Get a count of documents in an aggregation under specific requirement - mongodb

Question

In my collection, each document represents a user-generated quiz, and includes an array field for tags, i.e. History, Science, Math, etc. I am trying to get a count of documents associated with each tag.
The below aggregation results in a unique tag list that look like this: {tags:["History", "Science", "Math"]}
db.quizzes.aggregate([
{$unwind: "$tags"},
{$group: {_id:null, tgs: {$addToSet: "$tags"}}},
{$project: {_id:0, tags: "$tgs"}},
])
However, can the above aggregation also get a count of the number of documents that contains each tag? For example if there were 3 History quizzes, 2 Science quizzes, and 5 Math quizzes, the result would look like this: {tags:[{tag: "History", count: 3}, {tag: "Science", count: 2}, {tag: "Math", count:5}]}
Thanks in advance for any tips.

Answer 1

You can try the following aggregation pipeline.
db.quizzes.aggregate([
{"$unwind":"$tags"},
{"$group":{"_id":"$tags", count:{$sum:1}}},
{"$project":{"_id":0, "tags":{"tag":"$_id","count":"$count"}}},
{"$group":{"_id":null, "tags":{"$push":"$tags"}}},
{"$project":{"_id":0, tags:1}}
])
