In the good old days this was what you needed to do if you wanted to edit a document and be able to use it somehow e.g. sending it back in a server response. Mongoose has a dedicated updating method : Model.update(). It is bound to the low-level mongo driver. It can bulk edit many documents matching certain criteria, but it doesn’t send back the updated document, only a ‘status’ message. Furthermore it makes model validations difficult, because it just directly calls the mongo driver.

Find a person by _id ( use any of the above methods ) with the parameter personId as search key. Add "hamburger" to the list of the person's favoriteFoods (you can use Array.push()). Then - inside the find callback - save() the updated Person. Note: This may be tricky, if in your Schema, you declared favoriteFoods as an Array, without specifying the type (i.e. [String]). In that casefavoriteFoods defaults to Mixed type, and you have to manually mark it as edited using document.markModified('edited-field'). See [Mongoose documentation](https://mongoosejs.com/docs/schematypes.html#Mixed)
