Syntax error MongoDB aggregation to sum individual properties on an object in an array across documents

MongoDB aggregation to sum individual properties on an object in an array across documents



For this, use aggregate() in MongoDB. Let us first create a collection with documents −

> db.demo131.insertOne(
...    {
...       "_id": 101,
...       "Details": [
...          {
...             "PlayerScore": 500,
...             "PlayerName": "Chris"
...          },
...          {
...             "PlayerScore": 400,
...             "PlayerName": "David"
...          }
...       ]
...    }
... );
{ "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : 101 }
> db.demo131.insertOne(
...    {
...       "_id": 102,
...       "Details": [
...          {
...             "PlayerScore": 600,
...             "PlayerName": "Chris"
...          },
...          {
...             "PlayerScore": 200,
...             "PlayerName": "David"
...          }
...       ]
...    }
... );
{ "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : 102 }

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

> db.demo131.find();

This will produce the following output −

{ "_id" : 101, "Details" : [ { "PlayerScore" : 500, "PlayerName" : "Chris" }, { "PlayerScore" : 400, "PlayerName" : "David" } ] }
{ "_id" : 102, "Details" : [ { "PlayerScore" : 600, "PlayerName" : "Chris" }, { "PlayerScore" : 200, "PlayerName" : "David" } ] }

Following is the query to sum individual properties on an object in an array −

> db.demo131.aggregate([
...    { $unwind: "$Details" },
...    {
...       $group: {
...          _id:"$Details.PlayerName",
...          Value:{$sum:"$Details.PlayerScore"}
...       }
...    },
... {
...    $group: {
...       _id: 0,
...       Details:{ $push: {Details:"$_id",Value:"$Value"}}
...       }
...    },
... {
...    $project:{Details:1,_id:0}
... } ])

This will produce the following output −

{ "Details" : [ { "Details" : "David", "Value" : 600 }, { "Details" : "Chris", "Value" : 1100 } ] }
