Calculated group-by fields in MongoDB

Question

For this example from the MongoDB documentation, how do I write the query using MongoTemplate?

db.sales.aggregate(
   [
      {
        $group : {
                   


        

Answer 1

Another alternative is to use a custom aggregation operation class defined like so:

public class CustomAggregationOperation implements AggregationOperation {
    private DBObject operation;

    public CustomAggregationOperation (DBObject operation) {
        this.operation = operation;
    }

    @Override
    public DBObject toDBObject(AggregationOperationContext context) {
        return context.getMappedObject(operation);
    }
}

Then implement it in the pipeline like so:

Aggregation aggregation = newAggregation(
    new CustomAggregationOperation(
        new BasicDBObject(
            "$group",
            new BasicDBObject("_id",
                new BasicDBObject("day", new BasicDBObject("$dayOfMonth", "$date" ))
                .append("month", new BasicDBObject("$month", "$date"))
                .append("year", new BasicDBObject("$year", "$date"))
            )
            .append("totalPrice", new BasicDBObject(
                "$sum", new BasicDBObject(
                    "$multiply", Arrays.asList("$price","$quantity")
                )
            ))
            .append("averageQuantity", new BasicDBObject("$avg", "$quantity"))
            .append("count",new BasicDBObject("$sum",1))
        )
    )
)

So it's basically just an interface that is consistent with that used by the existing pipeline helpers, but instead of using other helper methods it directly takes a DBObject definition to return in pipeline construction.
