From what I could determine, any time you call
save()
on an existing document, the update overwrites the document in the DB.If you just want to update a single attribute in the document you first need to load the entire document into memory and then send the entire document back over the wire with the updates.
This change provides the option to update specific attributes of an existing document.
Example
I'm not sure
merge
is the best term?overwrite: false
might be better but then we need to ensure it's truthy everywhere as default.Ref https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/operator/update/set
