Remote method for updating all records

Question

I try to make a custom endpoint, which adds a bonus to all employee. And retorns all the employee records, just like the get endpoint. Something like /employees/bonus

As I understand; I should make a remote method for this:

common/models/employee.js

Employee.bonus = function(cb){
  // logic comes here
  cb(null,"")
}

Employee.remoteMethod(
  'bonus',{}
)

This makes the endpoint, but how can request all the employees, to loop them through and increase their salary property?

Query your Employee model, apply filter if you need, then loop through results.

Employee.find(
  filter, 
  function(err,employees) {
    if(err){
      console.log(err);
    }
    employees.forEach(
      function(employee){
         fnIncSalary(employee.salary);
        //do something with employee instance
      }
    );
  }
);
