Syntax error Promote subfields to top level in projection without listing all keys in MongoDB?

Promote subfields to top level in projection without listing all keys in MongoDB?



To promote subfields to top level in projection, use $objectToArray and $arrayToObject. Let us first create a collection with documents:

> db.promoteSubfieldsDemo.insertOne({'s':10,'y':{'t':20,'u':30,}});
{
   "acknowledged" : true,
   "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e038004190a577c668b55d5")
}

Following is the query to display all documents from a collection with the help of find() method −

> db.promoteSubfieldsDemo.find().pretty();

This will produce the following output −

{
   "_id" : ObjectId("5e038004190a577c668b55d5"),
   "s" : 10,
   "y" : {
      "t" : 20,
      "u" : 30
   }
}

Following is the query to promote subfields to top level in projection without listing all keys −

> db.promoteSubfieldsDemo.aggregate([
...    { "$replaceRoot": {
...       "newRoot": {
...          "$arrayToObject": {
...             "$concatArrays": [
...                [{ "k": "s", "v": "$s" }],
...                { "$objectToArray": "$y" }
...             ]
...          }
...       }
...    }}
... ]);

This will produce the following output −

{ "s" : 10, "t" : 20, "u" : 30 }
