Find MongoDB documents where elements of an array have a specific value?



To match documents in MongoDB, use $elemMatch. Let us first create a collection with documents −

> db.demo15.insertOne({"Details":[{"Score":56},{"Score":78}]}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e0f7806d7df943a7cec4fab") } > db.demo15.insertOne({"Details":[{"Score":86},{"Score":86}]}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e0f7817d7df943a7cec4fac") } > db.demo15.insertOne({"Details":[{"Score":97},{"Score":85}]}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e0f7823d7df943a7cec4fad") }

Following is the query to display all documents from a collection with the help of find() method −

> db.demo15.find();

This will produce the following output −

{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e0f7806d7df943a7cec4fab"), "Details" : [ { "Score" : 56 }, { "Score" : 78 } ] } { "_id" : ObjectId("5e0f7817d7df943a7cec4fac"), "Details" : [ { "Score" : 86 }, { "Score" : 86 } ] } { "_id" : ObjectId("5e0f7823d7df943a7cec4fad"), "Details" : [ { "Score" : 97 }, { "Score" : 85 } ] }

Here is the query to find documents where all elements of an array have a specific value −

> db.demo15.find({ ...    "Details.Score" : { ...       $exists : true ...    }, ...    "Details" : { ...       $not : { ...          $elemMatch : { ...             "Score" : { ...                $ne : 86 ...             } ...          } ...       } ...    } ... });

This will produce the following output −

{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e0f7817d7df943a7cec4fac"), "Details" : [ { "Score" : 86 }, { "Score" : 86 } ] }
