I wonder if mongoose has some method to update multiple documents by id set. For example:
for (var i = 0, l = ids.length; i < l; i++) {
Element.update({'_id': ids[i]}, {'visibility': visibility} ,function(err, records){
if (err) {
return false;
} else {
return true;
};
});
};
What i want to know, that if mongoose can do something like this:
Element.update({'_id': ids}, {'visibility': visibility}, {multi: true} ,function(err, records){
if (err) {
return false;
}
});
where ids is an array of ids, like ['id1', 'id2', 'id3'] – sample array.
Same question for find.

Most probably yes. And it is called using $in operator in mongodb query for update.
All you need is to find how to implement $in in mongoose.
