How to find array greater than document size in MongoDB - node.js

Question

I have schema like below
[
{
id:"111"
tags:[222,333,444,555]
},
{
id: "222"
tags:[312,345,534]
},
{
id:"333"
tags:[111,222,333,444,555]
},
]
I want to find all documents where tags array size is greater than document size returned by $match in aggregation pipeline, so in above Ex. the number of documents are 3 so i want to return all documents having tags array size greater that 3
[
{
id:"111"
tags:[222,333,444,555]
},
{
id:"333"
tags:[111,222,333,444,555]
},
]
I am using aggregation pipeline to process other info, I am stuck at how to have store document size so that i can find all tags greater than document size
below is query which i am using, i want to do it in aggregation and in one call
.aggregate([
{
"$match":{
"ids":{
"$in":[
"111",
"222",
"333"
]
}
}
})]

Facet helps you to solve this problem.
$facet helps to categorize the incoming documents. We use totalDoc for counting the document and allDocuments for getting all the documents
$arrayElemAt helps to get the first object from totalDoc where we already know that only one object should be inside the totalDoc. Because when we group it, we use _id:null
$unwind helps to de-structure the allDocuments array
Here is the code
db.collection.aggregate([
{
$facet: {
totalDoc: [
{
$group: {
_id: null,
count: {
$sum: 1
}
}
}
],
allDocuments: [
{
$project: {
tags: 1
}
}
]
}
},
{
$addFields: {
totalDoc: {
"$arrayElemAt": [
"$totalDoc",
0
]
}
}
},
{
$unwind: "$allDocuments"
},
{
$addFields: {
sizeGtDoc: {
$gt: [
{
$size: "$allDocuments.tags"
},
"$totalDoc.count"
]
}
}
},
{
$match: {
sizeGtDoc: true
}
},
{
"$replaceRoot": {
"newRoot": "$allDocuments"
}
}
])

You can try,
$match you condition
$group by null and make root array of documents and get count of root documents in count
$unwind deconstruct root array
$match tags size and count greater than or not using $expr expression match
$replaceRoot to replace root object in root
db.collection.aggregate([
{ $match: { id: { $in: ["111", "222", "333"] } } },
{
$group: {
_id: null,
root: { $push: "$$ROOT" },
count: { $sum: 1 }
}
},
{ $unwind: "$root" },
{ $match: { $expr: { $gt: [{ $size: "$root.tags" }, "$count"] } } },
{ $replaceRoot: { newRoot: "$root" } }
])

Second option:
first 2 stages $match and $group both are same as like above query,
$project to filter root array match condition if tags size and count greater than or not, this will return filtered root array
$unwind deconstruct root array
$replaceRoot replace root object to root
db.collection.aggregate([
{ $match: { id: { $in: ["111", "222", "333"] } } },
{
$group: {
_id: null,
root: { $push: "$$ROOT" },
count: { $sum: 1 }
}
},
{
$project: {
root: {
$filter: {
input: "$root",
cond: { $gt: [{ $size: "$$this.tags" }, "$count"] }
}
}
}
},
{ $unwind: "$root" },
{ $replaceRoot: { newRoot: "$root" } }
])
Playground
You can skip $unwind and $replaceRoot stages if you want because this query always return one document in root, so you can easily access like this result[0]['root'], you can save 2 stages processing and execution time.

You could use $facet to get two streams i.e. one with the filtered documents and the counts using $count. The resulting streams can then
be aggregated further with a $filter as follows to get the desired result
db.getCollection('collection').aggregate([
{ '$facet': {
'counts': [
{ '$match': { 'id': { '$in': ['111', '222', '333'] } } },
{ '$count': "numberOfMatches" }
],
'docs': [
{ '$match': { 'id': { '$in': ['111', '222', '333'] } } },
]
} },
{ '$project': {
'result': {
'$filter': {
'input': '$docs',
'cond': {
'$gt': [
{ '$size': '$$this.tags' },
{ '$arrayElemAt': ['$counts.numberOfMatches', 0] }
]
}
}
}
} }
])
