Query nested array from document - mongodb

Question

Given the following document data in collection called 'blah'...
[
{
"_id" : ObjectId("60913f55987438922d5f0db6"),
"procedureCode" : "code1",
"description" : "Description 1",
"coding" : [
{
"system" : "ABC",
"code" : "L111"
},
{
"system" : "DEFG",
"code" : "S222"
}
]
},
{
"_id" : ObjectId("60913f55987438922d5f0dbc"),
"procedureCode" : "code2",
"description" : "Description 2",
"coding" : [
{
"system" : "ABC",
"code" : "L999"
},
{
"system" : "DEFG",
"code" : "X3333"
}
]
}
]
What I want to get is all of the coding elements where system is ABC for all parents, and an array of codes like so.
[
{ "code": "L111" },
{ "code": "L999" },
]
If I use db.getCollection('blah').find({"coding.system": "ABC"}) I get the parent document with any child in the coding array of ICD.
If I use...
db.getCollection("blah")
.find({ "coding.system": "ABC" })
.projection({ "coding.code": 1 })
I do get the parent documents which have a child with a system of "ABC", but the coding for "DEFG" seems to come along for the ride too.
{
"_id" : ObjectId("60913f55987438922d5f0db6"),
"coding" : [
{
"code" : "L989"
},
{
"code" : "S102"
}
]
},
{
"_id" : ObjectId("60913f55987438922d5f0dbc"),
"coding" : [
{
"code" : "L989"
},
{
"code" : "X382"
}
]
}
I have also tried experimenting with:
db.getCollection("blah").aggregate(
{ $unwind: "$coding" },
{ $match: { "system": "ICD" } }
);
.. as per this page: mongoDB query to find the document in nested array
... but go no where fast with that approach. i.e. no records at all.
What query do I need, please, to achieve something like this..?
[
{ "code": "L111" },
{ "code": "L999" },
...
]
or even better, this..?
[
"L111",
"L999",
...
]

db.collection.aggregate([
{
$match: { "coding.system": "ABC" }
},
{
$unwind: "$coding"
},
{
$match: { "coding.system": "ABC" }
},
{
$project: { code: "$coding.code" }
}
])

Instead of $unwind, $match you can also use $filter:
db.collection.aggregate([
{ $match: { "coding.system": "ABC" } },
{
$project: {
coding: {
$filter: {
input: "$coding",
cond: { $eq: [ "$$this.system", "ABC" ] }
}
}
}
}
])
