forEach loop not working inside nodejs db insert?

Question

Okay so i am trying to create a mongoose insert using 2 sets of data from two variables i have set. When i try using the loop outside the db insert function it displays the data however inside the db i get the error unexpected token .forEach.

var storedaily = store['storefronts'][3]['catalogEntries'];
var storeweekly = store['storefronts'][5]['catalogEntries'];
  //console.log(storedaily);
  storedaily.forEach(function(key) {
    console.log(key.devName);
  });

   var insertstore = new Shop({
      storedaily.forEach(function(key) {
        itemName: key.devName
   });
 });
 insertstore.save();

You are getting the unexpected token .forEach error because you have it placed inside the curly braces of the Shop constructor, which expects an object with keys and values.

If you want to create a Store object with a property items that is an array, you could try doing something like this:

var insertstore = new Shop({
   items: storedaily.map(key => key.devName)
});
