Syntax error Querying from part of object in an array with MongoDB

Querying from part of object in an array with MongoDB



To query from part of object in an array, use $findOne() and $all. Let us first create a collection with documents −

> db.demo25.insertOne(
... {
...
...    "Details":[
...       {
...          "UserId":"Carol101",
...          "UserName":"Carol"
...       },
...       {
...          "UserId":"David102",
...          "UserName":"David"
...       }
...    ]
... }
... );
{
   "acknowledged" : true,
   "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e14c86e22d07d3b95082e77")
}
> db.demo25.insertOne(
... {
...
...    "Details":[
...       {
...          "UserId":"Chris101",
...          "UserName":"Chris"
...       },
...       {
...          "UserId":"Mike102",
...          "UserName":"Mike"
...       }
...    ]
... }
... );
{
   "acknowledged" : true,
   "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e14c86f22d07d3b95082e78")
}

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

> db.demo25.find();

This will produce the following output −

{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e14c86e22d07d3b95082e77"), "Details" : [ { "UserId" : "Carol101", "UserName" : "Carol" }, { "UserId" : "David102", "UserName" : "David" } ] }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e14c86f22d07d3b95082e78"), "Details" : [ { "UserId" : "Chris101", "UserName" : "Chris" }, { "UserId" : "Mike102", "UserName" : "Mike" } ] }

Here is how to query from part of object in array −

> db.demo25.findOne({ "Details.UserId":{$all : ["Carol101","David102"]}});

This will produce the following output −

{
   "_id" : ObjectId("5e14c86e22d07d3b95082e77"),
   "Details" : [
      {
         "UserId" : "Carol101",
         "UserName" : "Carol"
      },
      {
         "UserId" : "David102",
         "UserName" : "David"
      }
   ]
}
