Yes, you can use regexp to make a case-insensitive query in MongoDB. The syntax is as follows:
db.yourCollectionName.find({"yourFieldName":/^yourvalue$/i});To understand the above syntax, let us create a collection with some documents. The query to create a collection with documents is as follows:
> db.caseInsensitiveDemo.insertOne({"Name":"John"});
{
"acknowledged" : true,
"insertedId" : ObjectId("5c6d7a67f2db199c1278e7ef")
}
> db.caseInsensitiveDemo.insertOne({"Name":"JOHN"});
{
"acknowledged" : true,
"insertedId" : ObjectId("5c6d7ad6f2db199c1278e7f0")
}Display all documents from a collection with the help of find(). The query is as follows:
> db.caseInsensitiveDemo.find();
The following is the output:
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5c6d7a67f2db199c1278e7ef"), "Name" : "John" }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5c6d7ad6f2db199c1278e7f0"), "Name" : "JOHN" }Here is the query to make case insensitive query:
> db.caseInsensitiveDemo.find({"Name":/^john$/i});The following is the output:
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5c6d7a67f2db199c1278e7ef"), "Name" : "John" }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5c6d7ad6f2db199c1278e7f0"), "Name" : "JOHN" }
