MongoDB find() query for nested document?

To fetch a value from the nested document, use dot notation. Let us create a collection with documents −

> db.demo591.insert([
...    { "Name": "John", "Age": 23 },
...    {"Name": "Carol", "Age": 26},
...    { "Name": "Robert", "Age": 29,
...    details:[
...       {
...          Email:"[email protected]",CountryName:"US"},{"Post":35}
...       ]}
... ]);
BulkWriteResult({
   "writeErrors" : [ ],
   "writeConcernErrors" : [ ],
   "nInserted" : 3,
   "nUpserted" : 0,
   "nMatched" : 0,
   "nModified" : 0,
   "nRemoved" : 0,
   "upserted" : [ ]
})

Display all documents from a collection with the help of find() method −

> db.demo591.find();

This will produce the following output −

{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e92dd08fd2d90c177b5bcd3"), "Name" : "John", "Age" : 23 }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e92dd08fd2d90c177b5bcd4"), "Name" : "Carol", "Age" : 26 }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e92dd08fd2d90c177b5bcd5"), "Name" : "Robert", "Age" : 29, "details" : [ {
"Email" : "[email protected]", "CountryName" : "US" }, { "Post" : 35 } ] }

Following is the query to fetch nested document using dot notation −

> db.demo591.find({"details.Email": "[email protected]"});

This will produce the following output −

{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e92dd08fd2d90c177b5bcd5"), "Name" : "Robert", "Age" : 29, "details" : [
   { "Email" : "[email protected]", "CountryName" : "US" }, { "Post" : 35 } 
] }
