Inserting the current datetime in MongoDB?
To insert current datetime in MongoDB, use the $setOnInsert operator. Let us first implement the following query to create a collection with documents
>db.addCurrentDateTimeDemo.insertOne({"StudentName":"John","StudentAdmissionDate":new Date("2012-01-21") });
{
"acknowledged" : true,
"insertedId" : ObjectId("5c97ae45330fd0aa0d2fe49f")
}
>db.addCurrentDateTimeDemo.insertOne({"StudentName":"Carol","StudentAdmissionDate":new Date("2013-05-24") });
{
"acknowledged" : true,
"insertedId" : ObjectId("5c97ae54330fd0aa0d2fe4a0")
}
>db.addCurrentDateTimeDemo.insertOne({"StudentName":"Carol","StudentAdmissionDate":new Date("2019-07-26") });
{
"acknowledged" : true,
"insertedId" : ObjectId("5c97ae5f330fd0aa0d2fe4a1")
}Following is the query to display all documents from a collection with the help of find() method
> db.addCurrentDateTimeDemo.find().pretty();
This will produce the following output
{
"_id" : ObjectId("5c97ae45330fd0aa0d2fe49f"),
"StudentName" : "John",
"StudentAdmissionDate" : ISODate("2012-01-21T00:00:00Z")
}
{
"_id" : ObjectId("5c97ae54330fd0aa0d2fe4a0"),
"StudentName" : "Carol",
"StudentAdmissionDate" : ISODate("2013-05-24T00:00:00Z")
}
{
"_id" : ObjectId("5c97ae5f330fd0aa0d2fe4a1"),
"StudentName" : "Carol",
"StudentAdmissionDate" : ISODate("2019-07-26T00:00:00Z")
}Following is the query to insert current date time. We are inserting a new Student record and within that the current date time
> db.addCurrentDateTimeDemo.update( { _id: 1 }, { $set: { StudentName: "Robert" }, $setOnInsert: { StudentAdmissiondate: new Date() } }, { upsert: true } );
WriteResult({ "nMatched" : 0, "nUpserted" : 1, "nModified" : 0, "_id" : 1 })Following is the query to display all documents in order to verify that the current date time is inserted or not
> db.addCurrentDateTimeDemo.find().pretty();
This will produce the following output
{
"_id" : ObjectId("5c97ae45330fd0aa0d2fe49f"),
"StudentName" : "John",
"StudentAdmissionDate" : ISODate("2012-01-21T00:00:00Z")
}
{
"_id" : ObjectId("5c97ae54330fd0aa0d2fe4a0"),
"StudentName" : "Carol",
"StudentAdmissionDate" : ISODate("2013-05-24T00:00:00Z")
}
{
"_id" : ObjectId("5c97ae5f330fd0aa0d2fe4a1"),
"StudentName" : "Carol",
"StudentAdmissionDate" : ISODate("2019-07-26T00:00:00Z")
}
{
"_id" : 1,
"StudentAdmissiondate" : ISODate("2019-03-24T16:21:21.269Z"),
"StudentName" : "Robert"
}Look at the above sample output, we have inserted current date time, which is “2019-03-24T16:21:21.269Z”.
