Node.js modified AJAX insertion to MongoDB - ajax

Question

I am succesfully posting an AJAX insert in my MondoDB database.
The user is supposed to fill in 3 fields,
Full Name
Email
Phone
What I would like to do is:
generate a random number in server-side and save it as a 4th field in my MongoDB.
Also I would like to post it as a response back to the user.
Here is my users.js file (server-side)
* POST to adduser.
*/
router.post('/adduser', function(req, res) {
var db = req.db;
var codeResponse = generateCode();
db.collection('userlist').insert(req.body, function(err, result){
res.send(
(err === null) ? { msg: '',code: codeResponse } : { msg: err }
);
});
});
function generateCode(){
var code = Math.random() *1000000;
code = Math.floor(code);
return code;
}
And this is my AJAX call(client-side)
var newUser = {
'id2': id2,
'fullname': $('#addUser fieldset input#inputUserFullname').val(),
'email': $('#addUser fieldset input#inputUserEmail').val(),
'phone': $('#addUser fieldset input#inputUserPhone').val(),
}
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
data: newUser,
url: '/users/adduser',
dataType: 'JSON'
}).done(function( response ) {
// Check for successful (blank) response
if (response.msg === '') {
console.log(response);
}
else {
alert('Error: ' + response.msg);
}
});

Answer 1

Easy enough, add it to your object before insert and post back the object:
router.post('/adduser', function(req, res) {
var db = req.db;
var document = req.body;
var codeResponse = generateCode();
document.code = codeResponse;
db.collection('userlist').insert(document, function(err, result){
if (err) //do something
return;
else
res.send(document);
});
});
