How to deselect one object in array MongoDB? [duplicate] - mongodb

This question already has answers here:
Retrieve only the queried element in an object array in MongoDB collection
(18 answers)
Closed 3 years ago.
In my situation I just need my result but without my objectID in my array.
This is my method :
return Room.findOne(
{
_id: idRoom,
participants: {$elemMatch: {$ne: this.currentUser.profile}},
},
{
'participants.$': 1,
}
)
With elementMatch, the problem is when you found the object, only the first object is returned.
This is my result :
"result": {
"_id": "5da5e77f51e08708b79565e8",
"participants": [
"5da4d5b40cc94f04a7aaad40"
],
And this is the real result I need
"result": {
"_id": "5da5e77f51e08708b79565e8",
"participants": [
"5da4d5b40cc94f04a7aaad40"
"fwnert9248yrhnqwid13982r" // I have another participants
],
And my model is just like this :
const RoomSchema = new Schema({
participants: [{type: Schema.Types.ObjectId,ref: 'Profile'}],
...
}, options)
For others reasons, I can't use aggregate, thank you if you have the solution

So I think you are trying to shape a resultset in mongo with the findOne() method, and any use of the aggregation pipeline framework is out of the question and unavailable for other reasons.
I am not sure this is possible. I believe you will need to perform multiple steps to achieve your desired results. If you can use aggregation pipeline framework here is a pipeline to suit the desired results (I believe)...
db.Room.aggregate(
[
{
"$match": { _id: ObjectId(idRoom)}
},
{
$project: {
"participants": {
$filter: {
input: "$participants",
as: "participant",
cond: {$ne: ["$$participant", this.currentUser.profile] }
}
}
}
}
]
)
...but if you cannot use aggregation pipeline then here is a mongoshell script that accomplishes the task in several steps. The strategy is to capture the whole document by _id then remove the data element from the array then echo the results...
var document = db.Room.findOne( { _id: ObjectId("5da64a62cd63abf99d11f210") } );
document.participants.splice(document.participants.indexOf("5da4d5b40cc94f04a7aaad40"), 1);
document;

Can't remove object in array using Mongoose

This has been extensively covered here, but none of the solutions seems to be working for me. I'm attempting to remove an object from an array using that object's id. Currently, my Schema is:
const scheduleSchema = new Schema({
//unrelated
_id: ObjectId
shifts: [
{
_id: Types.ObjectId,
name: String,
shift_start: Date,
shift_end: Date,
},
],
});
I've tried almost every variation of something like this:
.findOneAndUpdate(
{ _id: req.params.id },
{
$pull: {
shifts: { _id: new Types.ObjectId(req.params.id) },
},
}
);
Database:
Database Format
Within these variations, the usual response I've gotten has been either an empty array or null.
I was able slightly find a way around this and accomplish the deletion by utilizing the main _id of the Schema (instead of the nested one:
.findOneAndUpdate(
{ _id: <main _id> },
{ $pull: { shifts: { _id: new Types.ObjectId(<nested _id>) } } },
{ new: true }
);
But I was hoping to figure out a way to do this by just using the nested _id. Any suggestions?
The problem you are having currently is you are using the same _id.
Using mongo, update method allows three objects: query, update and options.
query object is the object into collection which will be updated.
update is the action to do into the object (add, change value...).
options different options to add.
Then, assuming you have this collection:
[
{
"_id": 1,
"shifts": [
{
"_id": 2
},
{
"_id": 3
}
]
}
]
If you try to look for a document which _id is 2, obviously response will be empty (example).
Then, if none document has been found, none document will be updated.
What happens if we look for a document using shifts._id:2?
This tells mongo "search a document where shifts field has an object with _id equals to 2". This query works ok (example) but be careful, this returns the WHOLE document, not only the array which match the _id.
This not return:
[
{
"_id": 1,
"shifts": [
{
"_id": 2
}
]
}
]
Using this query mongo returns the ENTIRE document where exists a field called shifts that contains an object with an _id with value 2. This also include the whole array.
So, with tat, you know why find object works. Now adding this to an update query you can create the query:
This one to remove all shifts._id which are equal to 2.
db.collection.update({
"shifts._id": 2
},
{
$pull: {
shifts: {
_id: 2
}
}
})
Example
Or this one to remove shifts._id if parent _id is equal to 1
db.collection.update({
"_id": 1
},
{
$pull: {
shifts: {
_id: 2
}
}
})

MongoDB: Add field to all objects in array, based on other fields on same object?

