How to query from two collections in mongodb using aggregate? - node.js

Question

I have the two following collections in my mongoDB:
PRODUCTS:
[
{
"_id": "5ebb0984e95e3e9e35aab3bf",
"name": "Product 1",
"brand": "ABC",
"code": "7891910000190",
"description": "Lorem Ipsum"
},
{
"_id": "5ebdb9f3d943ae000a4a9714",
"name": "Product 2",
"brand": "DEF",
"code": "7891910000190",
"description": "Lorem Ipsum"
}
]
STOCK GOODS:
[
{
"_id": "5ed0586b7f2cfe02387d0706",
"companyId": "5ed0491bf9a892a5fd9b4d9b",
"branchId": "5ed049a8f9a892a5fd9b4d9e",
"inventoryId": "5ed04d01e9e43cee79734b95",
"productId": "5ebb0984e95e3e9e35aab3bf"
},
{
"_id": "5ed058da75e4e01013f5779d",
"companyId": "5ed0491bf9a892a5fd9b4d9b",
"branchId": "5ed049a8f9a892a5fd9b4d9e",
"inventoryId": "5ed04cede9e43cee79734b93",
"productId": "5ebb0984e95e3e9e35aab3bf"
},
{
"_id": "5ed059483da3bafccb34cec3",
"companyId": "5ed0491bf9a892a5fd9b4d9b",
"branchId": "5ed049a8f9a892a5fd9b4d9e",
"inventoryId": "5ed04d01e9e43cee79734b95",
"productId": "5ebb0984e95e3e9e35aab3bf"
}
]
I want to get the follow result:
[
{
"_id": "5ed0586b7f2cfe02387d0706",
"data": {
"_id": "5ebb0984e95e3e9e35aab3bf",
"brand": "ABC",
"code": "7891910000190",
"description": "Lorem Ipsum",
"name": "Product 1",
}
},
{
"_id": "5ed059483da3bafccb34cec3",
"data": {
"_id": "5ebb0984e95e3e9e35aab3bf",
"brand": "ABC",
"code": "7891910000190",
"description": "Lorem Ipsum",
"name": "Product 1",
}
}
]
My NodeJS and MongoDB aggregate look like this:
const mongoose = require("mongoose");
const StockGoods = mongoose.model("StockGoods");
ObjectId = require("mongodb").ObjectID;
exports.getProducts = async (companyId, branchId, inventoryId) => {
const response = await StockGoods.aggregate([
{
$match: {
companyId: new ObjectId("5ed0491bf9a892a5fd9b4d9b"), // new ObjectId(companyId)
inventoryId: new ObjectId("5ed04d01e9e43cee79734b95"), // new ObjectId(inventoryId)
branchId: new ObjectId("5ed049a8f9a892a5fd9b4d9e"), // new ObjectId(branchId)
},
},
{
$lookup: {
from: "products",
localField: "productId",
foreignField: "_id",
as: "inventory_docs",
},
},
{
$project: {
data: "$inventory_docs",
},
},
{ $unwind: "$data" },
]);
return response;
};
This is the same database and the aggregate function described above, you can check this: https://mongoplayground.net/p/FRgAIfO2bwh.
But, this function aggregate does not working when I use nodejs.
My API returns nothing (empty array).
Whats wrong?

Answer 1

Issue here is the way you have stored data in collection.... StockGoods collection has companyId, inventoryId and branchIdas a string but aggregation is looking for ObjectId aee below match criteria:
$match: {
companyId: new ObjectId("5ed0491bf9a892a5fd9b4d9b"), // new ObjectId(companyId)
inventoryId: new ObjectId("5ed04d01e9e43cee79734b95"), // new
ObjectId(inventoryId)
branchId: new ObjectId("5ed049a8f9a892a5fd9b4d9e"), // new ObjectId(branchId)
},
Based on the data you store in DB either you need to update match with string.
So below Aggregation will work for you..
[
{
"$match": {
"companyId": "5ed0491bf9a892a5fd9b4d9b",
"inventoryId": "5ed04d01e9e43cee79734b95",
"branchId": "5ed049a8f9a892a5fd9b4d9e"
}
},
{
"$lookup": {
"from": "products",
"localField": "productId",
"foreignField": "_id",
"as": "inventory_docs"
}
},
{
"$project": {
"data": "$inventory_docs"
}
},
{
"$unwind": "$data"
}
]
This works you can test in Compass Aggregator tab

[RESOLVED]
The problem was in the scheme:
companyId: {
type: String,
required: true,
},
The correct is:
companyId: {
type: Schema.Types.ObjectId,
required: true,
},
