inserting in a nested array in mongoose

Question

i have a mongoose model something like

module.exports = mongoose.model('ContactBirthday', {
    email: {
        type: String,
        unique: true
    },
    birthday: {
        "1": {
            "1": [
                {
                    "firstName": String,
                }
            ],
            "2": [
                {
                    "firstName": String,
                }
            ]
         }
     }
   }

i want to push a value in birthday.1.2 . I have the value of 1 and 2 in variables bMonth and bDate , and using the following code to push , but somehow only email is inserted

var bMonth = req.body.contact.birthday.month;
var bDate = req.body.contact.birthday.date;

                                            ContactBirthday.findOneAndUpdate({
                                                email: result.message.email
                                            }, {
                                                $push: {
                                                    birthday: {
                                                        bMonth: {
                                                            bDate: {
                                                                "firstName": req.body.contact.birthday.firstName,
                                                                "_id": data[0].contacts[data[0].contacts.length - 1]._id
                                                            }
                                                        }
                                                    }
                                                }
                                            }, {
                                                upsert: true
                                            }, function (err, result) {
                                                if (err)
                                                    return res.send(500, {
                                                        error: err
                                                    });
                                                else
                                                    res.sendStatus(200);


                                            });

bDate: { "firstName": "value" } is an object with key bDate! It's not actually { 12/11/2015: { ... Also don't do that kind of nasty nasting! — Andrey Popov

@AndreyPopov any ideas how to store birthday of every user in form of month and date ? :) — Rishabh Jain

Mongoose has Date type in it! :) Just make it a field inside the User schema, if you have one — Andrey Popov

i can do that , in fact i am doing that , but i also need a birthday collection , where everyday i will check for today's birthday and send mails , so i thought i would save a birthday object with nesting of month and day , then i will be able to extract that particular day directly @AndreyPopov Any help on this part please :) — Rishabh Jain

Why don't you add birthday to your contact model and query it every day like Contact.find({'birthday: {$gte: new Date(2016, 0, 1), $lt : new Date( 2016, 0, 2)}, function.....); to get all contacts with birthday in 1.1.2016 — Molda

You can add birthday to your contact model and query it every day like

 Contact.find({
      'birthday': {
           $gte: new Date(2016, 0, 1), 
           $lt : new Date( 2016, 0, 2)
      }
 }, function(err, results){
 ...
 });

to get all contacts with birthday in 1.1.2016
