Make nested queries in MongoDB 4 to fetch a specific document


For nested queries, let us first create a collection with documents −

> db.demo492.insertOne({
...    "ProductDetails" :
...    {
...       "StockDetails" : [
...          { "ProductName" : "Product-1" },
...          {"ProductName" : "Product-2"},
...          { "ProductName" : "Product-3"}
...
...       ]
...
...    }
... });
{
   "acknowledged" : true,
   "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e849db8b0f3fa88e22790c2")
}
>
>
>
> db.demo492.insertOne({
...    "ProductDetails" :
...    {
...       "StockDetails" : [
...          { "ProductName" : "Product-4" },
...          {"ProductName" : "Product-5"},
...          { "ProductName" : "Product-6"}
...
...       ]
...
...    }
... });
{
   "acknowledged" : true,
   "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e849dceb0f3fa88e22790c3")
}

Display all documents from a collection with the help of find() method −

> db.demo492.find();

This will produce the following output −

{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e849db8b0f3fa88e22790c2"), "ProductDetails" : { "StockDetails" : [ {
"ProductName" : "Product-1" }, { "ProductName" : "Product-2" }, { "ProductName" : "Product3" } ] } }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e849dceb0f3fa88e22790c3"), "ProductDetails" : { "StockDetails" : [ {
"ProductName" : "Product-4" }, { "ProductName" : "Product-5" }, { "ProductName" : "Product6" } ] } }

Following displays nested queries in MongoDB using dot notation to fetch a specific document −

> db.demo492.find({ "ProductDetails.StockDetails.ProductName":"Product-1"});

This will produce the following output −

{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e849db8b0f3fa88e22790c2"), "ProductDetails" : { "StockDetails" : [ {
"ProductName" : "Product-1" }, { "ProductName" : "Product-2" }, { "ProductName" : "Product3" } ] } }
