$switch inside a $match MONGODB - mongodb

Question

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}}
]
}
]
}
}
}
}
}
])
