Node.js Mongoose和Postman:使用嵌套对象测试模型

Node.js Mongoose和Postman:使用嵌套对象测试模型,node.js,mongodb,mongoose,Node.js,Mongodb,Mongoose,我在nodeJS中使用Mongoose创建了这样的模型: 'use strict'; var mongoose = require('mongoose'); var Schema = mongoose.Schema; var plantSchema = new Schema({ plantData: [ { family: { type: String, default: 'Liliaceae' }, genusObj:

我在nodeJS中使用Mongoose创建了这样的模型:

'use strict';
var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var Schema = mongoose.Schema;

var plantSchema = new Schema({
    plantData: [
        {
            family: { type: String, default: 'Liliaceae' },
            genusObj: {
                genus: { type: String, required: 'Please enter the genus plant name' },
                tulipGroup: { type: String },           // e.g. Single Early
                tulipGroupNumber: { type: Number }      // e.g. 1
            },
            species: { type: String, required: 'Please enter the species plant name' },
            commonName: { type: String },
            description: { type: String },
            mainImage: {},
            otherImages: {},
            images: {},

        }
    ],

    detailsData: [ .... ]
});

module.exports = mongoose.model('plants', plantSchema);
这是我的控制器:

var mongoose = require('mongoose'),
Plant = mongoose.model('plants');

// READ ALL
exports.list_all_plants = function(req, res) {
    Plant.find({}, function(err, plants) {
        if (err) {
            res.send(err);
        }
          
        res.json(plants);
    });
};

// CREATE
exports.create_new_plant = function(req, res) {
    var new_plant = new Plant(req.body);
    new_plant.save(function(err, plant_inserted) {
        if (err) {
            res.send(err);
        }
        
        res.json(plant_inserted);
    });
};

// READ (probably plantId comes from an _id previously retrieved)
exports.read_a_plant = function(req, res) {
    Plant.findById(req.params.plantId, function(err, plant_searched) {
        if (err) {
            res.send(err);
        }
        
        res.json(plant_searched);
    });
};

// UPDATE
exports.update_a_plant = function(req, res) {
    Plant.findOneAndUpdate(
        { 
            _id: req.params.plantId 
        },
        req.body, 
        {new: true},
        function(err, plant_to_update) {
            if (err) {
                res.send(err);
            }
    
        res.json(plant_to_update);
        }
    );
};

// DELETE
exports.delete_a_plant = function(req, res) {
    Task.remove(
        {
            _id: req.params.plantId
        },    
        function(err, task) {
            if (err) {
                res.send(err);
            }
       
        res.json({ message: 'Plant successfully deleted' });
        }
    );
};
最后,我有一个路由器:

'use strict';
module.exports = function(app) {
    var plantList = require('../controllers/plantController');

    // plant routes
    app.route('/plants')
    .get(plantList.list_all_plants)
    .post(plantList.create_new_plant);


    app.route('/plants/:plantId')
    .get(plantList.read_a_plant)
    .put(plantList.update_a_plant)
    .delete(plantList.delete_a_plant);
我想做的是和邮递员一起测试这一切。 如果我尝试使用
GET
方法,只需使用

http://localhost:3000/plants
一切正常:我的意思是,它返回一个空数组(mongodb已启动并运行,所有内容都已设置)

现在,我想尝试在Postman中插入一个新元素:我在
body
下选择了
POST
x-www-form-urlencoded
。所需的属性是
plantData{genusObj{gen属}}
plantData{species}
:由于我对postman和mongodb都是新手,我如何在postman中输入子元素来创建一个新的
Plant
? 只有
KEY
VALUE
选项,我不知道如何编写像plantData->genusObj->genus这样的子键

注:欢迎对数据模型提出建议,我试图建立一个通用植物数据库,但以郁金香为对象(因此通常我可以输入郁金香,但如果我需要输入其他内容,我可以)。

好吧,这似乎适合我:事实上,在《邮递员》中,我在“body”下选择了“raw”选项,然后我从下拉菜单中选择JSON而不是文本,最后我使用了这个对象(同时我稍微更改了 型号)-不要忘记到处都有
符号,就像我一样-
