I am extremely new to javascript and found Brad Traversy's video Node.js with Passport Authentication and followed his video to a t. It worked for me, but then I wanted to add more

Solution 1:

in your requiring User model do it like this

constUser=require('../models/User');

then

functionupdateRecord(req, res) {
User.findOne({_id:req.body.id},(err,doc)=>{
 //this will give you the document what you want to update.. then 
doc.name = req.body.name; //so on and so forth// then save that document
doc.save(callback);

});

}
