How to return only value of a field in MongoDB?
In order to return only value of a field in MongoDB, you need to write a query and use forEach loop. Let us first create a collection with documents
> db.returnOnlyValueOfFieldDemo.insertOne({"ClientName":"Larry"});
{
"acknowledged" : true,
"insertedId" : ObjectId("5c9ea537d628fa4220163b6e")
}
> db.returnOnlyValueOfFieldDemo.insertOne({"ClientName":"Chris"});
{
"acknowledged" : true,
"insertedId" : ObjectId("5c9ea53bd628fa4220163b6f")
}
> db.returnOnlyValueOfFieldDemo.insertOne({"ClientName":"Robert"});
{
"acknowledged" : true,
"insertedId" : ObjectId("5c9ea541d628fa4220163b70")
}
> db.returnOnlyValueOfFieldDemo.insertOne({"ClientName":"Ramit"});
{
"acknowledged" : true,
"insertedId" : ObjectId("5c9ea549d628fa4220163b71")
}Following is the query to display all documents from a collection with the help of find() method
> db.returnOnlyValueOfFieldDemo.find().pretty();
This will produce the following output
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5c9ea537d628fa4220163b6e"), "ClientName" : "Larry" }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5c9ea53bd628fa4220163b6f"), "ClientName" : "Chris" }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5c9ea541d628fa4220163b70"), "ClientName" : "Robert" }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5c9ea549d628fa4220163b71"), "ClientName" : "Ramit" }Following is the query to return only value of a field in MongoDB
> var output = []
> db.returnOnlyValueOfFieldDemo.find().forEach(function(document) {output.push(document.ClientName) })In order to get value of a field in MongoDB, you need to write variable name output at the Mongo shell (as we know the value is stored in output array). Following is the query
> output
This will produce the following output
[ "Larry", "Chris", "Robert", "Ramit" ]
