I have data like the following:
{
title: "whatever"
answers:[
{
"question_id" : 11294,
"sub_id" : null,
"_id" : ObjectId("52f90f68bab16dd8595d453e"),
"values" : [
"Po "
]
}
]
}
And I am trying to update it like so:
db.participants.update(
{
"answers.question_id": 11294,
"answers.sub_id": null
},
{
$set:
{
"answers.$.question": 'test'
}
},
false,
true
);
But it does not work (the record is not updated). If there is a values for sub_id and answers.sub_id then the update works fine. How can I write this update so that it will update records both when they have a value for answers.sub_id and when answers.sub_id is null?
UPDATE:
I create this index right before I run the query and then delete it after:
db.participants.ensureIndex({"answers.question_id": 1, "answers.sub_id": 1});
You should try $elemMatch:
db.participants.update(
{
answers: {$elemMatch: {"question_id": 11294, "sub_id": null}}
},
{
$set:
{
"answers.$.question": 'test'
}
},
false,
true
);
The "answers" field is an array, in your example, not a sub-document. Hope this helps.

I have a mongodb collection that looks like this:
{
"_id" : ObjectId("60471bd482c0da3c0e70d26f"),
"owner" : "John",
"propAvailable" : {
"val1" : true
}
},
{
"_id" : ObjectId("60471bd482c0da3c0e76523f"),
"owner" : "Matt",
"propAvailable" : {
"val1" : {
"val2" : true
}
}
I need to run an update query on this collection that will update the value of the 'propAvailable' key such that
db.collection('props').update({'owner' : 'John'} , {$set : {'propAvailable.val1.val2' : true}});
This query works if the document already looks like the second one but gives the error:
Cannot create field 'val2' in element {'val1': true} if the document format is the first one. Is there a way to write this query so that it overwrites the boolean 'true' and replaces it with the object {'val2' : true}
You can use:
db.collection.update({
"owner": "John"
},
{
$set: {
"propAvailable.val1": {
val2: true
}
}
})
To create val2: true inside propAvailable.val1 and replace its current content.
As you can see working on the playground
If you're using Mongo version 4.2+ you can use pipelined updates to achieve this, like so:
db.collection.updateMany({
owner: "John"
},
[
{
$set: {
"propAvailable.val1": {
$mergeObjects: [
{
$cond: [
{
$eq: [
"object",
{
$type: "$propAvailable.val1"
}
]
},
"$propAvailable.val1",
{}
]
},
{
val2: true
}
]
}
}
},
])
Mongo Playground
For older mongo versions this is impossible to do in 1 query if objects potentially have additional fields under val1 you want to preserve. You will have to either read and update, or execute two different updates for each case.
If I have the following document in my database :
{
"_id" : MainId,
"subdoc" : [
{
"_id" : SubdocId,
"userid" : "someid",
"toupdate": false,
},
{
"_id" : SubdocId2,
"userid" : "someid2",
"toupdate": false,
}
],
"extra" : [
"extraid1",
"extraid2"
]
}
How can I update the subdocument SubdocId2 where the id (SubdocId2) must match and either SubdocId2's userid is "someid2" OR value "extraid1" exists in "extra"?
The farthest I got is:
db.coll.update({
"subdoc._id":"SubdocId2", {
$or: ["extra":{$in:["extraid1"]}, "subdoc.userid":"someid2"]
}
}, {"subdoc.$.toupdate":true})
Maybe I forgot to quote up something, but I get an error (SyntaxError: invalid property id)
Please try this :
db.coll.update(
{
$and: [{ "subdoc._id": SubdocId2 }, {
$or: [{ "extra": { $in: ["extraid1"] } },
{ "subdoc.userid": "someid2" }]
}] // subdoc._id && (extra || subdoc.userid)
}, { $set: { "subdoc.$.toupdate": true } })
In your query there are couple of syntax issues & also if you don't use $set in your update part - it replace the entire document with "subdoc.$.toupdate": true. Of course if you're using mongoose that's different scenario as mongoose will internally does add $set but when executing in shell or any client you need to specify $set. Also if SubdocId2 is ObjectId() you need to convert string to ObjectId() in code before querying database.
I have a document structure like this : (but with many markers and forms)
{
markers : [
{
id : 1,
updateDate : 1538051924574,
forms : [
{
id : 2,
sent : false
}
]
}
]
}
And I wanted to update forms.sent to true, so I made this query :
updateOne({
}, {
$set: {
"markers.$[].forms.$[b].sent": true
}
}, {
arrayFilters: [
{"b.id": "2"}
]
})
Everything is working as intended, but now I would like to update markers.udpateDate for every forms.sent updated. But I don't have access to marker.id, I can only use form.id.
My question is, can I update parent attribute using only child accessor ?
I already tried something like this :
updateOne({
}, {
$set: {
"markers.$[].forms.$[b].sent": true,
"markers.$[].updateDate": Date.now()
}
}, {
arrayFilters: [
{"b.id": "2"}
]
})
But as I would think, it does update every markers in the array..
If anyone has any idea,
Thanks
Just add another placeholder for parent, and duplicate you arrayFiter with this new placeholder :
db['01'].updateOne({
}, {
$set: {
"markers.$[].forms.$[b].sent": true,
"markers.$[dateUp].updateDate": Date.now() <=
}
}, {
arrayFilters: [
{"b.id": 2},
{"dateUp.forms.id":2} <=
]
})
Note : You used string value in your arrayFilters, but according to your schema it must be a number.
I have document
{
"_id" : ObjectId("5aebf141a805cd28433c414c"),
"forumId" : ObjectId("5ae9f82989f7834df037cc90"),
"userName" : "Name",
"usersLike" : [
"1","2"
],
"comment" : "Comment",
}
I want to remove value from usersLike array if the value exists, or add if the value does not exist.
