all.

I am writing a MEAN stack application, using Mongoose (4.0.6) with Node/Express to interface with MongoDB, and I am running into difficulty populating saved documents when I later save new documents that the existing document should have a reference to. Specifically, in the app I have a user create an instance of a company before creating their admin account for that company, so when the user registers him/herself as an admin, I'd like the company document to populate its users array with the new user.

Here are my schemas for company and user:

User.js...

var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var Schema   = mongoose.Schema;
var ObjectId = Schema.Types.ObjectId;

var userSchema = new Schema({
  first_name:      { type: String, required: '{PATH} is required!' },
  last_name:       { type: String, required: '{PATH} is required!' },
  username:        { type: String, required: '{PATH} is required!', lowercase: true, unique: true },
  password:        { type: String, required: '{PATH} is required!' },
  roles:           { type: [String] },
  company:         { type: ObjectId, ref: 'Company', required: true },
  db_permissions: [{ type: ObjectId, ref: 'DataConnection' }],
  created_by:      { type: ObjectId, ref: 'User' }, 
  created_at:      { type: Date, default: Date.now },
  updated_at:     [{ type: Date, default: Date.now }]
});

var User = mongoose.model('User', userSchema);

module.exports = {
  User: User
};

Company.js...

var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var Schema   = mongoose.Schema;
var ObjectId = Schema.Types.ObjectId;

var companySchema = new Schema({
  name:              { type: String, uppercase: true, required: '{PATH} is required!', unique: true }, 
  industry:          { type: String, required: '{PATH} is required!' }, 
  phone:             { type: String, required: '{PATH} is required!' },
  address_line_1:    { type: String, uppercase: true, required: '{PATH} is required!' },
  address_line_2:    { type: String, uppercase: true },
  city:              { type: String, uppercase: true, required: '{PATH} is required!' },
  state_prov:        { type: String, uppercase: true, required: '{PATH} is required!' },
  postal_code:       { type: String, required: '{PATH} is required!' },
  country:           { type: String, required: '{PATH} is required!' }, 
  logo_url:            String,
  users:            [{ type: ObjectId, ref: 'User' }],
  data_connections: [{ type: ObjectId, ref: 'DataConnection' }],
  created_at:        { type: Date, default: Date.now },
  updated_at:       [{ type: Date, default: Date.now }]
});

var Company = mongoose.model('Company', companySchema);

module.exports = {
  Company: Company
};

Here is the code in my controller:

User.create(userData, function(err, user) {
  if(err) {
    if(err.toString().indexOf('E11000') > -1) {
      err = new Error('Duplicate email');
    }
    res.status(400);
    return res.send({ reason:err.toString() });
  }
  console.log('company id: ' + user.company);
  Company.findById(user.company)
    .populate({path: 'users'})
    .exec(function (err, company) {
      if (err) return handleError(err);
      console.log(company.name + '\'s users now includes ' + company.users);
    });   
  res.send(user);

The company (e.g. TEST53) saves to the database correctly with an empty users array:

{
    "_id": "55ae421bf469f1b97bb52d5a",
    "name": "TEST53",
    "industry": "Construction",
    "phone": "2352626254",
    "city": "GDFGD",
    "country": "United States",
    "address_line_1": "DSGDFGH",
    "state_prov": "GF",
    "postal_code": "45645",
    "logo_url": "",
    "__v": 0,
    "updated_at": [
        "2015-07-21T12:59:07.609Z"
    ],
    "created_at": "2015-07-21T12:59:07.597Z",
    "data_connections": [],
    "users": []
}

Then when I create the user, it saves correctly:

{
    "_id": "55ae4238f469f1b97bb52d5b",
    "username": "test53@test.com",
    "password": "$2a$12$ZB6L1NCZEhLfjs99yUUNNOQEknyQmX6nP2BxBvo1uZGlvk9LlKGFu",
    "company": "55ae421bf469f1b97bb52d5a",
    "first_name": "Test53",
    "last_name": "Admin",
    "__v": 0,
    "updated_at": [
        "2015-07-21T12:59:36.925Z"
    ],
    "created_at": "2015-07-21T12:59:36.550Z",
    "db_permissions": [],
    "roles": [
        "admin"
    ]
}

And I can see that the correct ObjectId prints to the console for user.company:

company id: 55ae421bf469f1b97bb52d5a

But the company's users array doesn't populate with the user's id, and the console.log inside the .exec function prints 'TEST53's users now includes '.

I have tried several ways of wiring this up, with just 'users' instead of { path: 'users' }, writing a function that pushes the user into the array, using .run instead of .exec, but so far without success.

Is there something obvious I'm missing? Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

您实际上并没有将用户添加到公司。

尝试这个：

Company.findById(user.company, function (err, company) {
  if (err) return handleError(err);

  // Add the user to the company's list of users.
  company.users.push(user);

  // Need to save again.
  company.save(function(err) {
    if (err) return handleError(err);
    console.log(company.name + '\'s users now includes ' + company.users);
  });
});
res.send(user);

在我看来，您想要做的就是更新Company模型以添加用户，而不是实际使用（填充的）Company文档作为响应，所以我省略了一个额外的Company.findById(...).populate(...)调用。
