To fetch specific documents, use limit() along with toArray(). The toArray() method returns an array that contains all the documents from a cursor. Let us create a collection with documents −
> db.demo482.insertOne({_id:1,"StudentInformation":[{"Name":"Chris","Age":21}]}); { "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : 1 } > db.demo482.insertOne({_id:2,"StudentInformation":[{"Name":"Bob","Age":23}]}); { "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : 2 } > db.demo482.insertOne({_id:3,"StudentInformation":[{"Name":"David","Age":20}]}); { "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : 3 }
Display all documents from a collection with the help of find() method −
> db.demo482.find();
This will produce the following output −
{ "_id" : 1, "StudentInformation" : [ { "Name" : "Chris", "Age" : 21 } ] } { "_id" : 2, "StudentInformation" : [ { "Name" : "Bob", "Age" : 23 } ] } { "_id" : 3, "StudentInformation" : [ { "Name" : "David", "Age" : 20 } ] }
Following is the query to fetch specific documents with limit() −
> db.demo482.find({}).limit(2).toArray();
This will produce the following output −
[ { "_id" : 1, "StudentInformation" : [ { "Name" : "Chris", "Age" : 21 } ] }, { "_id" : 2, "StudentInformation" : [ { "Name" : "Bob", "Age" : 23 } ] } ]
