You can use $setIntersection for this. Let us first create a collection with documents −
> db.setInterSectionDemo.insertOne( ... {"_id":101, "Value1":[55,67,89]} ... ); { "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : 101 } > db.setInterSectionDemo.insertOne( ... {"_id":102, "Value2":[90,45,55]} ... ); { "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : 102 } > db.setInterSectionDemo.insertOne( ... {"_id":103, "Value3":[92,67,45]} ... ); { "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : 103 }
Following is the query to display all documents from a collection with the help of find() method −
> db.setInterSectionDemo.find().pretty();
This will produce the following output −
{ "_id" : 101, "Value1" : [ 55, 67, 89 ] } { "_id" : 102, "Value2" : [ 90, 45, 55 ] } { "_id" : 103, "Value3" : [ 92, 67, 45 ]
Here is the query to find intersection of sets between the documents in a single collection in MongoDB −
> db.setInterSectionDemo.aggregate([ ... { ... "$match": { ... "_id": { "$in": [101, 103] } ... } ... }, ... { ... "$group": { ... "_id": 0, ... "firstValue": { "$first": "$Value1" }, ... "secondValue": { "$last": "$Value3" } ... } ... }, ... { ... "$project": { ... "firstValue": 1, ... "secondValue": 1, ... "CommonValue": { "$setIntersection": [ "$firstValue", "$secondValue" ] }, ... "_id": 0 ... } ... } ... ]);
This will produce the following output −
{ "firstValue" : [ 55, 67, 89 ], "secondValue" : [ 92, 67, 45 ], "CommonValue" : [ 67 ] }
