Primary and Embedded Updates

TIL how to update embedded documents at the same time as parent documents.

game.actors.getName("Foo").update({
  'data.traits.size': 'sm',
  items: [ {_id: "DHXcpH7kWIWXCaSB", 'data.quantity': 80} ]
});

game.actors.getName("Foo").update({
  'data.traits.size': 'sm',
  items: [ {_id: "DHXcpH7kWIWXCaSB", 'data.quantity': 80} ]
});

This makes sense when you look at the

data._source

data._source

of the Actor and see how the items are stored there.
