I have two collections, viz: clib and mp.
The schema for clib is : {name: String, type: Number} and that for mp is: {clibId: String}.
Sample Document for clib:
{_id: ObjectId("6178008397be0747443a2a92"), name: "c1", type: 1}
{_id: ObjectId("6178008397be0747443a2a91"), name: "c2", type: 0}
Sample Document for mp:
{clibId: "6178008397be0747443a2a92"}
{clibId:"6178008397be0747443a2a91"}
While Querying mp, I want those clibId's that have type = 0 in clib collection.
Any ideas how this can be achieved?
One approach that I can think of was to use $lookUp, but that doesnt seem to be working. Also, I m not sure if this is anti-pattern for mongodb, another approach is to copy the type from clib to mp while saving mp document.
If I've understood correctly you can use a pipeline like this:
This query get the values from clib where its _id is the same as clibId and also has type = 0. Also I've added a $match stage to not output values where there is not any coincidence.
db.mp.aggregate([
{
"$lookup": {
"from": "clib",
"let": {
"id": "$clibId"
},
"pipeline": [
{
"$match": {
"$expr": {
"$and": [
{
"$eq": [
{
"$toObjectId": "$$id"
},
"$_id"
]
},
{
"$eq": [
"$type",
0
]
}
]
}
}
}
],
"as": "result"
}
},
{
"$match": {
"result": {
"$ne": []
}
}
}
])
Example here
db.mp.aggregate([
{
$lookup: {
from: "clib",
let: {
clibId: "$clibId"
},
pipeline: [
{
$match: {
$expr: {
$and: [
{
$eq: [ "$_id", "$$clibId" ],
}
]
}
}
},
{
$project: { type: 1, _id: 0 }
}
],
as: "clib"
}
},
{
"$unwind": "$clib"
},
{
"$match": {
"clib.type": 0
}
}
])

In below example, looking for new partner suggestions for user abc. abc has already sent a request to 123 so that can be ignored. rrr has sent request to abc but rrr is in the fromUser field so rrr is still a valid row to be shown as suggestion to abc
I have two collections:
User collection
[
{
_id: "abc",
name: "abc",
group: 1
},
{
_id: "xyz",
name: "xyyy",
group: 1
},
{
_id: "123",
name: "yyy",
group: 1
},
{
_id: "rrr",
name: "tttt",
group: 1
},
{
_id: "eee",
name: "uuu",
group: 1
}
]
Partnership collection (if users have already partnered)
[
{
_id: "abc_123",
fromUser: "abc",
toUser: "123"
},
{
_id: "rrr_abc",
fromUser: "rrr",
toUser: "abc"
},
{
_id: "xyz_rrr",
fromUser: "xyz",
toUser: "rrr"
}
]
My query below excludes the user rrr but it should not because its not listed in toUser field in the partnership collection corresponding to the user abc.
How to modify this query to include user rrr in this case?
db.users.aggregate([
{
$match: {
group: 1,
_id: {
$ne: "abc"
}
}
},
{
$lookup: {
from: "partnership",
let: {
userId: "$_id"
},
as: "prob",
pipeline: [
{
$set: {
users: [
"$fromUser",
"$toUser"
],
u: "$$userId"
}
},
{
$match: {
$expr: {
$and: [
{
$in: [
"$$userId",
"$users"
]
},
{
$in: [
"abc",
"$users"
]
}
]
}
}
}
]
}
},
{
$match: {
"prob.0": {
$exists: false
}
}
},
{
$sample: {
size: 1
}
},
{
$unset: "prob"
}
])

Your current query does not allow creating an existing connection regardless of the connection direction. If the order of the connection is important use:
db.users.aggregate([
{$match: {
group: 1,
_id: {$ne: "abc"}
}
},
{$lookup: {
from: "partnership",
let: { userId: {$concat: ["abc", "_", "$_id"]}},
as: "prob",
pipeline: [{$match: {$expr: {$eq: ["$_id", "$$userId"]}}}]
}
},
{$match: {"prob.0": {$exists: false}}},
{$sample: {size: 1}},
{$unset: "prob"}
])
See how it works on the playground example
For MongoDB 5 and later, I'd propose the following aggregation pipeline:
db.users.aggregate([
{
$match: {
group: 1,
_id: {
$ne: "abc"
}
}
},
{
$lookup: {
from: "partnership",
as: "prob",
localField: "_id",
foreignField: "toUser",
pipeline: [
{
$match: {
fromUser: "abc",
}
}
]
}
},
{
$match: {
"prob.0": {
$exists: false
}
}
},
{
$unset: "prob"
}
])
The following documents are returned (full result without the $sample stage):
[
{
"_id": "eee",
"group": 1,
"name": "uuu"
},
{
"_id": "rrr",
"group": 1,
"name": "tttt"
},
{
"_id": "xyz",
"group": 1,
"name": "xyyy"
}
]
The main difference is that the lookup connects the collections by the toUser field (see localField, foreignField) and uses a minimal pipeline to restrict the results further to only retrieve the requests from the current user document to "abc".
