How do you reload this page / popup in Node?

Here's where my user starts:

They click on the pencil and they get this pop up:

After they finish updating their record, they get a popup that says, "Good job!" I'm working on that now.

But how do I refresh the screen they're looking at?

I can't reload the page because that eliminates the window they're looking at.

How do you do it?

Chris, this is awesome!

But...

I'm getting an undefined" for my "resp.data.activity.notes" etc.

When I do a console.log(resp), I get Object Object.

Here's my code:

router.post('/companies/update-activity', async (req, res) => {

try {
let _data = {
notes : req.body.notes,
date : req.body.date,
company : req.body.company,
type : req.body.activityType
}

  console.log(_data.notes);
  console.log(req.body.activityId);

Activity.model.updateOne({ _id: req.body.activityId }, {
$set: {
// set up the data you want to persist to the DB
meta : {
  notes: _data.notes,
  date: _data.date,
},
type: _data.type,
}
},
  { runValidators: true }, (err) => {
if (err) {
console.log(err)
return res.send(Activity.error('Sorry! Something went wrong! Try again!'))
}
res.send(Activity.success({notes: "hello"} ))
});

} catch (err) {
res.send(Company.error(err))
}

This: res.send(Activity.success({notes: "hello"} )) was just me fooling around with some different ideas.

What am I missing?

If you just send this back:

res.send(Activity.success({notes: "hello"} ))

Then you'll only have access to that as resp.data.notes

If you want to send a full Activity back, then you need to do this:

let activity = ... // make sure this is a fully populated activity (built or queried)
res.send(Activity.success({activity: activity} ))

Where the second acticity in the coed above is a variable holding a fully populated activity. The you resp will have an activity property and that property will have the relevant proeprties from the activity (phew - so many activities, I need a lie down!)

resp.data.activity.notes;

I got it!

If you could take a look at https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/29178683/How-can-I-create-a-basic-delete-for-this-Node-application.html , I'll be done!

Thanks!

Excellent.

On the Delete question, have you tried the code already posted - Leakim looks like he's got a handle on that one but I'll keep an eye on it.
