need help writing aggregated query with grouping multiple fields - node.js

Question

I am new to using mongodb and mongoose for my backend stack and Im having a hard time getting from SQL to NoSQL when it comes to query building.
I have an array of object that looks like this:
{
timestamp: "12313113",
symbol: "XY",
amount: 121212
value: 24324234
}
I want to query the collection to get the following output grouped by symbol:
{
symbol: xy,
occurences: 1231
summedAmount: 2131231
summedValue: 23131313
}
Could anyone tell me how to do it using aggregate on the Model? My timestamp filtering works already, but the grouping throws errors
let result = await TransactionEvent.aggregate([
{
$match : {
timestamp : { $gte: new Date(Date.now() - INTERVALS[timeframe]) }
}
},
{
$group : {
what to do in here
}
]);
Lets say I have another field in my object with a key of "direction" that can either be "IN" our "OUT". How could I also group the occurences of these values?
Expected output
{
symbol: xy,
occurences: 1231
summedAmount: 2131231
summedValue: 23131313
in: occurrences where direction property is "IN"
out: occurences where direction property is "OUT"
}

In MongoDB's $group stage, the _id key is mandatory and
it should be the keys which you want to be merged (It's symbol in your case).
Make sure that you pre-fix it with a `$ sign since you are referencing a key in your document.
Following the _id key, you can add all the additional operations to be performed for the required keys. In your specific use case, use $sum to add values to the user-defined key.
Note: Use "$sum": 1 to add 1 for each occurences ans "$sum": "$<Key-Name>" to add existing key's value.
Below code should be your $group stage
{
"$group": {
"_id": "$symbol", // Group by key (Use Sub-Object to group by multiple keys
"occurences": {"$sum": 1}, // Add `1` for each occurences
"summedAmount": {"$sum": "$amount"}, // Add `amount` values of grouped data
"summedValue": {"$sum": "$value"}, // Add `value` values of grouped data
}
}
Comment if you have any additional doubts.

You use $group and $sum
db.collection.aggregate([
{
"$group": {
"_id": "$symbol",
"summbedAmount": {
"$sum": "$amount"
},
"summbedValue": {
"$sum": "$value"
},
"occurences": {
$sum: 1
}
}
}
])

Update 1
you can use $cond to check condition.
First parameter what is the condition
Second parameter - what we need to do if the condition is true (We need to increase by 1 if condition true)
Third parameter - what we need to do if the condition is false (No need to increase anything)
Here is the code
db.collection.aggregate([
{
"$group": {
"_id": "$symbol",
"summbedAmount": { "$sum": "$amount" },
"summbedValue": { "$sum": "$value" },
"occurences": { $sum: 1 },
in: {
$sum: {
$cond: [ { $eq: [ "$direction", "in" ] }, 1, 0 ]
}
},
out: {
$sum: {
$cond: [ { $eq: [ "$direction", "out" ] }, 1, 0 ] }
}
}
}
])
