How to count embedded array object elements in mongoDB - mongodb

Question

{
"orderNo": "123",
"bags": [{
"type": "small",
"products": [{
"id": "1",
"name": "ABC",
"returnable": true
}, {
"id": "2",
"name": "XYZ"
}
]
},{
"type": "big",
"products": [{
"id": "3",
"name": "PQR",
"returnable": true
}, {
"id": "4",
"name": "UVW"
}
]
}
]
}
I have orders collection where documents are in this format. I want to get a total count of products which has the returnable flag. e.g: for the above order the count should be 2. I am very new to MongoDB wanted to know how to write a query to find this out, I have tried few things but did not help:
this is what I tried but not worked:
db.orders.aggregate([
{ "$unwind": "$bags" },
{ "$unwind": "$bags.products" },
{ "$unwind": "$bags.products.returnable" },
{ "$group": {
"_id": "$bags.products.returnable",
"count": { "$sum": 1 }
}}
])

For inner array you can use $filter to check returnable flag and $size to get number of such items. For the outer one you can take advantage of $reduce to sum the values from inner arrays:
db.collection.aggregate([
{
$project: {
totalReturnable: {
$reduce: {
input: "$bags",
initialValue: 0,
in: {
$add: [
"$$value",
{
$size: {
$filter: {
input: "$$this.products",
as: "prod",
cond: {
$eq: [ "$$prod.returnable", true ]
}
}
}
]
}
}
}
}
}
}
])
