How to get documents by tags in MongoDB?
You can use $elemMatch operator for this. Let us create a collection with documents
> db.getDocumentsByTagsDemo.insertOne({"Tags":["Tag-1", "Tag-2", "Tag-3"]}); { "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : ObjectId("5c9eb4d5d628fa4220163b79") } > db.getDocumentsByTagsDemo.insertOne({"Tags":["Tag-2", "Tag-4", "Tag-5"]}); { "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : ObjectId("5c9eb4d5d628fa4220163b7a") } > db.getDocumentsByTagsDemo.insertOne({"Tags":["Tag-6", "Tag-4", "Tag-3"]}); { "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : ObjectId("5c9eb4d6d628fa4220163b7b") }
Following is the query to display all documents from a collection with the help of find() method
> db.getDocumentsByTagsDemo.find().pretty();
This will produce the following output
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5c9eb4d5d628fa4220163b79"), "Tags" : [ "Tag-1", "Tag-2", "Tag-3" ] } { "_id" : ObjectId("5c9eb4d5d628fa4220163b7a"), "Tags" : [ "Tag-2", "Tag-4", "Tag-5" ] } { "_id" : ObjectId("5c9eb4d6d628fa4220163b7b"), "Tags" : [ "Tag-6", "Tag-4", "Tag-3" ] }
Following is the query to get documents by tags
> db.getDocumentsByTagsDemo.find({Tags: { $elemMatch: { $eq: "Tag-2" } }}).pretty();
This will produce the following output
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5c9eb4d5d628fa4220163b79"), "Tags" : [ "Tag-1", "Tag-2", "Tag-3" ] } { "_id" : ObjectId("5c9eb4d5d628fa4220163b7a"), "Tags" : [ "Tag-2", "Tag-4", "Tag-5" ] }
Following is the query to find specific tags only
> db.getDocumentsByTagsDemo.find({Tags: "Tag-5"}).pretty();
This will produce the following output
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5c9eb4d5d628fa4220163b7a"), "Tags" : [ "Tag-2", "Tag-4", "Tag-5" ] }
