How To Use Multiple Aggregation In Mongo In Single Query

Posted By : Vipul Pandey | 28-Feb-2018

$facet allow us to get multiple aggregation pipeline result within a single stage of response of a query.Each pipeline(sub-aggregation) has own field and add the record in an array.
To userstand this lets take an example:

Here I am adding 5 enteries to a collection users with the Array (Managers) which will contains the _id's of Managers but where the managers are not defined or exist we are leaving them blank or null.

db.users.insertMany([
  { _id: 1, name: 'Vipul', Manager: [3,5] },
  { _id: 2, name: 'Maneesh'},
  { _id: 3, name: 'Rijul', Manager: [] },
  { _id: 4, name: 'Pulkit', Manager: [3] },
  { _id: 5, name: 'Anil', Manager: [3] }
]);
{ "acknowledged" : true, "insertedIds" : [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ] }
   

To view All records :

db.users.find()
{ "_id" : 1, "name" : "Vipul", "Manager" : [ 3, 5 ] }
{ "_id" : 2, "name" : "Maneesh" }
{ "_id" : 3, "name" : "Rijul", "Manager" : [ 2 ] }
{ "_id" : 4, "name" : "Pulkit", "Manager" : [ 3 ] }
{ "_id" : 5, "name" : "Anil", "Manager" : [ 3 ] }
   

Now we are going to add a single aggregation which will fetch all the records and the name of there managers based on 2 criteria i.e on the basis of there id and on the basis of there name.

db.users.aggregate([ 
{"$unwind":{path:"$Manager"}}, 
{$lookup:{from:"users",localField:"Manager",foreignField:"_id",as :"mgr"}},
{$facet: {
"groupBy_ID": [ {$group:{_id:"$_id", data:{$push:"$mgr.name"}}}],
"groupByName":[ {$group:{_id:"$name",data:{$push:"$mgr.name"}}}]
}}
])
RESponse :
{
	"groupBy_ID" : [
		{
			"_id" : 5,
			"local" : [
				[
					"Rijul"
				]
			]
		},
		{
			"_id" : 4,
			"local" : [
				[
					"Rijul"
				]
			]
		},
		{
			"_id" : 1,
			"local" : [
				[
					"Rijul"
				],
				[
					"Anil"
				]
			]
		}
	],
	"groupByName" : [
		{
			"_id" : "Anil",
			"local" : [
				[
					"Rijul"
				]
			]
		},
		{
			"_id" : "Pulkit",
			"local" : [
				[
					"Rijul"
				]
			]
		},
		{
			"_id" : "Vipul",
			"local" : [
				[
					"Rijul"
				],
				[
					"Anil"
				]
			]
		}
	]
}
