Use regex in expr in Mongodb aggragtion pipeline - mongodb

Question

I have Country Table
{
"_id" : ObjectId("627cd43f48aea72fdc0d88e0"),
"county" : "india"
},
{
"_id" : ObjectId("627cd43f48aea72fdc0d88e1"),
"county" : "china"
}
And City Table
{
"_id" : ObjectId("627cd43f48aea72fdc0d88e0"),
"county_name" : "India"
},
{
"_id" : ObjectId("627cd43f48aea72fdc0d88e1"),
"county_name" : "China"
}
In Country Table Country name is in lower letter and In City Table Country Name is in Upper Letter. So Now how can use like condition to join both collection with matching same name.
Ex. Get Data of india Like India
db.getCollection('countryTable').aggregate([
{
$lookup: {
from: "cityTable",
let: { county: "$county" },
pipeline: [{
$match: {
"$expr": {
"$regexMatch": {
"input": "$county_name",
"regex": "$$county",
"options": "i"
}
}
}
}],
as: "citydetails"
}
},
{ $unwind: "$citydetails" }
])

With MongoDB v4.0, you can do the $match in subpipeline with $toLower
db.countryTable.aggregate([
{
$lookup: {
from: "cityTable",
let: {
county: "$county"
},
pipeline: [
{
$match: {
"$expr": {
$eq: [
{
"$toLower": "$$county"
},
{
"$toLower": "$county_name"
}
]
}
}
}
],
as: "citydetails"
}
},
{
$unwind: "$citydetails"
}
])
