To fetch a specific element, iterate with forEach(). Let us create a collection with documents −
> db.demo742.insertOne({ "userDetails": [ { "userName":"Robert", "CountryName":"UK" }, { "userName":"David", "CountryName":"AUS" } ]} );
{
"acknowledged" : true,
"insertedId" : ObjectId("5ead790b57bb72a10bcf0677")
}Display all documents from a collection with the help of find() method −
> db.demo742.find().pretty();
This will produce the following output −
{
"_id" : ObjectId("5ead790b57bb72a10bcf0677"),
"userDetails" : [
{
"userName" : "Robert",
"CountryName" : "UK"
},
{
"userName" : "David",
"CountryName" : "AUS"
}
]
}Following is the query to get element from an array −
> var ListOfCountryName= {};
> db.demo742.find({}).forEach(function(doc) {
... doc.userDetails.forEach(function (d){
... ListOfCountryName[d.CountryName] =d.CountryName;
... });
... }
... )
> printjson(ListOfCountryName);This will produce the following output −
{ "UK" : "UK", "AUS" : "AUS" }
