How can you add a new column to an existing class?

Moralis General
#41 
const addVotes = async (result) => {

        console.log(result.target.id)

        const Posts = Moralis.Object.extend("Posts");

        const query = await new Moralis.Query(Posts);

        query.equalTo("title", result.target.id);

        console.log(query)

        const x = await query.find()

        const results = JSON.stringify(x)

        const finalResults = JSON.parse(results)

        console.log(finalResults)

        finalResults[0].set("votes", votes++)

        finalResults.save()

    }

So right now this should work? :grimacing:

No, not a save like that on array, you have to make that save on the array element, similar on how you want to use .set

#43

arrgh

this is fine then:

But when I do this, the finalResults doesn’t get saved as the item clicked, but whenever I console.log(finalResults) without the save and set it does print the correct object array.

const addVotes = async (result) => {

        console.log(result.target.id)

        const Posts = Moralis.Object.extend("Posts");

        const query = await new Moralis.Query(Posts);

        query.equalTo("title", result.target.id);

        console.log(query)

        const x = await query.find()

        const results = JSON.stringify(x)

        const finalResults = JSON.parse(results)

        console.log(finalResults)

        finalResults[0].set("votes", votes++)

        finalResults[0].save()

    }
#44

I think that you can use x directly without these 2 lines

#45 
const addVotes = async (result) => {

        const Posts = Moralis.Object.extend("Posts");

        const query = await new Moralis.Query(Posts);

        query.equalTo("title", result.target.id);

        console.log(result.target.id)

        console.log(query)

        const x = await query.first();

    console.log(x)

        x.set("votes", 1);

        x.save();

    }

Okay like this it does work, but all the values are being saved as “null”

#46

if you use console.log(x) after this line, the values are still “null”?

#47

found the error already wow this took a long time

#48

well sometimes it works, sometimes it shows undefined :rofl:
