How to make a unique field in MongoDB?
To make a unique field in MongoDB, use unique − true. Let us create a collection with documents −
> db.demo82.createIndex({"EmployeeName":1},{unique:true});
{
"createdCollectionAutomatically" : true,
"numIndexesBefore" : 1,
"numIndexesAfter" : 2,
"ok" : 1
}
> db.demo82.insertOne({"EmployeeName":"Chris"});
{
"acknowledged" : true,
"insertedId" : ObjectId("5e2bfb1b71bf0181ecc422a0")
}
> db.demo82.insertOne({"EmployeeName":"David"});
{
"acknowledged" : true,
"insertedId" : ObjectId("5e2bfb1f71bf0181ecc422a1")
}
> db.demo82.insertOne({"EmployeeName":"Chris"});

}

@(shell):1:1Display all documents from a collection with the help of find() method −
> db.demo82.find();
This will produce the following output. Since, we use unique − true above, therefore the duplicate values won’t get insert −
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e2bfb1b71bf0181ecc422a0"), "EmployeeName" : "Chris" }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e2bfb1f71bf0181ecc422a1"), "EmployeeName" : "David" }
