The question is quite easy. I have the following document in mongoDb:
_id : ObjectId("519e3c14ade67153e9a003a0")
status:1,
name:"name",
details:
{
crm:115,
webs:
[
{ tag:"blog" , url:"http://..."}
],
contacts:
[
{
_id:ObjectId("009e37e1ade67153e9a0039e"),
name:"me",
phones:
[
{ tag:"home", number:"123..." },
{tag:"mobile", number:"123456789"}
]
}
]
}
I am trying to update one fo the phones in the subdocument details.contacts doing this:
db.new.update(
{
_id : ObjectId("519e3c14ade67153e9a003a0"),
"details.contacts._id": ObjectId("009e37e1ade67153e9a0039e"),
"details.contacts.phones.tag":"home"
},
{
$set:
{
"details.contacts.$.phones.$":
{
tag:"home",
number:"965923777"
}
}
})
and finally I get the following error: Cannot apply the positional operator without a corresponding query field containing an array.
There is anyway to update the document in this way or i should send all the phones to update this field?

I would like to update each elements (object) in an array of a company.
Here my actual data :
{
_id: ObjectId("60d31024860ce0400b586111")
contracts:
[
{
name: 1.pdf
url: "https://someurl"
createdAt: 2021-06-23T10:42:44.594+00:00
}
{
name: 2.pdf
url: "https://someurl"
}
{
name: 3.pdf
url: "https://someurl"
}
]
}
I would like to add a defined date on each object (in contracts) that has no "updatedAt" key.
Here what I tried :
db.companies.update({ _id: ObjectId("60d31024860ce0400b586111"),"contracts.createdAt": { $exists: false } },{ $set: { "contracts.$.createdAt": "test" } })
but I got this error :
"The positional operator did not find the match needed from the query."
I have also tried this and it works, but I don't wanna query by file name. I just wanna add "createdAt" on each elements found that has no "createdAt"
db.companies.update({ "contracts.name": "2.pdf" },{ $set: { "contracts.$.createdAt": "atest" } })
I think you need to use the filtered position operator:
$ - updates the first matched array element
$[] - updates all the matched elements with a specific condition
The specific condition is mentioned in the arrayFilters key.
db.students.update(
{ },
{ $set: { "contracts.$[element].createdAt" : "atest"} },
{ multi: true,
arrayFilters: [ { "element.createdAt": { $exists: false } } ]
}
)
multi - true is to apply the operation on all the matching documents.
Also notice, how the first query parameter is empty, which means the query runs for all documents. I used it based on the second query you wrote but you can also add in an ObjectID query there.
Assume we have following collection.
{
"Region":"Karnataka",
"ShortCode":"KA",
"SubRegion":[
{
"District":"Banglore",
"Commodity":[
{
"Name":"items",
"isActive":true,
"CommoditySubType":[
{
"Title":"Moistouriser",
"isActive":true,
"hasGrades":true,
"Grade":[
{
"Title":"Premium",
"Rate":"150",
"isActive":true,
"hasRates":true,
"hasSizes":true,
"StartDate":"2021-03-31",
"EndDate":"2021-04-06",
"StartTime":"9:00am",
"EndTime":"6:00pm",
"Sizes":[
{
"Title":"Small",
"isActive":true
}
]
"LastSevenDaysDates":[{
"Date":2021-03-31,
"Price":"150"
}]
}
]
}
]
}
]
},
{
"District":"Coorg",
"Commodity":[]
}
] }
I want to update an object under LastsevndayDates. I tried this.
mongo.db.supplierDailyPrice.update(
{
"Region":region,
"SubRegion.District":district,
"SubRegion.Commodity.Name":commodity,
"SubRegion.Commodity.CommoditySubType.Title":commoditysubtype,
"$and": [
{ "SubRegion.Commodity.CommoditySubType.Grade": { "$exists": True}},
{ "SubRegion.Commodity.CommoditySubType.Grade.Title": "Premium" },
]
},
{
"$set": {
"SubRegion.$[].Commodity.$[].CommoditySubType.$[].Grade.$[].LastSevenDaysDates": Date
}
})
But it's failing with the error pymongo.errors.WriteError: The path 'SubRegion.0.Commodity.0.CommoditySubType.1.Grade' must exist in the document in order to apply array updates.
