Check if a list is not empty in MongoDB?
For this, use the $size operator. Let us first create a collection with documents −
> db.checkIfListIsNotEmptyDemo.insertOne({"UserFriendGroup":["John","David"]}); { "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : ObjectId("5cdd99e8bf3115999ed511f7") } > db.checkIfListIsNotEmptyDemo.insertOne({"UserFriendGroup":["Carol"]}); { "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : ObjectId("5cdd99e9bf3115999ed511f8") } > db.checkIfListIsNotEmptyDemo.insertOne({"UserFriendGroup":[]}); { "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : ObjectId("5cdd99ebbf3115999ed511f9") } > db.checkIfListIsNotEmptyDemo.insertOne({"UserFriendGroup":[null]}); { "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : ObjectId("5cdd99f2bf3115999ed511fa") } > db.checkIfListIsNotEmptyDemo.insertOne({"UserFriendGroup":[]}); { "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : ObjectId("5cdd99f6bf3115999ed511fb") }
Following is the query to display all documents from a collection with the help of find() method −
> db.checkIfListIsNotEmptyDemo.find().pretty();
This will produce the following output −
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5cdd99e8bf3115999ed511f7"), "UserFriendGroup" : [ "John", "David" ] } { "_id" : ObjectId("5cdd99e9bf3115999ed511f8"), "UserFriendGroup" : [ "Carol" ] } { "_id" : ObjectId("5cdd99ebbf3115999ed511f9"), "UserFriendGroup" : [ ] } { "_id" : ObjectId("5cdd99f2bf3115999ed511fa"), "UserFriendGroup" : [ null ] } { "_id" : ObjectId("5cdd99f6bf3115999ed511fb"), "UserFriendGroup" : [ ] }
Following is the query to check if a list is not empty −
> db.checkIfListIsNotEmptyDemo.find({'UserFriendGroup': {'$not': {'$size': 0}}});
This will produce the following output −
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5cdd99e8bf3115999ed511f7"), "UserFriendGroup" : [ "John", "David" ] } { "_id" : ObjectId("5cdd99e9bf3115999ed511f8"), "UserFriendGroup" : [ "Carol" ] } { "_id" : ObjectId("5cdd99f2bf3115999ed511fa"), "UserFriendGroup" : [ null ] }
