Search for documents matching first item in an array with MongoDB?
Let us first create a collection with documents −
> db.matchingFirstItemInTheArrayDemo.insertOne( { "ClientDetails": [ { "ClientName": "Larry", "ClientAge":28 } ] } ); { "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : ObjectId("5cd7a5d26d78f205348bc636") } > db.matchingFirstItemInTheArrayDemo.insertOne( { "ClientDetails": [ { "ClientName": "Chris", "ClientAge":56, } ] } ); { "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : ObjectId("5cd7a5f56d78f205348bc637") } > db.matchingFirstItemInTheArrayDemo.insertOne( { "ClientDetails": [ { "ClientName": "Robert", "ClientAge":46, } ] } ); { "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : ObjectId("5cd7a6076d78f205348bc638") }
Following is the query to display all documents from a collection with the help of find() method −
> db.matchingFirstItemInTheArrayDemo.find().pretty();
This will produce the following output −
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5cd7a5d26d78f205348bc636"), "ClientDetails" : [ { "ClientName" : "Larry", "ClientAge" : 28 } ] } { "_id" : ObjectId("5cd7a5f56d78f205348bc637"), "ClientDetails" : [ { "ClientName" : "Chris", "ClientAge" : 56 } ] } { "_id" : ObjectId("5cd7a6076d78f205348bc638"), "ClientDetails" : [ { "ClientName" : "Robert", "ClientAge" : 46 } ] }
Following is the query to search for documents matching first item in array −
> db.matchingFirstItemInTheArrayDemo.find({"ClientDetails.0.ClientName":"Chris"});
This will produce the following output −
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5cd7a5f56d78f205348bc637"), "ClientDetails" : [ { "ClientName" : "Chris", "ClientAge" : 56 } ] }
