Replacing a Document in MongoDB

To replace documents in MongoDB, we use the replaceOne() method. The replaceOne() method takes the following parameters:

• filter: A query that matches the document to replace.
• replacement: The new document to replace the old one with.
• options: An object that specifies options for the update.

In the previous video, we use the _id field to filter the document. In our replacement document, we provide the entire document that should be inserted in its place. Here's the example code from the video:

db.books.replaceOne(
  {
    _id: ObjectId("6282afeb441a74a98dbbec4e"),
  },
