To aggregate, use aggregate() in MongoDB. It calculates aggregate values for the data in a collection.
Let us create a collection with documents −
> db.demo544.insertOne({"DueTime":new ISODate("2020-01-10 12:10:20"),Amount:100});{ "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e8e1f029e5f92834d7f05ce") } > db.demo544.insertOne({"DueTime":new ISODate("2020-01-12 12:00:00"),Amount:500});{ "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e8e1f089e5f92834d7f05cf") } > db.demo544.insertOne({"DueTime":new ISODate("2020-01-12 12:10:20"),Amount:900});{ "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e8e1f109e5f92834d7f05d0") }
Display all documents from a collection with the help of find() method −
> db.demo544.find();
This will produce the following output −
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e8e1f029e5f92834d7f05ce"), "DueTime" : ISODate("2020-01-10T12:10:20Z"), "Amount" : 100 } { "_id" : ObjectId("5e8e1f089e5f92834d7f05cf"), "DueTime" : ISODate("2020-01-12T12:00:00Z"), "Amount" : 500 } { "_id" : ObjectId("5e8e1f109e5f92834d7f05d0"), "DueTime" : ISODate("2020-01-12T12:10:20Z"), "Amount" : 900 }
Following is the query to aggregate by an hour and $avg −
> db.demo544.aggregate( { "$group": { "_id": { "$hour": "$dueTime" }, "Amount": { "$avg": "$Amount" } }} )
This will produce the following output −
{ "_id" : null, "Amount" : 500 }
