MongoDB, remove object from array

Doc:

{
   _id: 5150a1199fac0e6910000002,
   name: 'some name,
   items: [{
      id: 23,
      name: 'item name 23'
   },{
      id: 24,
      name: 'item name 24'
   }]
}

Is there a way to pull a specific object from an array? I.E. how do I pull the entire item object with id 23 from the items array.

I have tried:

db.mycollection.update({'_id': ObjectId("5150a1199fac0e6910000002")}, {$pull: {id: 23}});

However I am pretty sure that I am not using 'pull' correctly. From what I understand pull will pull a field from an array but not an object.

Any ideas how to pull the entire object out of the array.

As a bonus I am trying to do this in mongoose/nodejs, as well not sure if this type of thing is in the mongoose API but I could not find it.

try..

db.mycollection.update(
    {'_id': ObjectId("5150a1199fac0e6910000002")}, 
    { $pull: { "items" : { id: 23 } } },
false,
true 
);

I have a document like

I have to delete address from address array

After searching lots on internet I found the solution

Customer.findOneAndUpdate(query, {$pull: {address: addressId}}, function(err, data){
        if(err) {
          return res.status(500).json({'error' : 'error in deleting address'});
        }

        res.json(data);

      });

my database:->
        {
       "_id" : ObjectId("5806056dce046557874d3ab18"),
       "data" : [ 
           {
               "id" : 1
           }, 
           {
               "id" : 2
           }, 
           {
               "id" : 3
           }
       ]
    }

MY QUERY:->
db.getCollection('play_table').update({},{$pull:{"data":{"id":3}}},{multi:true}
OutPut:->
{
  "_id" : ObjectId("5806056dce046557874d3ab18"),
       "data" : [ 
           {
               "id" : 1
           }, 
           {
               "id" : 2
           }
       ]
    }

You can try it also:

db.getCollection('docs').update({ },{'$pull':{ 'items':{'id': 3 }}},{multi:true})

Use $pull to remove the data

return this.mobiledashboardModel
.update({"_id": args.dashboardId}, { $pull: {"viewData": { "_id": widgetId}}})
.exec()
.then(dashboardDoc => {
     return {
        result: dashboardDoc
     }
});

The $pull operator removes from an existing array all instances of a value or values that match a specified condition.

The $pull operator has the form:

{ $pull: { <field1>: <value|condition>, <field2>: 
<value|condition>, ... } }

To specify a in an embedded document or in an array, use dot notation.

db.stores.update(
    { },
    { $pull: { fruits: { $in: [ "apples", "oranges" ] }, vegetables: 
    "carrots" } },
    { multi: true }
)

For a single record in array:

db.getCollection('documents').update(
    { },
    {'$pull':{ 'items':{'mobile': 1234567890 }}},
    {new:true}
);

For a multiple records with same mobile number in array:

db.getCollection('documents').update(
    { },
    {'$pull':{ 'items':{'mobile': 1234567890 }}},
    {new:true,multi:true}
)
