I am trying to run a MongoDB query to update the value of one field with the value of another nested field. I have the following document:
{
"name": "name",
"address": "address",
"times": 10,
"snapshots": [
{
"dayTotal": 2,
"dayHit": 2,
"dayIndex": 2
},
{
"dayTotal": 3,
"dayHit": 3,
"dayIndex": 3
}
]
}
I am trying like this:
db.netGraphMetadataDTO.updateMany(
{ },
[{ $set: { times: "$snapshots.$[elem].dayTotal" } }],
{
arrayFilters: [{"elem.dayIndex":{"$eq": 2}}],
upsert: false,
multi: true
}
);
but got an error:
arrayFilters may not be specified for pipeline-syle updates
You can't use arrayFilters with aggregation pipeline for update query at the same time.
Instead, what you need to do:
Get the dayTotal field from the result 2.
Take the first matched document from the result 3.
Filter the document from snapshots array.
db.netGraphMetadataDTO.updateMany({},
[
{
$set: {
times: {
$getField: {
field: "dayTotal",
input: {
$first: {
$filter: {
input: "$snapshots",
cond: {
$eq: [
"$$this.dayIndex",
2
]
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
],
{
upsert: false,
multi: true
})

I have the following sample of data:
{
_id: 1,
seniorityDate: '2001-01-01T00:00:00Z',
assigned: [
{
groupId: 11,
system: 'Dep',
effectiveDate: null
},
{
groupId: 12,
system: 'Team',
effectiveDate: null
},
...
]
}
and I would like to update the object effectiveDate based on seniorityDate in the array of assigned where system:'Team' only:
db.collection.updateMany({},
[{
$set: {
'assigned.$[elem].effectiveDate': '$seniorityDate'
}
}], {
arrayFilters: [{
"elem.system": "Team"
}]
})
but I got the following error:
arrayFilters may not be specified for pipeline-syle updates
The expected result will be:
{
_id: 1,
seniorityDate: '2001-01-01T00:00:00Z',
assigned: [
{
groupId: 11,
system: 'Dep',
effectiveDate: null
},
{
groupId: 12,
system: 'Team',
effectiveDate: '2001-01-01T00:00:00Z'
},
...
]
}
How can I achieve it?
You can't use the arrayFilters with the aggregation pipeline at the same time. While you are updating the value from another field, hence you can only achieve with aggregation pipeline.
$set - Set assigned field.
1.1. $map - Iterate element in assigned array and return new array.
1.1.1. $mergeObjects - Merge current iterated document with the document from 1.1.1.1.
1.1.1.1. Document with effectiveDate field. With the $cond operator, if matches the condition, use the seniorityDate value, else remain the existing value.
db.collection.updateMany({},
[
{
$set: {
"assigned": {
$map: {
input: "$assigned",
in: {
$mergeObjects: [
"$$this",
{
effectiveDate: {
$cond: {
if: {
$eq: [
"$$this.system",
"Team"
]
},
then: "$seniorityDate",
else: "$$this.effectiveDate"
}
}
}
]
}
}
}
}
}
])
Thanks to #rickhg12hs' suggestion, always limit the document for better performance, as you know which document/field should be updated by condition.
Hence your update query with query condition will be as below:
db.collection.updateMany({
"assigned.system": "Team"
},
[
...
])
Demo # Mongo Playground
In MongoDB, I want to have a document similar to this:
{
"project": "myproject",
"tasks": ["mytask"],
"tasksCount": 1
}
where tasksCount is the length of the tasks array. I use this upsert query as suggested here:
db.tasks.updateOne(
{ project: "myproject" },
{
$addToSet: { tasks: "mytask" },
$set: { tasksCount: { $size: "$tasks" } }
},
{ upsert: true }
)
But the actual document inserted, looks like this:
{
"project": "myproject",
"tasks": ["mytask"],
"tasksCount": {
"$size": "$tasks"
}
}
where the tasksCount is simply the object I pass in, instead of the actual size.
I am using mongo v5.0.8.
