Syntax error MongoDB query to limit subdocuments having the given fields of the 'projection'

MongoDB query to limit subdocuments having the given fields of the 'projection'



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

> db.demo285.insertOne(
...   {... details : [
...      {
...         Name : "Chris"
...      },
...      {
...         Name2: "Bob"
...      },
...      {
...         Name: "Mike"
...      }
...   ]
...   }
...)
{
   "acknowledged" : true,
   "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e4abffef49383b52759cbb9")
}

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

> db.demo285.find();

This will produce the following output −

{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e4abffef49383b52759cbb9"), "details" : [ { "Name" : "Chris" }, { "Name2" : "Bob" }, { "Name" : "Mike" } ] }

Following is the query to limit subdocuments having the given fields of the `projection` −

> db.demo285.aggregate(
...   [
...      { $match:
...         {'details.Name' :
...            { $exists: 1 }
...         }
...      },
...         { $unwind: "$details" },
...         { $match:
...            {'details.Name' :
...            { $exists: 1 }
...         }
...      },
...      { $project: { Name: "$details.Name", _id: 0 } }
...   ])

This will produce the following output −

{ "Name" : "Chris" }
{ "Name" : "Mike" }
