how to project field in array with mongodb - mongodb

my collection in mongo db like this:
{
name:"mehdi",
grades:
[
{
a:1,
b:[2,3,4],
c:3,
d:4,
e:5
},
{
a:11,
b:[22,33,44],
c:33,
d:44,
e:55
}
]
}
I want to get a result with project op to give me a specific field in an array like this:
{
name:"mehdi",
grades:
[
{
a:1,
b:2
},
{
a:11,
b:22
}
]
}
how can I do this?

You can use $map to select a,b fields using $type to determine whether it's an array or number:
db.collection.aggregate([
{
$project: {
grades: {
$map: {
input: "$grades",
in: {
a: { $cond: [ { $eq: [ { $type: "$$this.a" }, "array" ] }, { $arrayElemAt: [ "$$this.a", 0 ] }, "$$this.a" ] },
b: { $cond: [ { $eq: [ { $type: "$$this.b" }, "array" ] }, { $arrayElemAt: [ "$$this.b", 0 ] }, "$$this.b" ] },
}
}
}
}
}
])

Update or Insert object in array in MongoDB

I have the following collection
{
"_id" : ObjectId("57315ba4846dd82425ca2408"),
"myarray" : [
{
userId : "8bc32153-2bea-4dd5-8487-3b65e3aa0869",
Time:2022-09-20T04:44:46.000+00:00,
point : 5
},
{
userId : "5020db46-3b99-4c2d-8637-921d6abe8b26",
Time:2022-09-20T04:44:49.000+00:00
point : 2
},
]
}
These are my questions
I want to push into myarray if userId doesn’t exist, and if userid already exists then update time and point also I have to keep only 5 elements in the array if 6th element comes then I a have to sort the array based on Time and remove oldest time entry
what is the best way to do this in mongo using aggregation
FYI we are using Mongo 4.4
You can achieve this by using the aggregation pipeline update syntax, the strategy will be first to update the array (or insert a new element to it).
then if the size exceeds 5 we just filter it based on minimum value. like so:
const userObj = {point: 5, userId: "12345"};
db.collection.updateOne(
{ ...updateCondition },
[
{
$set: {
myarray: {
$cond: [
{
$in: [
userObj.userId,
{$ifNull: ["$myarray.userId", []]}
]
},
{
$map: {
input: "$myarray",
in: {
$cond: [
{
$eq: [
"$$this.userId",
userObj.userId
]
},
{
$mergeObjects: [
"$$this",
{
Time: "$$NOW", // i used "now" time but you can swap this to your input
point: userObj.point
}
]
},
"$$this"
]
}
}
},
{
$concatArrays: [
{ $ifNull: ["$myarray", []] },
[
{
userId: userObj.userId,
point: userObj.point,
Time: "$$NOW"
}
]
]
}
]
}
}
},
{
$set: {
myarray: {
$cond: [
{
$gt: [
{
$size: "$myarray"
},
5
]
},
{
$filter: {
input: "$myarray",
cond: {
$ne: [
"$$this.Time",
{
$min: "$myarray.Time"
}
]
}
}
},
"$myarray"
]
}
}
}
])

Can't access sub array fields in $map

I have an object like so
{
"_id": "62334a3c86f03ce0985f11a1",
"stops": [
{
"location": {
"baseLocation": "622e29bd0a56c69f81e0e6e9",
"extraLocation": "622e29bd0a56c69f81e0e6eb"
},
"timesData": [
{
"wType": "date"
}
],
},
{
"location": {
"baseLocation": "622e70a59975be022276178c",
"extraLocation": "622e70a59975be022276178e"
},
"timesData": [
{
"wType": "date"
}
],
}
},
],
}
I need to find the index of objects that have a baseLocation equal to a value and which have a wType of date and I do so using a $map like the one below
{
$map: {
input: "$stops",
in: {
$and: [
{
$eq: ["$$this.location.baseLocation", mongoose.Types.ObjectId(from.id)]
},
{
$eq: ["$$this.timesData.0.wType", "date"]
}
]
}
}
},
I get no matches, but if I do it like this
{
$map: {
input: "$stops",
in: {
$eq: ["$$this.location.baseLocation", mongoose.Types.ObjectId(from.id)]
}
}
},
It works, so I guess the problem is that I can't access "$$this.timesData.0.wType"
How about using $arrayElemAt:
$map: {
input: "$stops",
in: {
$and: [
{
$eq: [
"$$this.location.baseLocation",
mongoose.Types.ObjectId(from.id)]
]
},
{
$eq: [
{
"$arrayElemAt": [
"$$this.timesData",
0
]
},
{
"wType": "date"
}
]
}
]
}
}
}
}

$switch inside a $match MONGODB

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

How to remove field conditionally mongoodb

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
})

in mongo how to match a field that is not list of empty elements?

I have field x which can be [[], [], ...] or ["", "", ....] I want to filter them out and keeps the document at least have 1 non-empty list or 1 non-empty string. for example [[], [1,2], [], ...]
This is an aggregation query which filters out collection documents with the array field x, having elements with all empty strings or all empty arrays.
db.collection.aggregate([
{
$addFields: {
filtered: {
$filter: {
input: "$x",
as: "e",
cond: {
$or: [
{ $and: [
{ $eq: [ { "$type": "$$e" }, "array" ] },
{ $gt: [ { $size: "$$e" }, 0 ] }
] },
{ $and: [
{ $eq: [ { "$type": "$$e" }, "string" ] },
{ $gt: [ { $strLenCP: "$$e" }, 0 ] }
] }
]
}
}
}
}
},
{
$match: {
$expr: { $gt: [ { $size: "$filtered" }, 0 ] }
}
},
{
$project: { filtered: 0 }
}
])
Reference: Various aggregation operators ($size, $type, $strLenCP, etc.) used.
