rest api express update a field

I try to update a field in my collectionObject. This is my attempt, but not working. My get api for a specific item does work.

  app.put('/api/beers/:id/comment', (req,res) =>{



    Beer.findByIdAndUpdate(req.params.id, function(err, beer){
        beer.name='newName';

    });
});

can someone explain me, why it's not working? Much appreciated, thanks!

This is the format for findByIdAndUpdate

findByIdAndUpdate(id, update, options, callback)

You are not providing any update object. That's why it's not updating.

Try something like

 Beer.findByIdAndUpdate(req.params.id, {name : 'updatedName'},...
