mongoose findOneAndUpdate with upsert does not create new doc

I'm trying to update user doc if user exist or create new user doc if user does not exist:

app.post('/userUpdate', async (req,res)=> {
    var body = req.body;

    try{
        const updatedUser = await User.findOneAndUpdate(body.facebookId, body, {new: true, upsert: true, runValidators: true});
    res.send({updatedUser});
    } catch (e) {
        res.send(400).send(e);
    }
});

but the result is updating existing user if the query (body.facebookId) does not exist.

Are there mongoose users who can help? Thanks in advance.

Hey Tal. I wish I could help, but I have no experience with Mongo. Hope you get it figured out!
