Need to sum from array object value in mongodb - mongodb

Question

I am trying to calculate total value if that value exits. But query is not working 100%. So can somebody help me to solve this problem. Here my sample document. I have attached two documents. Please these documents & find out best solution
Document : 1
{
"_id" : 1"),
"message_count" : 4,
"messages" : {
"data" : [
{
"id" : "11",
"saleValue": 1000
},
{
"id" : "112",
"saleValue": 1400
},
{
"id" : "22",
},
{
"id" : "234",
"saleValue": 111
}
],
},
"createdTime" : ISODate("2018-03-18T10:18:48.000Z")
}
Document : 2
{
"_id" : 444,
"message_count" : 4,
"messages" : {
"data" : [
{
"id" : "444",
"saleValue" : 2060
},
{
"id" : "444",
},
{
"id" : 234,
"saleValue" : 260
},
{
"id" : "34534",
}
]
},
"createdTime" : ISODate("2018-03-18T03:11:50.000Z")
}
Needed Output:
{
total : 4831
}
My query :
db.getCollection('myCollection').aggregate([
{
"$group": {
"_id": "$Id",
"totalValue": {
$sum: {
$sum: "$messages.data.saleValue"
}
}
}
}
])
So please if possible help me to solve this problem. Thanks in advance

Answer 1

It's not working correctly because it is aggregating all the documents in the collection; you are grouping on a constant "_id": "tempId", you just need to reference the correct key by adding the $ as:
db.getCollection('myCollection').aggregate([
{ "$group": {
"_id": "$tempId",
"totalValue": {
"$sum": { "$sum": "$messages.data.saleValue" }
}
} }
])
which in essence is a single stage pipeline version of an aggregate operation with an extra field that holds the sum expression before the group pipeline then calling that field as the $sum operator in the group.
The above works since $sum from MongoDB 3.2+ is available in both the $project and $group stages and when used in the $project stage, $sum returns the sum of the list of expressions. The expression "$messages.data.value" returns a list of numbers [120, 1200] which are then used as the $sum expression:
db.getCollection('myCollection').aggregate([
{ "$project": {
"values": { "$sum": "$messages.data.value" },
"tempId": 1,
} },
{ "$group": {
"_id": "$tempId",
"totalValue": { "$sum": "$values" }
} }
])

Answer 2

You can add a $unwind before your $group, in that way you will deconstructs the data array, and then you can group properly:
db.myCollection.aggregate([
{
"$unwind": "$messages.data"
},
{
"$group": {
"_id": "tempId",
"totalValue": {
$sum: {
$sum: "$messages.data.value"
}
}
}
}
])
Output:
{ "_id" : "tempId", "totalValue" : 1320 }

Answer 3

db.getCollection('myCollection').aggregate([
{
$unwind: "$messages.data",
$group: {
"_id": "tempId",
"totalValue": { $sum: "$messages.data.value" }
}
}
])
$unwind

Answer 4

According to description as mentioned into above question, as a solution please try executing following aggregate query
db.myCollection.aggregate(
// Pipeline
[
// Stage 1
{
$unwind: {
path: '$messages.data'
}
},
// Stage 2
{
$group: {
_id: {
pageId: '$pageId'
},
total: {
$sum: '$messages.data.saleValue'
}
}
},
// Stage 3
{
$project: {
pageId: '$_id.pageId',
total: 1,
_id: 0
}
}
]
);

Answer 5

You can do it without using $group. Grouping made other data to be managed and addressed. So, I prefer using $sum and $map as shown below:
db.getCollection('myCollection').aggregate([
{
$addFields: {
total: {
$sum: {
$map: {
input: "$messages.data",
as: "message",
in: "$$message.saleValue",
},
},
},
},
},
}
])
