Syntax error MongoDB query to match documents that contain an array field

MongoDB query to match documents that contain an array field



To match documents that contain an array field, use the $elemMatch operator. Let us create a collection with documents −

> db.demo592.insertOne(
...    {
...       "id":101,
...       "details" : [
...          { "Name" : "Chris", "Value" : "200"},
...          {"Name" : "David", "Value" : "800"}
...       ]
...    }
... );
{
   "acknowledged" : true,
   "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e930d8ffd2d90c177b5bcd6")
}
> db.demo592.insertOne(
... {
...    id:102,
...    "details" : [
...       { "Name" : "Chris", "Value" : "500"},
...       {"Name" : "David", "Value" : "900"}
...    ]
... }
... );
{
   "acknowledged" : true,
   "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e930d90fd2d90c177b5bcd7")
}

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

> db.demo592.find();

This will produce the following output −

{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e930d8ffd2d90c177b5bcd6"), "id" : 101, "details" : [
   { "Name" : "Chris", "Value" : "200" },
   { "Name" : "David", "Value" : "800" }
] }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e930d90fd2d90c177b5bcd7"), "id" : 102, "details" : [
   { "Name" : "Chris", "Value" : "500" },
   { "Name" : "David", "Value" : "900" }
] }

Following is the query to match −

> db.demo592.find(
...    {
...       "$and" : [
...          { "details" : { "$elemMatch" : { "Name" : "Chris", "Value" : { "$gte" : "500" } } } },
...          { "details" : { "$elemMatch" : { "Name" : "David", "Value" : { "$gte" : "600" } } } }
...       ]
...    }
... );

This will produce the following output −

{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e930d90fd2d90c177b5bcd7"), "id" : 102, "details" : [
   { "Name" : "Chris", "Value" : "500" }, { "Name" : "David", "Value" : "900" } 
] }
