I am using aggregate method in mongoDB to group but when I use $group it returns the only field which I used to group. I have tried $project but it

Answer 1

When you group data on any database, it means you want to perform accumulated operation on the required field and the other field which will not be include in accumulated operation will be used in group like

 db.collection.aggregate([{
 $group: {
   _id: { field1: "", field1: "" },
   acc: { $sum: 1 }
 }}]

here in _id object will contains all other fields which you want to hold.

for your data you can try this

db.collection.aggregate([{
    $group: {
        _id: "$name",
        rating: { $first: "$rating" },
        tags: { $first: "$tag" },
        docid: { $first: "$_id" }
    }
},
{
    $project: {
        _id: "$docid",
        name: "$_id",
        rating: 1,
        tags: 1
    }
}])
