MongoDB - Aggregate (join two collection) with nested array as join key - mongodb

Question

I have two collections. (updated)
I need to join them and return only a few fields.
As I understand, I should use aggregate and projection features.
I try to find examples, but can't find the right, in my case foreign key is placed in the array in the nested field.
It is not easy for me, I’m new at this, and I couldn’t win against this MongoDB query.
In the code block below I wrote the simplified equivalent models (doc1, doc2) and expected results.
Does anyone have any ideas?
db.doc1.deleteMany({});
db.doc2.deleteMany({});
// tow related documents
db.doc1.insert( [
{
"version" : 123456,
"doc" : {
"code":"A1",
"name":"some document A1",
"doc2CodeArray":[
{"code":"B01"},
{"code":"B02"},
{"code":"B03"},
{"code":"B04"},
{"code":"B05"},
{"code":"B06"}
]
}
},
{
"version" : 123457,
"doc" : {
"code":"A2",
"name":"some document A2",
"doc2CodeArray":[
{"code":"B07"},
{"code":"B08"},
{"code":"B09"},
{"code":"B10"},
{"code":"B11"},
{"code":"B12"}
]
}
},
{
"version" : 123457,
"doc" : {
"code":"A2",
"name":"some document A2",
"doc2CodeArray":null
}
}
]);
db.doc2.insert( [
{
"version" : 567890,
"doc" : {
"code":"B01",
"valueArray":[{"valueType":"int","valueData":"1"}],
"doc2Type":{"code":"C1"}
}
},
{"version" : 567890,"doc" : { "code":"B02", "valueArray":[{"valueType":"int","valueData":"2","isDefault":false}],"doc2Type":{"code":"C2","addInfo":"1234567890"}}},
{"version" : 567890,"doc" : { "code":"B03", "valueArray":[{"valueType":"int","valueData":"3","isDefault":false}],"doc2Type":{"code":"C3","addInfo":"1234567890"}}},
{"version" : 567890,"doc" : { "code":"B04", "valueArray":[{"valueType":"int","valueData":"4","isDefault":false}],"doc2Type":{"code":"C4","addInfo":"1234567890"}}},
{"version" : 567890,"doc" : { "code":"B05", "valueArray":[{"valueType":"int","valueData":"5","isDefault":false}],"doc2Type":{"code":"C5","addInfo":"1234567890"}}},
{"version" : 567890,"doc" : { "code":"B06", "valueArray":[{"valueType":"int","valueData":"6","isDefault":false},
{"valueType":"str","valueData":"F","isDefault":false}],"doc2Type":{"code":"C6","addInfo":"1234567890"}}},
{"version" : 567890,"doc" : { "code":"B07", "valueArray":[{"valueType":"int","valueData":"1","isDefault":false}],"doc2Type":{"code":"C1","addInfo":"1234567890"}}},
{"version" : 567890,"doc" : { "code":"B08", "valueArray":[{"valueType":"int","valueData":"2","isDefault":false}],"doc2Type":{"code":"C2","addInfo":"1234567890"}}},
{"version" : 567890,"doc" : { "code":"B09", "valueArray":[{"valueType":"int","valueData":"3","isDefault":false}],"doc2Type":{"code":"C3","addInfo":"1234567890"}}},
{"version" : 567890,"doc" : { "code":"B10", "valueArray":[{"valueType":"int","valueData":"4","isDefault":false}],"doc2Type":{"code":"C4","addInfo":"1234567890"}}},
{"version" : 567890,"doc" : { "code":"B11", "valueArray":[{"valueType":"int","valueData":"5","isDefault":false}],"doc2Type":{"code":"C5","addInfo":"1234567890"}}},
{"version" : 567890,"doc" : { "code":"B12", "valueArray":[{"valueType":"int","valueData":"6","isDefault":false}],"doc2Type":{"code":"C6","addInfo":"1234567890"}}},
]);
The result that I want
I need join collections and select only few props
{
"doc":{code:"A1"},
"doc2Items":[
{"code":"C2", "value":{"value":"3"}},
{"code":"C3", "value":{"value":"4"}},
]
},
{
"doc":{code:"A2"},
"doc2Items":[
{"code":"C2", "value":{"value":"2"}},
{"code":"C3", "value":{"value":"3"}},
{"code":"C4", "value":{"value":"4"}},
]
}

db.doc1.aggregate([
{
$lookup: {
from: "doc2",
localField: "doc.doc2CodeArray.code",
foreignField: "doc.code",
as: "doc.doc2Items"
}
},
{
$replaceRoot: {
newRoot: "$doc"
}
},
{
$addFields: {
"doc2Items": {
$map: {
input: "$doc2Items",
in: {
doc2TypeCode: "$$this.doc.doc2Type.code",
doc2ValueArray: "$$this.doc.valueArray"
}
}
}
}
},
{
$unset: [
"doc2CodeArray"
]
}
])

Answer 2

$lookup - Join doc1 with doc2.
Pipeline:
1.1. $match - Matching doc.code (from doc2) is within the doc.doc2CodeArray.code array (from doc1).
1.2. $project - Decorate output document to be returned in doc2Items.
$project - Decorate output document.
db.doc1.aggregate([
{
$lookup: {
from: "doc2",
let: {
doc2CodeArray: "$doc.doc2CodeArray.code"
},
pipeline: [
{
$match: {
$expr: {
$in: [
"$doc.code",
"$$doc2CodeArray"
]
}
}
},
{
$project: {
_id: 0,
"doc2TypeCode": "$doc.doc2Type.code",
"doc2ValueArray": "$doc.valueArray"
}
}
],
as: "doc2Items"
}
},
{
$project: {
_id: 0,
"doc1Code": "$doc.code",
"doc1Name": "$doc.name",
"doc2Items": "$doc2Items"
}
}
])

Answer 3

Last few days I deep dived to reading.
And I have got an accepted result.
I updated my question with example of more relevan data and I has given the my solution in the example below.
db.doc1.aggregate([
{
$match: {
// filter by doc.code preffix
"doc.code": { '$regex': 'A', '$options': 'i' }, "doc.doc2CodeArray": { $ne: null }
//"doc.code": "A1"
}
},
{
$lookup: { // join doc1 & doc2
from: "doc2",
localField: "doc.doc2CodeArray.code",
foreignField: "doc.code",
as: "doc2Items"
}
},
{
$project: {
_id: 0,
"doc.code": 1,
"doc2Items": { // items from doc2
$map: { // I need not all props from doc2 - do $map
"input": {
$filter: { // I need items only with 3 codes C2, C3, C4 - do $filter
"input": "$doc2Items",
"as": "d0",
"cond": { $or:[
{ "$eq": ["$$d0.doc.doc2Type.code", "C2"] },
{ "$eq": ["$$d0.doc.doc2Type.code", "C3"] },
{ "$eq": ["$$d0.doc.doc2Type.code", "C4"] },
]}
},
},
"as": "d",
"in": {
"code": "$$d.doc.doc2Type.code",
"value": {
$arrayElemAt: [ // I need only first record of nested array
{
$map: { // I need not all props of first record of nested array
"input": "$$d.doc.valueArray",
"as": "d2",
"in": {
"value": "$$d2.valueData"
}
}
}
, 0]
},
}
}// map
}
}// project
}
])
Now I read the needed data two time faster then before.
I think I began to understand mongo db query philosophy.
Thank everyone for the answers and tips! 'Yong Shun' and 'qtxo' helped me find the correct solution.
