Syntax error Find in MongoDB documents with filled nested array and reshape the documents result

Find in MongoDB documents with filled nested array and reshape the documents result



Let us first create a collection with documents −

> db.demo187.insertOne(
...    {
...      "_id" : "101",
...      "Details" : [
...         { "Subject" : "MongoDB" },
...         { "Subject" : "MySQL" }
...      ]
...   }
...);
{ "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : "101" }
> db.demo187.insertOne(
...   {
...      "_id" : "102",
...      "Details" : [
...         { }
...      ]
...   }
...);
{ "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : "102" }
> db.demo187.insertOne(
...   {
...      "_id" : "103",
...      "Details" : [
...         { "Subject" : "MongoDB" },
...         { "Subject" : "MySQL" }
...      ]
...   }
...);
{ "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : "103" }

Display all documents from a collection with the help of find() method −

> db.demo187.find();

This will produce the following output −

{ "_id" : "101", "Details" : [ { "Subject" : "MongoDB" }, { "Subject" : "MySQL" } ] }
{ "_id" : "102", "Details" : [ {  } ] }
{ "_id" : "103", "Details" : [ { "Subject" : "MongoDB" }, { "Subject" : "MySQL" } ] }

Following is the query to find in MongoDB documents with filled nested array −

> db.demo187.aggregate([
...
...   {$unwind: '$Details'},
...
...   {$project: {Subject: '$Details.Subject'}},
...
...   {$match: {Subject: {$exists: true}}}
... ])

This will produce the following output −

{ "_id" : "101", "Subject" : "MongoDB" }
{ "_id" : "101", "Subject" : "MySQL" }
{ "_id" : "103", "Subject" : "MongoDB" }
{ "_id" : "103", "Subject" : "MySQL" }
