MongoDB Increment Array of objects

Question

Can someone help me how to properly make a update increment query for my data

For example I would like to increment the quantity of Unix Mug by 1, by the user with email: "[email protected]"

This one doesn't work for me

UserData.updateOne({email: email}, { $inc : {items: [{quantity: 1}]}})

You can use the positional operator ($) as shown below:

db.users.updateOne({
  email: "USER_EMAIL",
  "items.productName": "Unix Mug"
}, {
  $inc: {
    "items.$.quantity": 1
  }
})
