Filter Documents Based on an Array in MongoDB
To filter documents based on an array, use elemMatch.TheelemMatch operator matches documents that contain an array field.
Let us create a collection with documents −
> db.demo453.insertOne( ... { _id: 101, details: [ { Name: "David", Marks: 60 }, { Name: "Mike", Marks: 55} ] } ... ) { "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : 101 } > db.demo453.insertOne( ... { _id: 102, details: [ { Name: "Bob", Marks: 80 }, { Name: "Sam", Marks: 78} ] } ... ) { "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : 102 } > db.demo453.insertOne( ... { _id: 103, details: [ { Name: "Carol", Marks: 67 }, { Name: "John", Marks: 79} ] } ... ) { "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : 103 }
Display all documents from a collection with the help of find() method −
> db.demo453.find();
This will produce the following output −
{ "_id" : 101, "details" : [ { "Name" : "David", "Marks" : 60 }, { "Name" : "Mike", "Marks" : 55 } ] } { "_id" : 102, "details" : [ { "Name" : "Bob", "Marks" : 80 }, { "Name" : "Sam", "Marks" : 78 } ] } { "_id" : 103, "details" : [ { "Name" : "Carol", "Marks" : 67 }, { "Name" : "John", "Marks" : 79 } ] }
Following is the query to filter documents based on an array −
> db.demo453.find( ... { details: { $elemMatch: {Marks: { $gte: 75 } } } } ... )
This will produce the following output −
{ "_id" : 102, "details" : [ { "Name" : "Bob", "Marks" : 80 }, { "Name" : "Sam", "Marks" : 78 } ] } { "_id" : 103, "details" : [ { "Name" : "Carol", "Marks" : 67 }, { "Name" : "John", "Marks" : 79 } ] }
