How to limit the amount of characters returned from a field in a MongoDB?
To limit the amount of characters returned from a field, use $substr in MongoDB. Let us create a collection with documents −
> db.demo233.insertOne({"Paragraph":"My Name is John Smith.I am learning MongoDB database"});
{
"acknowledged" : true,
"insertedId" : ObjectId("5e41877df4cebbeaebec5146")
}
> db.demo233.insertOne({"Paragraph":"David Miller is a good student and learning Spring and Hibernate Framework."});
{
"acknowledged" : true,
"insertedId" : ObjectId("5e4187d7f4cebbeaebec5147")
}Display all documents from a collection with the help of find() method −
> db.demo233.find().pretty();
This will produce the following output −
{
"_id" : ObjectId("5e41877df4cebbeaebec5146"),
"Paragraph" : "My Name is John Smith.I am learning MongoDB database"
}
{
"_id" : ObjectId("5e4187d7f4cebbeaebec5147"),
"Paragraph" : "David Miller is a good student and learning Spring and Hibernate Framework."
}Following is the query to limit the amount of characters returned from a field in MongoDB −
> db.demo233.aggregate(
... [
... {
... $project:
... {
... Paragraph: { $substr: [ "$Paragraph", 0, 10] }
...
... }
...} ] )This will produce the following output −
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e41877df4cebbeaebec5146"), "Paragraph" : "My Name is" }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e4187d7f4cebbeaebec5147"), "Paragraph" : "David Mill" }