You can use arrayFilters to solve your problem
db.supplierDailyPrice.update({
"Region":region
},
{
$set:{
"Subregion.$[sub].Commodity.$[com].CommoditySubType.$[Cst].Grade.$[grd]. LastSevenDaysDates.$[sev].date": Date
}
},
{
array_filter : [
{"sub.district": district},
{"com.name": commodity},
{"Cst.title": commoditysubtype},
{"grd.title": "premium"},
{"sev.price":"150"},
]
})
Not tested the code but something like this will solve your problem. For more reference you can check out the links below:

In mongo I store object that have field "titleComposite". This field contains array of title object, like this:
"titleComposite": [
"0": {
"titleType": "01",
"titleText": "Test cover uploading"
}
]
I'm perfoming query and I would like to receive only "titleText" value for the returned values. Here is an example of my query:
db.onix_feed.find({"addedBy":201, "mediaFileComposite":{$exists:false}}, {"isbn13":1,"titleComposite.titleText":1})
In the results I see values like
{
"_id" : ObjectId("559ab286fa4634f309826385"),
"titleComposite" : [ { "titleText" : "The Nonprofit World" } ],
"isbn13" : "9781565495296"
}
Is there any way to get rid of "titleComposite" wrapper object and receive only titleText? For example, take titleText of the first element only?
Would appreciate any help
You can mongodb aggregation to achieve your expected result. Re-arrange your query as following...
db.onix_feed.aggregate([
{
$match: {
$and: [
{"addedBy":201},
{"mediaFileComposite":{$exists:false}}
]
}
},
{
$project : { titleText: "$titleComposite.titleText",
"isbn13" : 1 }
}
])
Is there a way to conditionally $addToSet based on a specific key field in a subdocument on an array?
Here's an example of what I mean - given the collection produced by the following sample bootstrap;
cls
db.so.remove();
db.so.insert({
"Name": "fruitBowl",
"pfms" : [
{
"n" : "apples"
}
]
});
n defines a unique document key. I only want one entry with the same n value in the array at any one time. So I want to be able to update the pfms array using n so that I end up with just this;
{
"Name": "fruitBowl",
"pfms" : [
{
"n" : "apples",
"mState": 1111234
}
]
}
Here's where I am at the moment;
db.so.update({
"Name": "fruitBowl",
},{
// not allowed to do this of course
// "$pull": {
// "pfms": { n: "apples" },
// },
"$addToSet": {
"pfms": {
"$each": [
{
"n": "apples",
"mState": 1111234
}
]
}
}
}
)
Unfortunately, this adds another array element;
db.so.find().toArray();
[
{
"Name" : "fruitBowl",
"_id" : ObjectId("53ecfef5baca2b1079b0f97c"),
"pfms" : [
{
"n" : "apples"
},
{
"n" : "apples",
"mState" : 1111234
}
]
}
]
I need to effectively upsert the apples document matching on n as the unique identifier and just set mState whether or not an entry already exists. It's a shame I can't do a $pull and $addToSet in the same document (I tried).
What I really need here is dictionary semantics, but that's not an option right now, nor is breaking out the document - can anyone come up with another way?
FWIW - the existing format is a result of language/driver serialization, I didn't choose it exactly.
further
I've gotten a little further in the case where I know the array element already exists I can do this;
db.so.update({
"Name": "fruitBowl",
"pfms.n": "apples",
},{
$set: {
"pfms.$.mState": 1111234,
},
}
)
But of course that only works;
for a single array element
as long as I know it exists
The first limitation isn't a disaster, but if I can't effectively upsert or combine $addToSet with the previous $set (which of course I can't) then it the only workarounds I can think of for now mean two DB round-trips.
The $addToSet operator of course requires that the "whole" document being "added to the set" is in fact unique, so you cannot change "part" of the document or otherwise consider it to be a "partial match".
You stumbled on to your best approach using $pull to remove any element with the "key" field that would result in "duplicates", but of course you cannot modify the same path in different update operators like that.
So the closest thing you will get is issuing separate operations but also doing that with the "Bulk Operations API" which is introduced with MongoDB 2.6. This allows both to be sent to the server at the same time for the closest thing to a "contiguous" operations list you will get:
var bulk = db.so.initializeOrderedBulkOp();
bulk.find({ "Name": "fruitBowl", "pfms.n": "apples": }).updateOne({
"$pull": { "pfms": { "n": "apples" } }
});
bulk.find({ "Name": "fruitBowl" }).updateOne({
"$push": { "pfms": { "n": "apples", "state": 1111234 } }
})
bulk.execute();
That pretty much is your best approach if it is not possible or practical to move the elements to another collection and rely on "upserts" and $set in order to have the same functionality but on a collection rather than array.
I have faced the exact same scenario. I was inserting and removing likes from a post.
What I did is, using mongoose findOneAndUpdate function (which is similar to update or findAndModify function in mongodb).
The key concept is
Insert when the field is not present
Delete when the field is present
The insert is
findOneAndUpdate({ _id: theId, 'likes.userId': { $ne: theUserId }},
{ $push: { likes: { userId: theUserId, createdAt: new Date() }}},
{ 'new': true }, function(err, post) { // do the needful });
The delete is
findOneAndUpdate({ _id: theId, 'likes.userId': theUserId},
{ $pull: { likes: { userId: theUserId }}},
{ 'new': true }, function(err, post) { // do the needful });
This makes the whole operation atomic and there are no duplicates with respect to the userId field.
I hope this helpes. If you have any query, feel free to ask.
