Assigning a Date Object to update
I would like to know how to assign a date object in this scenario, I need to update lastUpdate, whenever user changes his details.
I also tried Object.assign(user.lastUpdated, new Date());
exports.edit = (req, res, next) => {
const userid = req.params.id;
const errorHandler = (error) => {
next(error);
};
const updateUser = (user) => {
Object.assign(user, req.body);
Object.assign(user.lastUpdated, new Date());// not working
user.lastUpdated= new Date(); //not able to save this in database
user.save().then(() => {
res.json({
uid: user.id,
username: user.username,
displayName: user.displayName,
password:user.password,
lastUpdated: user.lastUpdated// result should be last updated Date.
});
}).catch(errorHandler);
};
};

The Object.assign() method is used to copy the values of all enumerable own properties from one or more source objects to a target object. It will return the target object. ( https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Object/assign ).
But in your code Object.assign(user.lastUpdated, new Date()); what you are trying to do is join two values together. So it won't work.
Try like this : Object.assign( user, { lastUpdated : new Date() } );
