How to push an array in MongoDB?

To push an array, use $push in MongoDB. Let us first create a collection with documents −

> db.demo399.insertOne({Name:"Chris",Age:21}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e610339fac4d418a017856d") } > db.demo399.insertOne({Name:"David",Age:22}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e610341fac4d418a017856e") } > db.demo399.insertOne({Name:"Chris",Age:21}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e610355fac4d418a017856f") } > db.demo399.insertOne({Name:"Bob",Age:23}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e61035efac4d418a0178570") } > db.demo399.insertOne({Name:"David",Age:22}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e610364fac4d418a0178571") }

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

> db.demo399.find();

This will produce the following output −

{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e610339fac4d418a017856d"), "Name" : "Chris", "Age" : 21 } { "_id" : ObjectId("5e610341fac4d418a017856e"), "Name" : "David", "Age" : 22 } { "_id" : ObjectId("5e610355fac4d418a017856f"), "Name" : "Chris", "Age" : 21 } { "_id" : ObjectId("5e61035efac4d418a0178570"), "Name" : "Bob", "Age" : 23 } { "_id" : ObjectId("5e610364fac4d418a0178571"), "Name" : "David", "Age" : 22 }

Following is the query to push an array −

> db.demo399.aggregate( ...    [ ...       { ...          $group: ...          { ...             _id: null, ...             array: { $push: { Name: "$Name", Age: "$Age" } } ...          } ...       } ...    ] ... )

This will produce the following output −

{ "_id" : null, "array" : [ { "Name" : "Chris", "Age" : 21 }, { "Name" : "David", "Age" : 22 }, { "Name" : "Chris", "Age" : 21 }, { "Name" : "Bob", "Age" : 23 }, { "Name" : "David", "Age" : 22 } ] }
