mongodb modifying with express

Player.findByIdAndUpdate(player, {
    $set: {
        points1: {success: , total: }    // modify needed here
    }
}, function(err){
    if (err) {
        console.log(err);
    } else {
        console.log("UPDATED");
    }
});

I want to increase value of points1.success and points1.total. But I don't know the correct syntax of doing it. Please help me

Maybe findByIdAndUpdate is not the best choice in this case (because we don't know original value of points1).

With the findById traditional approach, you can increment value like this:

Player.findById(player, (err, res) => {
  if (err) return console.log(err)
  res.points1.success++
  res.points1.total++
  res.save(err => {
    if (err) return console.log(err)
    console.log("UPDATED")
  })
})

But for sure, there are other ways to do the same.
