Is it possible to rename _id field after MongoDB group aggregation?
Yes, it is possible to rename using aggregation. Let us first create a collection with documents
> db.renameIdDemo.insertOne({"StudentName":"Chris"});
{
"acknowledged" : true,
"insertedId" : ObjectId("5c9a1760353decbc2fc927c5")
}
> db.renameIdDemo.insertOne({"StudentName":"Robert"});
{
"acknowledged" : true,
"insertedId" : ObjectId("5c9a1765353decbc2fc927c6")
}
> db.renameIdDemo.insertOne({"StudentName":"David"});
{
"acknowledged" : true,
"insertedId" : ObjectId("5c9a176b353decbc2fc927c7")
}
Following is the query to display all documents from a collection with the help of find() method
> db.renameIdDemo.find();
This will produce the following output
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5c9a1760353decbc2fc927c5"), "StudentName" : "Chris" }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5c9a1765353decbc2fc927c6"), "StudentName" : "Robert" }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5c9a176b353decbc2fc927c7"), "StudentName" : "David" }
Following is the query to rename _id field:
> db.renameIdDemo.aggregate({ $project: {
... _id: 0,
... mainId: "$_id",
... count: 1,
... sum: 1
... }
... }
... );
This will produce the following output. We have renamed _id to mainId;
{ "mainId" : ObjectId("5c9a1760353decbc2fc927c5") }
{ "mainId" : ObjectId("5c9a1765353decbc2fc927c6") }
{ "mainId" : ObjectId("5c9a176b353decbc2fc927c7") }Advertisements