Eg:
If I try to push 1 into usersLike, it should return
{
"_id" : ObjectId("5aebf141a805cd28433c414c"),
"forumId" : ObjectId("5ae9f82989f7834df037cc90"),
"userName" : "Name",
"usersLike" : [
"2"
],
"comment" : "Comment",
}
How can I query it..??
MongoDB version 4.2+ introduces pipelined update. Which means we can now use aggregation operators while updating. this gives us a lot of power.
db.collection.updateOne(
{
_id: ObjectId("597afd8200758504d314b534")
},
[
{
$set: {
usersLike: {
$cond: [
{
$in: ["1", "$usersLike"]
},
{
$setDifference: ["$usersLike", ["1"]]
},
{
$concatArrays: ["$usersLike", ["1"]]
}
]
}
}
}
]
)
Mongodb doesn't support conditional push or pull update. However you can still do it by using find:
db.collectionName.find({_id:ObjectId("597afd8200758504d314b534"),usersLike:{$in:["1"]}}).pretty()
if id exist in usersLike than pull else push.
Or you use the update query to pull as:
db.collectionName.update({
_id: ObjectId("597afd8200758504d314b534"),
usersLike: {
$in: ["1"]
}
}, {
$pull: { 'usersLike': "1" }
}, { multi: true })
And to push you can use:
db.collectionName.update({
_id:ObjectId("597afd8200758504d314b534"),
usersLike:{$nin:["1"]
}},{
$push:{'usersLike':"1"}
}, {multi: true})
Try this :
db.collectionName.update({_id:ObjectId("597afd8200758504d314b534")},{$pull:{'usersLike':"1"}}, {multi: true})
Try this
if db.collectionName.find({'_id':ObjectId("5aebf141a805cd28433c414c"),'usersLike:{'$in:['1']}}).count() > 0:
db.collectionName.update({'_id':ObjectId("5aebf141a805cd28433c414c")},{'$pull':{'usersLike':'1'}})
else:
db.collectionName.update({'_id':ObjectId("5aebf141a805cd28433c414c")},{'$addToSet':{'usersLike':'1'}})
I have the following documents:
[{
"_id":1,
"name":"john",
"position":1
},
{"_id":2,
"name":"bob",
"position":2
},
{"_id":3,
"name":"tom",
"position":3
}]
In the UI a user can change position of items(eg moving Bob to first position, john gets position 2, tom - position 3).
Is there any way to update all positions in all documents at once?
You can not update two documents at once with a MongoDB query. You will always have to do that in two queries. You can of course set a value of a field to the same value, or increment with the same number, but you can not do two distinct updates in MongoDB with the same query.
You can use db.collection.bulkWrite() to perform multiple operations in bulk. It has been available since 3.2.
It is possible to perform operations out of order to increase performance.
From mongodb 4.2 you can do using pipeline in update using $set operator
there are many ways possible now due to many operators in aggregation pipeline though I am providing one of them
exports.updateDisplayOrder = async keyValPairArr => {
try {
let data = await ContestModel.collection.update(
{ _id: { $in: keyValPairArr.map(o => o.id) } },
[{
$set: {
displayOrder: {
$let: {
vars: { obj: { $arrayElemAt: [{ $filter: { input: keyValPairArr, as: "kvpa", cond: { $eq: ["$$kvpa.id", "$_id"] } } }, 0] } },
in:"$$obj.displayOrder"
}
}
}
}],
{ runValidators: true, multi: true }
)
return data;
} catch (error) {
throw error;
}
}
example key val pair is: [{"id":"5e7643d436963c21f14582ee","displayOrder":9}, {"id":"5e7643e736963c21f14582ef","displayOrder":4}]
Since MongoDB 4.2 update can accept aggregation pipeline as second argument, allowing modification of multiple documents based on their data.
See https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/method/db.collection.update/#modify-a-field-using-the-values-of-the-other-fields-in-the-document
Excerpt from documentation:
Modify a Field Using the Values of the Other Fields in the Document
Create a members collection with the following documents:
db.members.insertMany([
{ "_id" : 1, "member" : "abc123", "status" : "A", "points" : 2, "misc1" : "note to self: confirm status", "misc2" : "Need to activate", "lastUpdate" : ISODate("2019-01-01T00:00:00Z") },
{ "_id" : 2, "member" : "xyz123", "status" : "A", "points" : 60, "misc1" : "reminder: ping me at 100pts", "misc2" : "Some random comment", "lastUpdate" : ISODate("2019-01-01T00:00:00Z") }
])
Assume that instead of separate misc1 and misc2 fields, you want to gather these into a new comments field. The following update operation uses an aggregation pipeline to:
add the new comments field and set the lastUpdate field.
remove the misc1 and misc2 fields for all documents in the collection.
db.members.update(
{ },
[
{ $set: { status: "Modified", comments: [ "$misc1", "$misc2" ], lastUpdate: "$$NOW" } },
{ $unset: [ "misc1", "misc2" ] }
],
{ multi: true }
)
Suppose after updating your position your array will looks like
const objectToUpdate = [{
"_id":1,
"name":"john",
"position":2
},
{
"_id":2,
"name":"bob",
"position":1
},
{
"_id":3,
"name":"tom",
"position":3
}].map( eachObj => {
return {
updateOne: {
filter: { _id: eachObj._id },
update: { name: eachObj.name, position: eachObj.position }
}
}
})
YourModelName.bulkWrite(objectToUpdate,
{ ordered: false }
).then((result) => {
console.log(result);
}).catch(err=>{
console.log(err.result.result.writeErrors[0].err.op.q);
})
It will update all position with different value.
Note : I have used here ordered : false for better performance.
