To store query result (a single document) into a variable, you can use var. Following is the syntax
var anyVariableName=db.yourCollectionName.find().limit(1); yourVariableName; //Print the records;
Let us first create a collection with documents
> db.storeQueryResultDemo.insertOne({"ClientName":"Chris","ClientAge":23}); { "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : ObjectId("5c9ecf8fd628fa4220163b8d") } > db.storeQueryResultDemo.insertOne({"ClientName":"Robert","ClientAge":21}); { "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : ObjectId("5c9ecf97d628fa4220163b8e") } > db.storeQueryResultDemo.insertOne({"ClientName":"Sam","ClientAge":25}); { "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : ObjectId("5c9ecf9ed628fa4220163b8f") } > db.storeQueryResultDemo.insertOne({"ClientName":"Mike","ClientAge":26}); { "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : ObjectId("5c9ecfa8d628fa4220163b90") }
Following is the query to display all documents from a collection with the help of find() method
> db.storeQueryResultDemo.find().pretty();
This will produce the following output
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5c9ecf8fd628fa4220163b8d"), "ClientName" : "Chris", "ClientAge" : 23 } { "_id" : ObjectId("5c9ecf97d628fa4220163b8e"), "ClientName" : "Robert", "ClientAge" : 21 } { "_id" : ObjectId("5c9ecf9ed628fa4220163b8f"), "ClientName" : "Sam", "ClientAge" : 25 } { "_id" : ObjectId("5c9ecfa8d628fa4220163b90"), "ClientName" : "Mike", "ClientAge" : 26 }
Following is the query to store query result (a single document) into a variable
> var queryResult=db.storeQueryResultDemo.find().limit(1);
Following is the query to display records of the above variable
> queryResult;
This will produce the following output
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5c9ecf8fd628fa4220163b8d"), "ClientName" : "Chris", "ClientAge" : 23 }
