Mongoose - Discord saving channels in arrays

So I wanna clear it in first that I am a beginner in mongoose. So I wanted a help regarding saving arrays in the database. I want to relate this to Discord. I was building a bot where I want to store the ids of the channels to make the bot respond on them only. Earlier I was using Enmap, but transferred to mongoose for ease. So I don't know how to store arrays then push another string inside that array. Please help me out in this situation 😥

It's just so easy, after creating your model aka schema, you just set the type to array

example:

const mongoose = require('mongoose')
const schema = mongoose.Schema({
   GuildId: {
     type: String
     required: true
   },

   ChannelIds: {
      type: Array,
      default: []
   }
})

module.exports = mongoose.model("the_model_name", schema)

Alright now in your command you will need to get the data from the db

example:

// first you will need to define your schema
const schema = require('schema path')

// now we will define data and we will use try catch to not get any errors
let data;
try {
   // Put here the guild id such as the message.guild.id, or anything that is unique for that data
   data = await schema.findOne({ GuildId: ## })

   // if there is no data we want to create a schema for it
   if(!data) {
      data = await schema.create({ GuildId: ## })
   }
} catch(e) {
   // if there is any error log it
   console.log(e)
}

Now after we got the data we just push the channel id, to add it you just need to push it.

example

data.ChannelIds.push(/*the channel id or whatever you want to push*/)

last but not least just save the data

example

await data.save()