See this playground to test.
When using MongoDB < 5, you cannot use localField and foreignField to run the pipeline only on a subset of the documents in the * from*
collection. To overcome this, you can use this aggregation pipeline:
db.users.aggregate([
{
$match: {
group: 1,
_id: {
$ne: "abc"
}
}
},
{
$lookup: {
from: "partnership",
as: "prob",
let: {
userId: "$_id"
},
pipeline: [
{
$match: {
$expr: {
$and: [
{
$eq: [
"$fromUser",
"abc"
]
},
{
$eq: [
"$toUser",
"$$userId"
]
}
]
}
}
}
]
}
},
{
$match: {
"prob.0": {
$exists: false
}
}
},
{
$unset: "prob"
}
])
The results are the same as for the upper pipeline.
See this playground to test.
For another, another way, this query starts from the partnership collection, finds which users to exclude, and then does a "$lookup" for everybody else. The remainder is just output formatting, although it looks like you may want to add a "$sample" stage at the end.
db.partnership.aggregate([
{
"$match": {
"fromUser": "abc"
}
},
{
"$group": {
"_id": null,
"exclude": {"$push": "$toUser" }
}
},
{
"$lookup": {
"from": "users",
"let": {
"exclude": {"$concatArrays": [["abc"], "$exclude"]
}
},
"pipeline": [
{
"$match": {
"$expr": {
"$not": {"$in": ["$_id", "$$exclude"]}
}
}
}
],
"as": "output"
}
},
{
"$project": {
"_id": 0,
"output": 1
}
},
{"$unwind": "$output"},
{"$replaceWith": "$output"}
])

I have two collections in MongoDB, items and categories.
items is
{
_id: "some_id",
category_A: "foo",
category_B: "bar",
}
and categories is
{
_id: "foo_id",
name: "foo",
type: "A"
},
{
_id: "bar_id",
name: "bar",
type: "B"
}
I'm trying to use a pipeline to get foo_id and bar_id by using $lookup, but I don't understand why the category_A_out array always returns empty.
Here is the relevant step of the pipeline for category_A:
{
from: 'categories',
"let": {
"category": "$name",
"type": "$type"
},
"pipeline": [{
"$match": {
$expr: {
$and: [
{ $eq: ["$category_A", "$$category"] },
{ $eq: ["$$type", "A"] }
]
}
}
}],
as: 'category_A_out'
}
I am sure that foo and bar exist in the categories collection.
What am I doing wrong?
let should use for declaring the variable for LEFT collection which is items.
If category_A holds the categories' name, you need match with name.
Else match with _id.
db.items.aggregate([
{
$lookup: {
from: "categories",
"let": {
"category_A": "$category_A"
},
"pipeline": [
{
"$match": {
$expr: {
$and: [
{
$eq: [
"$name", // Or Match with $_id if category_A holds id
"$$category_A"
]
},
{
$eq: [
"$type",
"A"
]
}
]
}
}
}
],
as: "category_A_out"
}
}
])
Sample Mongo Playground
I have a class model which has field ref.