As #turvishal mentioned in the comment $size is an aggregation operator , here is an option using update with aggregation framework:
db.collection.update({
project: "myproject"
},
[
{
$project: {
tasks: {
$setUnion: [
"$tasks",
[
"mytask2"
]
]
}
}
},
{
$addFields: {
tasksCount: {
$size: "$tasks"
}
}
}
],
{
upsert: true,
multi: true
})
Explained:
Match all documents with project:"myproject"
Project $setUnion ( addToSet) to add the task to the tasks array.
Replace the field tasksCount with the size of the tasks array.
Upsert:true + multi:true to perform the operation for all matching and insert if there is no matchiing.

this is my schema:
new Schema({
code: { type: String },
toy_array: [
{
date:{
type:Date(),
default: new Date()
}
toy:{ type:String }
]
}
this is my db:
{
"code": "Toystore A",
"toy_array": [
{
_id:"xxxxx", // automatic
"toy": "buzz"
},
{
_id:"xxxxx", // automatic
"toy": "pope"
}
]
},
{
"code": "Toystore B",
"toy_array": [
{
_id:"xxxxx", // automatic
"toy": "jessie"
}
]
}
I am trying to update an object. In this case I want to update the document with code: 'ToystoreA' and add an array of subdocuments to the array named toy_array if the toys does not exists in the array.
for example if I try to do this:
db.mydb.findOneAndUpdate({
code: 'ToystoreA,
/*toy_array: {
$not: {
$elemMatch: {
toy: [{"toy":'woddy'},{"toy":"buzz"}],
},
},
},*/
},
{
$addToSet: {
toy_array: {
$each: [{"toy":'woddy'},{"toy":"buzz"}],
},
},
},
{
new: false,
}
})
they are added and is what I want to avoid.
how can I do it?
[
{
"code": "Toystore A",
"toy_array": [
{
"toy": "buzz"
},
{
"toy": "pope"
}
]
},
{
"code": "Toystore B",
"toy_array": [
{
"toy": "jessie"
}
]
}
]
In this example [{"toy":'woddy'},{"toy":"buzz"}] it should only be added 'woddy' because 'buzz' is already in the array.
Note:when I insert a new toy an insertion date is also inserted, in addition to an _id (it is normal for me).
As you're using $addToSet on an object it's failing for your use case for a reason :
Let's say if your document look like this :
{
_id: 123, // automatically generated
"toy": "buzz"
},
{
_id: 456, // automatically generated
"toy": "pope"
}
and input is :
[{_id: 789, "toy":'woddy'},{_id: 098, "toy":"buzz"}]
Here while comparing two objects {_id: 098, "toy":"buzz"} & {_id: 123, "toy":"buzz"} - $addToSet consider these are different and you can't use $addToSet on a field (toy) in an object. So try below query on MongoDB version >= 4.2.
Query :
db.collection.updateOne({"_id" : "Toystore A"},[{
$addFields: {
toy_array: {
$reduce: {
input: inputArrayOfObjects,
initialValue: "$toy_array", // taking existing `toy_array` as initial value
in: {
$cond: [
{ $in: [ "$$this.toy", "$toy_array.toy" ] }, // check if each new toy exists in existing arrays of toys
"$$value", // If yes, just return accumulator array
{ $concatArrays: [ [ "$$this" ], "$$value" ] } // If No, push new toy object into accumulator
]
}
}
}
}
}])

Ref : $reduce
Note :
You don't need to mention { new: false } as .findOneAndUpdate() return old doc by default, if you need new one then you've to do { new: true }. Also if anyone can get rid of _id's from schema of array objects then you can just use $addToSet as OP was doing earlier (Assume if _id is only unique field), check this stop-mongoose-from-creating-id-property-for-sub-document-array-items.
I'm trying to return a specific collection, however, I want to filter an array within the collection. I'm not sure if this is possible. In the example below I'm trying to return the collection with _id: 7ARk3dc2JA8g5pamA and filter out the array object for "candidateUserId": "2". I'm doing this in a Meteorjs application.
Eg: `Collection'
{
"_id": "7ARk3dc2JA8g5pamA",
"jobTitle": "Developer",
"candidateApplication": [
{
"candidateUserId": "1",
"applied": true
},
{
"candidateUserId": "2",
"applied": false
}
]
}
Path: Publish command
return Jobs.find({ _id: 7ARk3dc2JA8g5pamA }, {
$filter: {
input: candidateApplication,
cond: { candidateUserId: { $eq: 1 } }
}
});
Jobs.find({ _id: 7ARk3dc2JA8g5pamA }, { candidateApplication: { $elemMatch: { candidateUserId: 2 } } }
This should return the document with only the _id and the candidateUserId array, but that array will now only contain the object that you want.
