item }, {responsetime: [{timestamp: secondsSinceEpoch, pingtime: res.ping_time}]})
            .then(function() {
              console.log("Should have updated with timestamp and ping time!");
            });

But the problem is that this overwrites responsetime and pingtime in the database. Any way I can make a new object instead of overwriting?
My schema looks like this:

var schema2 = new mongoose.Schema({
  email: "string",
  name: "string",
  projectname: "string",
  dashID: "string",
  pingStatus: "string",
  responsetime: [{timestamp: String, pingtime: String}],
  glitch: "boolean"
})

But I don’t want to have to add a new object to the schema. I want this to be done automatically. (Should be [{timestamp: String, pingtime: String}, {timestamp: String, pingtime: String}] etc.) Any ideas on how to do this? Can you put me in the right direction (e.g. specific parts of docs about this)
Thanks,
Eddie

Was sent this on Reddit:

You’ll want to use the $push operator. Take a look: https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/operator/update/push/#up._S_push

Looks like it’s what I need using this method: node.js - Push items into mongo array via mongoose - Stack Overflow

Next time when you face a problem, think and try to find the answer and ask here only if you’ve tried so much because the last few threads, you’ve solved it yourself. But good job exploring and finding the answer on your own!

Well, in this case I put the question on Reddit as well as here and someone on Reddit answered. I just thought it might be better to show the answer here in case anyone was wondering I agree though sometimes I do fix it myself or it’s a simple spelling error - will work on my proof-reading and Googling skills

It’s not just you, until two months ago I used to ask people my code problems but then in the end I’ll solve it on my own. When I started realising it, I stopped asking people and I try my best to solve it on my own.
