MongoDB $type conditional operator

MongoDB $type operator

Describe

In this section, we will continue to discuss the conditional operator in MongoDB $type.

$type is based on the BSON type to retrieve the matching data type in the collection and return the results.

The types that can be used in MongoDB are shown in the following table:

The database name we use is "w3cschooldb" Our collection name is "col" and the following data is inserted for us.

A simple collection of "col":

>db.col.insert({
    title: 'PHP 教程', 
    description: 'PHP 是一种创建动态交互性站点的强有力的服务器端脚本语言。',
    by: 'w3cschool',
    url: 'http://www.w3cschool.cn',
    tags: ['php'],
    likes: 200
})

>db.col.insert({title: 'Java 教程', 
    description: 'Java 是由Sun Microsystems公司于1995年5月推出的高级程序设计语言。',
    by: 'w3cschool',
    url: 'http://www.w3cschool.cn',
    tags: ['java'],
    likes: 150
})

>db.col.insert({title: 'MongoDB 教程', 
    description: 'MongoDB 是一个 Nosql 数据库',
    by: 'w3cschool',
    url: 'http://www.w3cschool.cn',
    tags: ['mongodb'],
    likes: 100
})

Use the find() command to view the data:

> db.col.find()
{ "_id" : ObjectId("56066542ade2f21f36b0313a"), "title" : "PHP 教程", "description" : "PHP 是一种创建动态交互性站点的强有力的服务器端脚本语言。", "by" : "w3cschool", "url" : "http://www.w3cschool.cn", "tags" : [ "php" ], "likes" : 200 }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("56066549ade2f21f36b0313b"), "title" : "Java 教程", "description" : "Java 是由Sun Microsystems公司于1995年5月推出的高级程序设计语言。", "by" : "w3cschool", "url" : "http://www.w3cschool.cn", "tags" : [ "java" ], "likes" : 150 }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5606654fade2f21f36b0313c"), "title" : "MongoDB 教程", "description" : "MongoDB 是一个 Nosql 数据库", "by" : "w3cschool", "url" : "http://www.w3cschool.cn", "tags" : [ "mongodb" ], "likes" : 100 }

If you want to get data in the "col" collection title string, you can use the following command:

db.col.find({"title" : {$type : 2}})