As far as I know MongoDB now (from v 4.2) allows to use aggregation pipelines for updates.
More or less elegant way to make it work (according to the question) looks like the following:
db.runCommand({
update: "your-collection-name",
updates: [
{
q: {},
u: {
$set: {
"pfms.$[elem]": {
"n":"apples",
"mState": NumberInt(1111234)
}
}
},
arrayFilters: [
{
"elem.n": {
$eq: "apples"
}
}
],
multi: true
}
]
})
In my scenario, The data need to be init when not existed, and update the field If existed, and the data will not be deleted. If the datas have these states, you might want to try the following method.
// Mongoose, but mostly same as mongodb
// Update the tag to user, If there existed one.
const user = await UserModel.findOneAndUpdate(
{
user: userId,
'tags.name': tag_name,
},
{
$set: {
'tags.$.description': tag_description,
},
}
)
.lean()
.exec();
// Add a default tag to user
if (user == null) {
await UserModel.findOneAndUpdate(
{
user: userId,
},
{
$push: {
tags: new Tag({
name: tag_name,
description: tag_description,
}),
},
}
);
}
This is the most clean and fast method in the scenario.
As a business analyst , I had the same problem and hopefully I have a solution to this after hours of investigation.
// The customer document:
{
"id" : "1212",
"customerCodes" : [
{
"code" : "I"
},
{
"code" : "YK"
}
]
}
// The problem : I want to insert dateField "01.01.2016" to customer documents where customerCodes subdocument has a document with code "YK" but does not have dateField. The final document must be as follows :
{
"id" : "1212",
"customerCodes" : [
{
"code" : "I"
},
{
"code" : "YK" ,
"dateField" : "01.01.2016"
}
]
}
// The solution : the solution code is in three steps :
// PART 1 - Find the customers with customerCodes "YK" but without dateField
// PART 2 - Find the index of the subdocument with "YK" in customerCodes list.
// PART 3 - Insert the value into the document
// Here is the code
// PART 1
var myCursor = db.customers.find({ customerCodes:{$elemMatch:{code:"YK", dateField:{ $exists:false} }}});
// PART 2
myCursor.forEach(function(customer){
if(customer.customerCodes != null )
{
var size = customer.customerCodes.length;
if( size > 0 )
{
var iFoundTheIndexOfSubDocument= -1;
var index = 0;
customer.customerCodes.forEach( function(clazz)
{
if( clazz.code == "YK" && clazz.changeDate == null )
{
iFoundTheIndexOfSubDocument = index;
}
index++;
})
// PART 3
// What happens here is : If i found the indice of the
// "YK" subdocument, I create "updates" document which
// corresponds to the new data to be inserted`
//
if( iFoundTheIndexOfSubDocument != -1 )
{
var toSet = "customerCodes."+ iFoundTheIndexOfSubDocument +".dateField";
var updates = {};
updates[toSet] = "01.01.2016";
db.customers.update({ "id" : customer.id } , { $set: updates });
// This statement is actually interpreted like this :
// db.customers.update({ "id" : "1212" } ,{ $set: customerCodes.0.dateField : "01.01.2016" });
}
}
}
});
Have a nice day !
Here is an example of a document from the collection I am querying
meteor:PRIMARY> db.research.findOne({_id: 'Z2zzA7dx6unkzKiSn'})
{
"_id" : "Z2zzA7dx6unkzKiSn",
"_userId" : "NtE3ANq2b2PbWSEqu",
"collaborators" : [
{
"userId" : "aTPzFad8DdFXxRrX4"
}
],
"name" : "new one",
"pending" : {
"collaborators" : [ ]
}
}
I want to find all documents within this collection with either _userId: 'aTPzFad8DdFXxRrX4' or from the collaborators array, userId: 'aTPzFad8DdFXxRrX4'
So I want to look though the collection and check if the _userId field is 'aTPzFad8DdFXxRrX4'. If not then check the collaborators array on the document and check if there is an object with userId: 'aTPzFad8DdFXxRrX4'.
Here is the query I am trying to use:
db.research.find({$or: [{_userId: 'aTPzFad8DdFXxRrX4'}, {collaborators: {$in: [{userId: 'aTPzFad8DdFXxRrX4'}]}}] })
It does not find the document and gives me a syntax error. What is my issue here? Thanks
The $in operator is basically a simplified version of $or but you really only have one argument here so you should not even need it. Use dot notation instead:
db.research.find({
'$or': [
{ '_userId': 'aTPzFad8DdFXxRrX4'},
{ 'collaborators.userId': 'aTPzFad8DdFXxRrX4'}
]
})
If you need more than one value then use $in:
db.research.find({
'$or': [
{ '_userId': 'aTPzFad8DdFXxRrX4'},
{ 'collaborators.userId': {
'$in': ['aTPzFad8DdFXxRrX4','aTPzFad8DdFXxRrX5']
}}
]
})
