How to update a mongodb collection

See original GitHub issue

I have the following code:

exports.up = function(db, callback) {
  db.createCollection('table', function() {
    db.insert('table', {
      name: 'micha'
    }, function() {
      db.update('table', {
        name: 'cedric',
        surname: 'camelot'
      }, {
        name: 'micha'
      }, callback);
    });
  });
};

Baiscly what i want is to update specific fields.

What iam getting is:

[ERROR] TypeError: db.update is not a function

@wzrdtales why not simply pass mongodb driver as argument to up/down functions ? In the moment I should use _run that get access to most api of mongodb driver. This is very strange.

@BorntraegerMarc Thanks for hitting me up again, things can get lost quite quickly. I often read issues but have no time to immediately answer them. Later they do not pop up again in the notifications though. It is never bad to just ping me up once again, to make me notice 😃

@lampe There is a theoretical implementation already there though. Although it is not available on the public api: https://github.com/db-migrate/mongodb/blob/master/index.js#L432

You could however currently run _run directly with ‘update’ as first argument, see https://github.com/db-migrate/mongodb/blob/master/index.js#L260