I'm trying to fetch only records that match the condition in lookup.
so what i did:
{
$lookup: {
from: 'fields',
localField: "field",
foreignField: "_id",
as: 'FieldCollege',
},
},
{
$addFields: {
"FieldCollege": {
$arrayElemAt: [
{
$filter: {
input: "$FieldCollege",
as: "field",
cond: {
$eq: ["$$field.level", req.query.level]
}
}
}, 0
]
}
}
},
The above code works fine and returning the FieldCollege if the cond is matched.
but the thing is, i wanted to return the class records only if the FieldCollege is not empty.
I'm totally new to mongodb. so i tried something like this:
{
$match: {
'FieldCollege': { $exists: true, $ne: [] }
}
},
Obv this didn't work.
does mongodb support something like this or am i complicating things?
EDIT:
the result from the above code:
"Classes": [
{
"_id": "613245664c6ea614e001fcef",
"name": "test",
"language": "en",
"year_cost": "3232323",
"FieldCollege":[] // with $unwind
}
],
expected Result:
"Classes": [
// FieldCollege is empty
],
I think the good option is to use lookup with pipeline, and see the final version of your query,
$lookup with fields collection and match your both conditions
$limit to result one document
$match FieldCollege is not empty []
$addElemAt to get first element from result FieldCollege
[
{
$lookup: {
from: "fields",
let: { field: "$field" },
pipeline: [
{
$match: {
$and: [
{ $expr: { $eq: ["$$field", "$_id"] } },
{ level: req.query.level }
]
}
},
{ $limit: 1 }
],
as: "FieldCollege"
}
},
{ $match: { FieldCollege: { $ne: [] } } },
{
$addFields: {
FieldCollege: { $arrayElemAt: ["$FieldCollege", 0] }
}
}
]
As part of an aggregate I need to run this transformation:
let inheritances = await db.collection('inheritance').aggregate([
{ $match: { status: 1 }}, // inheritance active
{ $project: { "_id":1, "name": 1, "time_trigger": 1, "signers": 1, "tree": 1, "creatorId": 1, "redeem": 1, "p2sh": 1 } },
{ $lookup:
{
from: "user",
let: { creatorId: { $concat: [ "secretkey", { $toString: "$creatorId" } ] }, time_trigger: "$time_trigger"},
pipeline: [
{ $match:
{ $expr:
{ $and:
[
{ $eq: [ "$_id", sha256( { $toString: "$$creatorId" } ) ] },
{ $gt: [ new Date(), { $add: [ { $multiply: [ "$$time_trigger", 24*60*60*1000 ] }, "$last_access" ] } ] },
]
}
}
},
],
as: "user"
},
},
{ $unwind: "$user" }
]).toArray()
creatorId comes from a lookup, and in order to compare it to _id I first need to do a sha256.
How can I do it?
Thanks.
External functions will not work with the aggregation framework. Everything is parsed to BSON by default. It is all basically processed from BSON operators to native C++ code implementation, This is by design for performance.
Basically in short, you can't do this. I recommend just storing the hashed value on every document as a new field, otherwise you'll have to do it in code just before the pipeline.
I want to get the subdocuments from another collection using $lookup but it doesn't work. Currently brain dead...
I have a collection for Transactions
example transaction
{
type: 'PURCHASE', // but it can be something else also eg ORDER
reference: '11', // String
amount: 50,
date: 2018-07-18T10:00:00.000Z
}
I have a collection for Purchases
{
code: 11 // Integer
name: 'Product X',
amount: 50
}
My aggregation is the following
Purchase.aggregate([
{
$lookup:
{
from: "transactions",
let: { code: '$code' },
pipeline: [
{
},
{
$match: { $expr:
{ $and:
[
{ $eq: [ "$reference", "$$code" ] },
{ $eq: [ "$type", "PURCHASE" ] }
]
}
}
}
],
as: "transactions",
}
}
]);
The result is an empty tarnsactions array...
You can try below aggregation in mongodb 3.6. Just change code type from integer to string using $toLower aggregation or can use $toString in mongodb 4.0
Purchase.aggregate([
{ "$lookup": {
"from": "transactions",
"let": { "code": { "$toLower": "$code" } },
"pipeline": [
{ "$match": {
"$expr": { "$eq": [ "$reference", "$$code" ] },
"type": "PURCHASE"
}}
],
"as": "transactions"
}}
])
