To create a double nested array in MongoDB, let us implement the query to create a collection with documents. Within that, we have created a double nested array that displays Student Details, with the project name and technologies used to develop the same project:
> db.doubleNestedArrayDemo.insertOne( ... { ... "StudentId" : "1000", ... "StudentName" : "Larry", ... "StudentDetails" : [ ... { ... "ProjectName" : "Online Banking", ... "ProjectDetails" : [ ... { ... "TechnologyUsed" : "Java" ... }, ... { ... "TechnologyUsed" : "MySQL in Backend" ... } ... ] ... } ... ] ... } ... ); { "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : ObjectId("5c992bd7330fd0aa0d2fe4cc") } > db.doubleNestedArrayDemo.insertOne( { "StudentId" : "1001", "StudentName" : "Robert", "StudentDetails" : [ { "ProjectName" : "Student Web Tracker", "ProjectDetails" : [ { "TechnologyUsed" : "Django Framework" }, { "TechnologyUsed" : "MongoDB in Backend" } ] } ] } ); { "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : ObjectId("5c992cdb330fd0aa0d2fe4cd") }
Following is the query to display all the documents from a collection with the help of find() method
> db.doubleNestedArrayDemo.find().pretty()
This will produce the following output
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5c992bd7330fd0aa0d2fe4cc"), "StudentId" : "1000", "StudentName" : "Larry", "StudentDetails" : [ { "ProjectName" : "Online Banking", "ProjectDetails" : [ { "TechnologyUsed" : "Java" }, { "TechnologyUsed" : "MySQL in Backend" } ] } ] } { "_id" : ObjectId("5c992cdb330fd0aa0d2fe4cd"), "StudentId" : "1001", "StudentName" : "Robert", "StudentDetails" : [ { "ProjectName" : "Student Web Tracker", "ProjectDetails" : [ { "TechnologyUsed" : "Django Framework" }, { "TechnologyUsed" : "MongoDB in Backend" } ] } ] }
