For background, I have to create a field in a collection, but ONLY if another known field (an array) is not empty. I'm trying to make a boolean filter with the $and and some conditions:
$set: {
clientsAllowed: {
$cond: {
if: {
$and: [
{
businessAllowed: { $exists: true },
},
{
businessAllowed: { $type: "array" },
},
{
businessAllowed: { $ne: [] },
},
],
},
then: [...],
else: [...],
},
}
}
But I get this error:
Invalid $set :: caused by :: Unrecognized expression '$exists'
Is the $exists wrongly formatted? Or is the $and stage? Any ideas?
Type cond for businessAllowed is enough. You don't need to check exists or not.
db.collection.aggregate([
{
$set: {
clientsAllowed: {
$cond: {
if: {
$and: [
{
"$eq": [
{
$type: "$businessAllowed"
},
"array"
]
},
{
$ne: [
"$businessAllowed",
[]
]
}
]
},
then: [],
else: []
}
}
}
}
])

I have an aggregation pipeline in which i want to add new field based on certain condition. My pipeline is like this
[
{ // match stage
$or:[
{
$and: [
{placement: {'$nin': [-1,-2]}},
{contract_proposal_metadata : {$exists: true}}
]
},
{
risk_info_request_metadata: {$exists: true}
}
]
}
]
Now i want to add a new field record_type based on the condition that if contract_proposal_metadata exists so record type will be 'renewal' and if risk_info_request_metadata is exists then record_type will be request.
How can i achieve this?
You are not adding new field conditionally. You are always adding the field, just with different values.
There is $cond operator which returns 1 of 2 values depending on condition in the first argument.
You already know $exist for the $match stage, and the equivalent operator to use in aggregation expression is $type
[
{ // match stage
.....
},
{ // adding the field
$addFields: {
record_type: { $cond: {
if: { $eq: [ { $type: "$contract_proposal_metadata" }, "missing" ] },
then: "request",
else: "renewal"
} }
}
}
]
You need to use aggregate update
db.collection.update({
placement: { //Your match goes here
"$nin": [
-1,
-2
]
},
},
[
{
$set: {
status: {
$switch: {
branches: [
{ //update condition goes here
case: {
$ifNull: [
"$contract_proposal_metadata",
false
]
},
then: "renewal"
},
{
case: {
$ifNull: [
"$risk_info_request_metadata",
false
]
},
then: "request"
},
],
default: ""
}
}
}
}
],
{
multi: true
})
It supported from mongo 4.2+
$exists cannot be used, hence $ifnull used

Hi i am trying to use MONGODB query inside TIBCO jasperstudio to create a report
What I am trying to do is filter the data using two parameters #orderitemuid and #ordercatuid. My case is if I put a parameter using #orderitemuid, it will disregard the parameter for #ordercatuid. Vise versa, if I put a parameter using #ordercatuid, it will disregard the parameter for #orderitemuid. But there is also an option when using bot parameters in the query. I used a $switch inside the $match but I am getting an error. Below is the $match I am using
{
$match: {
$switch: {
branches: [
{
case: { $eq: [{ $IfNull: [$P{orderitemuid}, 0] }, 0] },
then: { 'ordcat._id': { '$eq': { '$oid': $P{ordercatuid} } } },
},
{
case: { $eq: [{ $IfNull: [$P{ordercatuid}, 0] }, 0] },
then: { '_id': { '$eq': { '$oid': $P{orderitemuid} } } },
},
],
default: {
$expr: {
$and: [
{ $eq: ['_id', { '$oid': $P{orderitemuid} }] },
{ $eq: ['ordcat_id', { '$oid': $P{ordercatuid} }] },
],
},
},
},
},
}
Thank you in advance
As mentioned in the $match docs
$match takes a document that specifies the query conditions. The query syntax is identical to the read operation query syntax; i.e. $match does not accept raw aggregation expressions. ...
And $switch is an aggregation expressions. this means it cannot be used in a $match stage without being wrapped with $expr.
You can however wrap it with $expr, this will also require you to restructure the return values a little bit, like so:
db.collection.aggregate([
{
$match: {
$expr: {
$switch: {
branches: [
{
case: {
$eq: [
{
$ifNull: [
$P{orderitemuid},
0
]
},
0
]
},
then: {
$eq: [
"$ordcat._id",
{"$oid":$P{ordercatuid}}
]
}
},
{
case: {
$eq: [
{
"$ifNull": [
$P{ordercatuid},
0
]
},
0
]
},
then: {
$eq: [
"$_id",
{"$oid":$P{orderitemuid}}
]
}
}
],
default: {
$and: [
{
$eq: [
"$_id",
{"$oid": $P{orderitemuid} }
]
},
{
$eq: [
"$ordcat_id",
{"$oid": $P{ordercatuid}}
]
}
]
}
}
}
}
}
])
Mongo Playground
I have a collection and its documents look like:
{
_id: ObjectId('111111111122222222223333'),
my_array: [
{
id: ObjectId('777777777788888888889999')
name: 'foo'
},
{
id: ObjectId('77777777778888888888555')
name: 'foo2'
}
//...