I am fairly new to MongoDB and cant seem to find a solution to this problem.
I have a database of documents that has this structure:
{
id: 1
elements: [ {elementId: 1, nr1: 1, nr2: 3}, {elementId:2, nr1:5, nr2: 10} ]
}
I am looking for a query that can add a value nr3 which is for example nr2/nr1 to all the objects in the elements array, so that the resulting document would look like this:
{
id: 1
elements: [ {elementId: 1, nr1: 1, nr2: 3, nr3:3}, {elementId:2, nr1:5, nr2: 10, nr3: 2} ]
}
So I imagine a query along the lines of this:
db.collection.updateOne({id:1}, {$set:{"elements.$[].nr3": nr2/nr1}})
But I cant find how to get the value of nr2 and nr1 of the same object in the array.
I found some similar questions on stackoverflow stating this is not possible, but they were 5+ years old, so I thought maybe they have added support for something like this.
I realize I can achieve this with first querying the document and iterate over the elements-array doing updates along the way, but for the purpose of learning I would love to see if its possible to do this in one query.
You can use update with aggregation pipeline starting from MongoDB v4.2,
$map to iterate loop of elements
divide nr2 with nr1 using $divide
merge current object and new field nr3 using $mergeObjects
db.collection.updateOne(
{ id: 1 },
[{
$set: {
elements: {
$map: {
input: "$elements",
in: {
$mergeObjects: [
"$$this",
{ nr3: { $divide: ["$$this.nr2", "$$this.nr1"] } }
]
}
}
}
}
}]
)
Playground
db.collection.update(
{ id:1},
{ "$set": { "elements.$[elem].nr3":elements.$[elem].nr2/elements.$[elem].nr1} },
{ "multi": true }
);
I guess this should work

Mongoose how to use positional operator to pull from double nested array with specific condition, and return new result

Suppose I have the following schema:
{
_id: ObjectId(1),
title: string,
answers: [
{
_id: ObjectId(2),
text: string,
upVotes: [
{
_id: ObjectId(3),
userId: ObjectId(4)
}
]
}
]
}
What I want is pull vote of a specific user from answer upvotes, and return the new update result.
For example, find a question with id 1, and get its specific answer with id 2, then from that answer pull my vote using userId inside upvotes.
I want to do it with a single findOneAndUpdate query
You can even use single $ positional with the $pull operator to update the nested array
db.collection.findOneAndUpdate(
{ "_id": ObjectId(1), "answers._id": ObjectId(2) },
{ "$pull": { "answers.$.upVotes": { "userId": ObjectId(4) }}}
)
I think I understood that you want to do a search in the specific array
db.collection.update(
{
"_id": "507f1f77bcf86cd799439011", // id field
"answers.upVotes._id":"507f1f77bcf86cd799439011" //id array
}
),{
"$set":{"answers.$.upVotes": {userId :"507f1f77bcf86cd799439011"}}},//edit
//use "addToSet" for add

MongoDB Aggregation Framework: $project: use a value of a doc as the name of a key [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
count array occurrences across all documents with mongo
(2 answers)
Closed 7 years ago.
I have the following subdocument:
{
"id":1,
"url":"mysite.com",
"views":
[
{"ip":"1.1.1.1","date":"01-01-2015"},
{"ip":"2.2.2.2","date":"01-01-2015"},
{"ip":"1.1.1.1","date":"01-01-2015"},
{"ip":"1.1.1.1","date":"01-01-2015"}
]
}
and the following query so far:
db.collection.aggregate([
{
"$unwind": "$views"
},
{
"$group": {
"_id": "$views.ip",
"count": {
"$sum": 1
}
}
}
])
that returns the following result:
[
{
"_id":"2.2.2.2",
"count":1
},
{
"_id":"1.1.1.1",
"count":3
}
]
I would like to achieve the following output result, or quite similar:
[
{
"2.2.2.2": 1,
"1.1.1.1": 3
}
]
where each key would be every _id, and it's value their associated count. Is this possible to achieve?
I've tried so far adding at the end of the aggregate pipe a $project document like this one:
{
"$project": {
"_id": 0,
"$_id": "$count"
}
}
but it seems this doesn't work. Is there a way to achieve my desired query result or should I just stick to what I did so far and forget about it because it is not possible to achieve so?
The aggregation framework cannot output a key name from a value. The best place to do this in our application layer. As suggested in the comment, you could use either use the map reduce framework or forEach to achieve this, however, their performance is generally poorer, in particular in sharded environments, see the documentation.

MongoDB query to find property of first element of array

I have the following data in MongoDB (simplified for what is necessary to my question).
{
_id: 0,
actions: [
{
type: "insert",
data: "abc, quite possibly very very large"
}
]
}
{
_id: 1,
actions: [
{
type: "update",
data: "def"
},{
type: "delete",
data: "ghi"
}
]
}
What I would like is to find the first action type for each document, e.g.
{_id:0, first_action_type:"insert"}
{_id:1, first_action_type:"update"}
(It's fine if the data structured differently, but I need those values present, somehow.)
EDIT: I've tried db.collection.find({}, {'actions.action_type':1}), but obviously that returns all elements of the actions array.
NoSQL is quite new to me. Before, I would have stored all this in two tables in a relational database and done something like SELECT id, (SELECT type FROM action WHERE document_id = d.id ORDER BY seq LIMIT 1) action_type FROM document d.
You can use $slice operator in projection. (but for what you do i am not sure that the order of the array remain the same when you update it. Just to keep in mind))
db.collection.find({},{'actions':{$slice:1},'actions.type':1})
You can also use the Aggregation Pipeline introduced in version 2.2:
db.collection.aggregate([
{ $unwind: '$actions' },
{ $group: { _id: "$_id", first_action_type: { $first: "$actions.type" } } }
])
Using the $arrayElemAt operator is actually the most elegant way, although the syntax may be unintuitive:
db.collection.aggregate([
{ $project: {first_action_type: {$arrayElemAt: ["$actions.type", 0]}
])
