node.js - Mongoose updateMany by manipulating data before saving each item

Question

I have seen how mongoose updateMany() can be used to update some fields easily. My question is can updateMany() also be used when you are to manipulate data before updating the database. I have some lines of code here below. Can updateMany be used to implement something similar to this?

    try {
        const userWithObjectLocation = await User.find({zipcode: { $exists: true }});
        userWithObjectLocation.map(async user =>{
          const locationObject = zipcodes.lookup(user.zipcode);
          if(locationObject){
            const location  = `${locationObject.city}, ${locationObject.state}`
            await User.findByIdAndUpdate(user._id, {location})

          }
        })
        return res.status(200).json({message: "Location has been updated successfully"});
      } catch (err) {
        console.log(err);
        return res.status(500).json(err);
      }

Answer 1

you know that the result await User.find({zipcode: { $exists: true }}) is a Array of Model, so in map, each user is a model...

for your problem don't need to use findByIdAndUpdate

you can try this

    try {
        const userWithObjectLocation = await User.find({zipcode: { $exists: true }});
        userWithObjectLocation.map(async user =>{
          const locationObject = zipcodes.lookup(user.zipcode);
          if(locationObject){
            const location  = `${locationObject.city}, ${locationObject.state}`
            user.location = location;
            await user.save() 

          }
        })
        return res.status(200).json({message: "Location has been updated successfully"});
      } catch (err) {
        console.log(err);
        return res.status(500).json(err);
      }
