MongoDB query (aggregation framework) to match a specific field value


To match a specific field value, use a $match in MongoDB aggregation. Let us create a collection with documents −

> db.demo555.insertOne({"CountryName":"US"});{
   "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e8f21bf54b4472ed3e8e85f")
}
> db.demo555.insertOne({"CountryName":"UK"});{
   "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e8f21c254b4472ed3e8e860")
}
> db.demo555.insertOne({"CountryName":"US"});{
   "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e8f21c354b4472ed3e8e861")
}
> db.demo555.insertOne({"CountryName":"AUS"});{
   "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e8f21c554b4472ed3e8e862")
}
> db.demo555.insertOne({"CountryName":"US"});{
   "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e8f21c754b4472ed3e8e863")
}

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

> db.demo555.find();

This will produce the following output: −

{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e8f21bf54b4472ed3e8e85f"), "CountryName" : "US" }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e8f21c254b4472ed3e8e860"), "CountryName" : "UK" }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e8f21c354b4472ed3e8e861"), "CountryName" : "US" }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e8f21c554b4472ed3e8e862"), "CountryName" : "AUS" }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e8f21c754b4472ed3e8e863"), "CountryName" : "US" }

Following is the query to match a specific field value −

> db.demo555.aggregate([
...    {$match: {CountryName: 'US'}},
...    {$group: {_id: null, Total: {$sum: 1}}}
... ])

This will produce the following output −

{ "_id" : null, "Total" : 3 }
