Update() in mongo db is deprecated and it was used for updating a record. Now this function can be done using replaceOne() . Here is the sample express js code for replacing and updating a mongo db record.
app.route('/articles/:articleTitle').put(function(req, res){
Article.replaceOne(
{title: req.params.articleTitle},
{title: req.body.title, content: req.body.content},
{overwrite: true},
function(err){
if(!err){
res.send("Successfully updated article.");
}else{
res.send("failed");
}
}
);
})
