Extract a MongoDB document with a specific string

To extract a MongoDB document with a specific string, use $match in MongoDB. Let us create a collection with documents −

> db.demo424.insert(
...    {
...
...       "Information" : [
...          {
...             id:10,
...             Name:"Chris"
...          },
...          {
...             id:11,
...             Name:"David"
...          }
...       ]
...    }
... )
WriteResult({ "nInserted" : 1 })
>
> db.demo424.insert(
...    {
...
...       "Information" : [
...          {
...             id:101,
...             Name:"Mike"
...          },
...          {
...             id:102,
...             Name:"John"
...          }
...       ]
...    }
... )
WriteResult({ "nInserted" : 1 })

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

> db.demo424.find();

This will produce the following output −

{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e74eb9dbbc41e36cc3cae6a"), "Information" : [ { "id" : 10, "Name" : "Chris" }, { "id" : 11, "Name" : "David" } ] }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e74eb9ebbc41e36cc3cae6b"), "Information" : [ { "id" : 101, "Name" : "Mike" }, { "id" : 102, "Name" : "John" } ] }

Following is the query to extract a MongoDB document with a specific string −

> db.demo424.aggregate(
... [ { $match : { "Information.Name": "Chris" } } ]
... );

This will produce the following output −

{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e74eb9dbbc41e36cc3cae6a"), "Information" : [ { "id" : 10, "Name" : "Chris" }, { "id" : 11, "Name" : "David" } ] }