]
//more attributes
}
However, some documents have my_array: [{}] (with one element which is an empty array).
How can I add conditionally a projection or remove it?
I have to add it to a mongo pipeline at the end of the query, and I want to get my_array only when it has at least one element which is not an empty object. If there's an empty object remove it.
I tried with $cond and $eq in a projection stage but it is not supported. Any suggestion to solve this?
Suppose you have documents like this with my_array field:
{ "my_array" : [ ] }
{ "my_array" : [ { "a" : 1 } ] } // #(1)
{ "my_array" : null }
{ "some_fld" : "some value" }
{ "my_array" : [ { } ] }
{ "my_array" : [ { "a" : 2 }, { "a" : 3 } ] } // #(2)
And, the following aggregation will filter and the result will have the two documents (1) and (2):
db.collection.aggregate([
{
$match: {
$expr: {
$and: [
{ $eq: [ { $type: "$my_array" }, "array" ] },
{ $gt: [ { $size: "$my_array" }, 0 ] },
{ $ne: [ [{}], "$my_array" ] }
]
}
}
}
])
This also works with a find method:
db.collection.find({
$expr: {
$and: [
{ $eq: [ { $type: "$my_array" }, "array" ] },
{ $gt: [ { $size: "$my_array" }, 0 ] },
{ $ne: [ [{}], "$my_array" ] }
]
}
})
To remove the my_array field, from a document when its empty, then you try this aggregation:
db.collection.aggregate([
{
$addFields: {
my_array: {
$cond: [
{$and: [
{ $eq: [ { $type: "$my_array" }, "array" ] },
{ $gt: [ { $size: "$my_array" }, 0 ] },
{ $ne: [ [{}], "$my_array" ] }
]},
"$my_array",
"$$REMOVE"
]
}
}
}
])
The result:
{ }
{ "my_array" : [ { "a" : 1 } ] }
{ }
{ "a" : 1 }
{ }
{ "my_array" : [ { "a" : 2 }, { "a" : 3 } ] }
You can't do that in a query, however in an aggregations you can add $filter to you pipeline, like so:
db.collection.aggregate([
{
$project: {
my_array: {
$filter: {
input: "$my_array",
as: "elem",
cond: {
$ne: [
{},
"$$elem"
]
}
}
}
}
}
])
Mongo Playground
However unless this is "correct" behavior I suggest you clean up your database, it's much simpler to maintain "proper" structure than to update all your queries everywhere.
You can use this update to remove these objects:
db.collection.update({
"myarray": {}
},
[
{
"$set": {
"my_array": {
$filter: {
input: "$my_array",
as: "elem",
cond: {
$ne: [
{},
"$$elem"
]
}
}
}
}
},
],
{
"multi": false,
"upsert": false
})
Mongo Playground
I want to add the values of $site to a variable if site!= 'undefined', else I have to skip that document and move on to the next.
I used
{$addToSet: { $cond: { if: { $ne: [ "$site", 'undefined' ] }, then: "$site"}}}
But it returns "Missing 'else' parameter to $cond"
and if I add an else statement
1) {$addToSet: { $cond: { if: { $ne: [ "$site", 'undefined' ] }, then: "$site", else: {} }}}
it returns the value to the addset {Object Object}
2) {$addToSet: { $cond: { if: { $ne: [ "$site", 'undefined' ] }, then: "$site", else: null }}}
it returns null to the set like ["sample1", "sample2", ]
3) {$addToSet: { $cond: { if: { $ne: [ "$site", 'undefined' ] }, then: "$site", else: "" }}}
it returns null to the set like ["sample1", "sample2", "" ]
I don't want anything to be added to the set if it does not satisfy the condition.
Starting in MongoDB 3.6, you can use the $$REMOVE variable as the ELSE argument of a $cond operator to prevent anything from being added to the set if the condition fails.
See here for an example from Mongo Docs.
In your case, we can get it done with,
{
$group: {
//_id: <group-by-expression>
// other fields (if any)..
sites: {
$addToSet: {
$cond: {
if: { $ne: ["$site", 'undefined'] },
then: "$site",
else: "$$REMOVE"
}
}
}
}
}
OR
{
$group: {
//_id: <group-by-expression>
// other fields (if any)..
sites: {
$addToSet: {
$cond: [
{ $ne: ["$site", 'undefined'] },
"$site",
"$$REMOVE"
]
}
}
}
}
You can add null on else brach(I used the simpliefied cond see here):
{
$group: {
_id: null,
A: {
$addToSet: {
$cond: [{ $ne: ["$site", 'undefined'] }, "$site", null]
}
}
}
}
and then:
{
"$project": {
"A": {
"$setDifferrence": ["$A", [null]]
},
}
}
In a project step of a mongo aggregation, I'd like to create a boolean field like:
{
$project: {
isInArray: { $cond: [
{ $in: ['$_id', ids] },
{ $const: true },
{ $const: false },
] },
},
},
but this is failing with
invalid operator $in
I could not find documentation on the correct syntax
You can use $setIsSubset operator
db.people.aggregate([
{ $project: {
isInArray: { $cond: [ {$setIsSubset: [['$_id'], ids]}, true, false ] }
}}
])
