How to create multiple array of objects in Mongoose?

can anyone help me how to add multiple "Addons" per create ? With this code I can add only one addons .. (Tested in postman) but can anyone suggest me how I can make it to add multiple addons ?

Model

const itemSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
name: {
    type:String
},
price:{
    type:Boolean
},
addons:[{
    addonsName:{
        type:String
    },
    price:{
        type:String
    }
}]

})

Controller :

const addItem = await Item.create({
    name:req.body.name,
    price: idOfGroup,
    addons:[{addonsName:req.body.addonsName, price: req.body.price}]
});
res.status(200).json({status:'Success',addItem})

I "fix" it doing

 const addItem = await Item.create(req.body);

And in postman I write

{
"name":"Test1",
 "addons" : [
    {
        "addonsName":"Test",
        "price":"100"
    },
    {
        "addonsName":"TestTest",
        "price":"200"
    }
 ]

}

But Is this the wrong way of using .Create() ?

you can make the addons as Array like below you can see

const itemSchema = new mongoose.Schema({

name: {
    type:String
},
price:{
    type:Boolean
},
addons:[]

)}

In controller:

const addItem = await Item.create({
    name:req.body.name,
    price: idOfGroup,
    addons:req.body.addons
});
res.status(200).json({status:'Success',addItem})

Postman request payload:

{
"name":"Test1",
 "addons" : [
    {
        "addonsName":"Test",
        "price":"100"
    },
    {
        "addonsName":"TestTest",
        "price":"200"
    }
 ]
}

According to your postman sample, you're passing the addons array under the key addons. So just pass that as the addons:

const addItem = await Item.create({
  name: req.body.name,
  price: idOfGroup,
  addons: req.body.addons,
});
res.status(200).json({ status: "Success", addItem });

You could additionally use object destructuring to get rid of the req.body. repetition:

const { name, addons } = req.body;

const addItem = await Item.create({
  name,
  price: idOfGroup,
  addons,
});
res.status(200).json({ status: "Success", addItem });
