How do I search according to fields in inner classes using MongoDB db.coll.find()?
Use dot notation(.) to search in inner classes using MongoDB. Let us first create a collection with documents −
> db.searchInInnerDemo.insertOne(
... {
... "StudentFirstName" : "Robert",
... "StudentTechnicalDetails":
... {
... "StudentBackEndTechnology" : "MongoDB",
... "StudentLanguage" : "Java"
... }
... }
... );
{
"acknowledged" : true,
"insertedId" : ObjectId("5cd2dd89b64f4b851c3a13d2")
}
>
> db.searchInInnerDemo.insertOne(
... {
... "StudentFirstName" : "David",
... "StudentTechnicalDetails":
... {
... "StudentBackEndTechnology" : "MySQL",
... "StudentLanguage" : "PHP"
... }
... }
... );
{
"acknowledged" : true,
"insertedId" : ObjectId("5cd2dda3b64f4b851c3a13d3")
}Following is the query to display all documents from a collection with the help of find() method −
> db.searchInInnerDemo.find().pretty();
This will produce the following output −
{
"_id" : ObjectId("5cd2dd89b64f4b851c3a13d2"),
"StudentFirstName" : "Robert",
"StudentTechnicalDetails" : {
"StudentBackEndTechnology" : "MongoDB",
"StudentLanguage" : "Java"
}
}
{
"_id" : ObjectId("5cd2dda3b64f4b851c3a13d3"),
"StudentFirstName" : "David",
"StudentTechnicalDetails" : {
"StudentBackEndTechnology" : "MySQL",
"StudentLanguage" : "PHP"
}
}Case 1 − Query to search in inner class to match only one property −
>db.searchInInnerDemo.find({"StudentTechnicalDetails.StudentBackEndTechnology":"MongoDB"}).pretty();This will produce the following output −
{
"_id" : ObjectId("5cd2dd89b64f4b851c3a13d2"),
"StudentFirstName" : "Robert",
"StudentTechnicalDetails" : {
"StudentBackEndTechnology" : "MongoDB",
"StudentLanguage" : "Java"
}
}Case 2 − Query to search the document with scanning full field name −
>db.searchInInnerDemo.find({"StudentTechnicalDetails":{"StudentBackEndTechnology":"MongoDB","StudentLanguage":"Java"}}).pretty();This will produce the following output −
{
"_id" : ObjectId("5cd2dd89b64f4b851c3a13d2"),
"StudentFirstName" : "Robert",
"StudentTechnicalDetails" : {
"StudentBackEndTechnology" : "MongoDB",
"StudentLanguage" : "Java"
}
}
