To pull values, use $pull and set multi: true. Let us first create a collection with documents −
> db.demo392.insertOne(
... {
... Name: 'Chris',
... details: [
... {
... _id: '101'
...
... },
... {
... _id: '102'
... }
... ]
... }
... );
{
"acknowledged" : true,
"insertedId" : ObjectId("5e5d2b3322064be7ab44e802")
}
>
> db.demo392.insertOne(
... {
... Name: 'Chris',
... details: [
... {
... _id: '104'
...
... },
... {
... _id: '101'
... }
... ]
... }
... );
{
"acknowledged" : true,
"insertedId" : ObjectId("5e5d2b3422064be7ab44e803")
}Display all documents from a collection with the help of find() method −
> db.demo392.find();
This will produce the following output −
{
"_id" : ObjectId("5e5d2b3322064be7ab44e802"), "Name" : "Chris", "details" : [
{ "_id" : "101" }, { "_id" : "102" }
]
}
{
"_id" : ObjectId("5e5d2b3422064be7ab44e803"), "Name" : "Chris", "details" : [
{ "_id" : "104" }, { "_id" : "101" }
]
}Following is the query to $pull from array −
> db.demo392.update(
... { },
... { $pull: { details: { _id: '101' } } },
... { multi: true }
... )
WriteResult({ "nMatched" : 2, "nUpserted" : 0, "nModified" : 2 })Display all documents from a collection with the help of find() method −
> db.demo392.find();
This will produce the following output −
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e5d2b3322064be7ab44e802"), "Name" : "Chris", "details" : [ { "_id" : "102" } ] }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e5d2b3422064be7ab44e803"), "Name" : "Chris", "details" : [ { "_id" : "104" } ] }