{ "_id" : 7ARk3dc2JA8g5pamA, "candidateApplication" : [ { "candidateUserId": 2, "applied": false } ] }
You can then get to the data with candidateApplication[0].candidateUserId and candidateApplication[0].applied
As mentioned in the comments above, if there are more instances of that same candidateUserId, only the first will be returned.
I have the following documents:
[{
"_id":1,
"name":"john",
"position":1
},
{"_id":2,
"name":"bob",
"position":2
},
{"_id":3,
"name":"tom",
"position":3
}]
In the UI a user can change position of items(eg moving Bob to first position, john gets position 2, tom - position 3).
Is there any way to update all positions in all documents at once?
You can not update two documents at once with a MongoDB query. You will always have to do that in two queries. You can of course set a value of a field to the same value, or increment with the same number, but you can not do two distinct updates in MongoDB with the same query.
You can use db.collection.bulkWrite() to perform multiple operations in bulk. It has been available since 3.2.
It is possible to perform operations out of order to increase performance.
From mongodb 4.2 you can do using pipeline in update using $set operator
there are many ways possible now due to many operators in aggregation pipeline though I am providing one of them
exports.updateDisplayOrder = async keyValPairArr => {
try {
let data = await ContestModel.collection.update(
{ _id: { $in: keyValPairArr.map(o => o.id) } },
[{
$set: {
displayOrder: {
$let: {
vars: { obj: { $arrayElemAt: [{ $filter: { input: keyValPairArr, as: "kvpa", cond: { $eq: ["$$kvpa.id", "$_id"] } } }, 0] } },
in:"$$obj.displayOrder"
}
}
}
}],
{ runValidators: true, multi: true }
)
return data;
} catch (error) {
throw error;
}
}
example key val pair is: [{"id":"5e7643d436963c21f14582ee","displayOrder":9}, {"id":"5e7643e736963c21f14582ef","displayOrder":4}]
Since MongoDB 4.2 update can accept aggregation pipeline as second argument, allowing modification of multiple documents based on their data.
See https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/method/db.collection.update/#modify-a-field-using-the-values-of-the-other-fields-in-the-document
Excerpt from documentation:
Modify a Field Using the Values of the Other Fields in the Document
Create a members collection with the following documents:
db.members.insertMany([
{ "_id" : 1, "member" : "abc123", "status" : "A", "points" : 2, "misc1" : "note to self: confirm status", "misc2" : "Need to activate", "lastUpdate" : ISODate("2019-01-01T00:00:00Z") },
{ "_id" : 2, "member" : "xyz123", "status" : "A", "points" : 60, "misc1" : "reminder: ping me at 100pts", "misc2" : "Some random comment", "lastUpdate" : ISODate("2019-01-01T00:00:00Z") }
])
Assume that instead of separate misc1 and misc2 fields, you want to gather these into a new comments field. The following update operation uses an aggregation pipeline to:
add the new comments field and set the lastUpdate field.
remove the misc1 and misc2 fields for all documents in the collection.
db.members.update(
{ },
[
{ $set: { status: "Modified", comments: [ "$misc1", "$misc2" ], lastUpdate: "$$NOW" } },
{ $unset: [ "misc1", "misc2" ] }
],
{ multi: true }
)
Suppose after updating your position your array will looks like
const objectToUpdate = [{
"_id":1,
"name":"john",
"position":2
},
{
"_id":2,
"name":"bob",
"position":1
},
{
"_id":3,
"name":"tom",
"position":3
}].map( eachObj => {
return {
updateOne: {
filter: { _id: eachObj._id },
update: { name: eachObj.name, position: eachObj.position }
}
}
})
YourModelName.bulkWrite(objectToUpdate,
{ ordered: false }
).then((result) => {
console.log(result);
}).catch(err=>{
console.log(err.result.result.writeErrors[0].err.op.q);
})
It will update all position with different value.
Note : I have used here ordered : false for better performance.
