MongoDb c# driver find item in array by field value

问题

i found the way to check is the value contains in simple array :

var filter = Builders<Post>.Filter.AnyEq(x => x.Tags, "mongodb");

But how to find a complex item with many fields by a concrete field ? I found the way to write it via the dot notation approach with BsonDocument builder, but how can i do it with typed lambda notations ?

upd

i think it some kind of

builderInst.AnyIn(p => p.ComplexCollection.Select(ml => ml.Id), mlIds)

but can't check right now, is anyone could help ?

回答1:

There is ElemMatch

var filter = Builders<Post>.Filter.ElemMatch(x => x.Tags, x => x.Name == "test");
var res = await collection.Find(filter).ToListAsync()

Here's an example that returns a single complex item from an array (using MongoDB.Driver v2.5.0):

Simple Data Model

public class Zoo
{
    public List<Animal> Animals { get; set; }
}

public class Animal
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
}

Option 1 (Aggregation)

public Animal FindAnimalInZoo(string animalName)
{
    var zooWithAnimalFilter = Builders<Zoo>.Filter
        .ElemMatch(z => z.Animals, a => a.Name == animalName);

    return _db.GetCollection<Zoo>("zoos").Aggregate()
        .Match(zooWithAnimalFilter)
        .Project<Animal>(
            Builders<Zoo>.Projection.Expression<Animal>(z => 
                z.Animals.FirstOrDefault(a => a.Name == animalName)))
        .FirstOrDefault(); // or .ToList() to return multiple
}

Option 2 (Filter & Linq) This was about 5x slower for me

public Animal FindAnimalInZoo(string animalName)
{
    // Same as above
    var zooWithAnimalFilter = Builders<Zoo>.Filter
        .ElemMatch(z => z.Animals, a => a.Name == animalName);

    var zooWithAnimal = _db.GetCollection<Zoo>("zoos")
        .Find(zooWithAnimalFilter)
        .FirstOrDefault();

    return zooWithAnimal.Animals.FirstOrDefault(a => a.Name == animalName);
}

You need the $elemMatch operator. You could use Builders<T>.Filter.ElemMatch or an Any expression:

Find(x => x.Tags.Any(t => t.Name == "test")).ToListAsync()

As of the 2.4.2 release of the C# drivers, the IFindFluent interface can be used for querying on array element. ElemMatch cannot be used on an array of strings directly, whereas the find interface will work on either simple or complex types (e.g. 'Tags.Name') and is strongly typed.

            FilterDefinitionBuilder<Post> tcBuilder = Builders<Post>.Filter;
            FilterDefinition<Post> tcFilter = tcBuilder.Eq("Tags","mongodb") & tcBuilder.Eq("Tags","asp.net");
               ...
            await myCollection.FindAsync(tcFilter);

Linq driver uses the aggregation framework, but for a query with no aggregation operators a find is faster.

Note that this has been broken in previous versions of the driver so the answer was not available at the time of original posting.
