To specify an equality condition on a field that is an embedded/nested document, use the filter document eq( <field1>, <value>) where <value> is the document to match.

To specify an equality condition on a field that is an embedded/nested document, construct a filter using the Eq method:

Query on Nested Field

To specify a query condition on fields in an embedded/nested document, use dot notation ("field.nestedField").

Note

When querying using dot notation, the field and nested field must be inside quotation marks.

Specify Equality Match on a Nested Field

The following example selects all documents where the field uom nested in the size field equals "in":

• Mongo Shell
• Compass
• Python
• Java (Sync)
• Node.js
• Other
  • PHP
  • Motor
  • Java (Async)
  • C#
  • Perl
  • Ruby
  • Scala
  • Go

copy

db.inventory.find( { "size.uom": "in" } )

Copy the following filter into the Compass query bar and click Find:

copy

{ "size.uom": "in" }

copy

cursor = db.inventory.find({"size.uom": "in"})

copy

findIterable = collection.find(eq("size.uom", "in"));

copy

const cursor = db.collection('inventory').find({
  'size.uom': 'in'
});

copy

$cursor = $db->inventory->find(['size.uom' => 'in']);

copy

cursor = db.inventory.find({"size.uom": "in"})

copy

findPublisher = collection.find(eq("size.uom", "in"));

copy

var filter = Builders<BsonDocument>.Filter.Eq("size.uom", "in");
var result = collection.Find(filter).ToList();

copy

$cursor = $db->coll("inventory")->find( { "size.uom" => "in" } );

copy

client[:inventory].find('size.uom' => 'in')

copy

findObservable = collection.find(equal("size.uom", "in"))

copy

cursor, err := coll.Find(
	context.Background(),
	bson.D{{"size.uom", "in"}},
)

Specify Match using Query Operator

• Mongo Shell

A query filter document can use the query operators to specify conditions in the following form:

copy

{ <field1>: { <operator1>: <value1> }, ... }

A query filter document can use the query operators to specify conditions in the following form:

copy

{ <field1>: { <operator1>: <value1> }, ... }

A query filter document can use the query operators to specify conditions in the following form:

copy

{ <field1>: { <operator1>: <value1> }, ... }

In addition to the equality condition, MongoDB provides various query operators to specify filter conditions. Use the com.mongodb.client.model.Filters helper methods to facilitate the creation of filter documents. For example:

copy

and(gte(<field1>, <value1>), lt(<field2>, <value2>), eq(<field3>, <value3>))

A query filter document can use the query operators to specify conditions in the following form:

copy

{ <field1>: { <operator1>: <value1> }, ... }

A query filter document can use the query operators to specify conditions in the following form:

copy

[ <field1> => [ <operator1> => <value1> ], ... ]

A query filter document can use the query operators to specify conditions in the following form:

copy

{ <field1>: { <operator1>: <value1> }, ... }

In addition to the equality condition, MongoDB provides various query operators to specify filter conditions. Use the com.mongodb.client.model.Filters helper methods to facilitate the creation of filter documents. For example:

copy

and(gte(<field1>, <value1>), lt(<field2>, <value2>), eq(<field3>, <value3>))

In addition to the equality filter, MongoDB provides various query operators to specify filter conditions. Use the FilterDefinitionBuilder methods to create a filter document. For example:

copy

var builder = Builders<BsonDocument>.Filter;
builder.And(builder.Eq(<field1>, <value1>), builder.Lt(<field2>, <value2>));

A query filter document can use the query operators to specify conditions in the following form:

copy

{ <field1> => { <operator1> => <value1> }, ... }

A query filter document can use the query operators to specify conditions in the following form:

copy

{ <field1> => { <operator1> => <value1> }, ... }

In addition to the equality condition, MongoDB provides various query operators to specify filter conditions. Use the com.mongodb.client.model.Filters_ helper methods to facilitate the creation of filter documents. For example:

copy

and(gte(<field1>, <value1>), lt(<field2>, <value2>), equal(<field3>, <value3>))

The following query uses the less than operator ($lt) on the field h embedded in the size field:

• Mongo Shell
• Compass
• Python
• Java (Sync)
• Node.js
• Other
  • PHP
  • Motor
  • Java (Async)
  • C#
  • Perl
  • Ruby
  • Scala
  • Go

copy

db.inventory.find( { "size.h": { $lt: 15 } } )

Copy the following filter into the Compass query bar and click Find:

copy

{ "size.h": { $lt: 15 } }

copy

cursor = db.inventory.find({"size.h": {"$lt": 15}})

copy

findIterable = collection.find(lt("size.h", 15));

copy

const cursor = db.collection('inventory').find({
  'size.h': { $lt: 15 }
});

copy

$cursor = $db->inventory->find(['size.h' => ['$lt' => 15]]);

copy

cursor = db.inventory.find({"size.h": {"$lt": 15}})

copy

findPublisher = collection.find(lt("size.h", 15));

copy

var filter = Builders<BsonDocument>.Filter.Lt("size.h", 15);
var result = collection.Find(filter).ToList();

copy

$cursor = $db->coll("inventory")->find( { "size.h" => { '$lt' => 15 } } );

copy

client[:inventory].find('size.h' => { '$lt' =>  15 })

copy

findObservable = collection.find(lt("size.h", 15))

copy

cursor, err := coll.Find(
	context.Background(),
	bson.D{
		{"size.h", bson.D{
			{"$lt", 15},

	})
