How to update array's field in Mongodb with Go

I want to change stu1 to stu3

import (
    "gopkg.in/mgo.v2"
    "gopkg.in/mgo.v2/bson"
)
type Student struct {
    Name string `bson:"name"`
    Age  string `bson:"age"`
}
type Class struct {
    Id      string    `bson:"_id"`
    Student []Student `bson:"student"`
}

col := mongosession.DB("test").C("class")

stu1 := Student{"jack", "18"}
stu2 := Student{"rose", "16"}
class := Class{Id: "123", Student: []Student{stu1, stu2}}
col.Insert(class)

stu3 := Student{"lisi", "14"}

How do I do the update? Is it like the following

col.Update(bson.M{"_id": "123"},
            bson.M{"$set": bson.M{"student": ??????}})

Any help will be appreciated!

Solution

  • You can use the $set operator and the dot notation :

    err := col.Update(
  bson.M{"_id": "123"},
  bson.M{
    "$set": bson.M{
      "student.0": &stu3
    }
})
