How to sum the length of particular array field present in all objects inside an array in mongodb do

This is the sample of my mongodb document( try to use jsonformatter.com to analyse it):

{"_id":"6278686","playerName":"Rohit Lal","tournamentId":"197831","score":[{"_id":"1611380","runsScored":0,"ballFaced":0,"fours":0,"sixes":0,"strikeRate":0,"oversBowled":0,"runsConceded":0,"economyRate":0,"wickets":0,"maiden":0,"howToOut":"-","catches":["Mohit Mishra"],"stumping":[],"runout":[],"participatedRunout":[]},{"_id":"1602732","runsScored":0,"ballFaced":0,"fours":0,"sixes":0,"strikeRate":0,"oversBowled":0,"runsConceded":0,"economyRate":0,"wickets":0,"maiden":0,"howToOut":"-","catches":[],"stumping":[],"runout":[],"participatedRunout":[]},{"_id":"1536514","runsScored":1,"ballFaced":3,"fours":0,"sixes":0,"strikeRate":33.33,"oversBowled":0,"runsConceded":0,"economyRate":0,"wickets":0,"maiden":0,"howToOut":"run out Sameer Baveja","catches":[],"stumping":[],"runout":[],"participatedRunout":[]},{"_id":"1536474","runsScored":2,"ballFaced":7,"fours":0,"sixes":0,"strikeRate":28.57,"oversBowled":0,"runsConceded":0,"economyRate":0,"wickets":0,"maiden":0,"howToOut":"c Rajesh b Prasad Naik","catches":[],"stumping":[],"runout":[],"participatedRunout":[]},{"_id":"1536467","runsScored":0,"ballFaced":0,"fours":0,"sixes":0,"strikeRate":0,"oversBowled":0,"runsConceded":0,"economyRate":0,"wickets":0,"maiden":0,"howToOut":"-","catches":[],"stumping":[],"runout":[],"participatedRunout":[]},{"_id":"1500825","runsScored":0,"ballFaced":0,"fours":0,"sixes":0,"strikeRate":0,"oversBowled":0,"runsConceded":0,"economyRate":0,"wickets":0,"maiden":0,"howToOut":"-","catches":[],"stumping":[],"runout":[],"participatedRunout":[]},{"_id":"1461428","runsScored":18,"ballFaced":6,"fours":1,"sixes":2,"strikeRate":300,"oversBowled":0,"runsConceded":0,"economyRate":0,"wickets":0,"maiden":0,"howToOut":"not out","catches":[],"stumping":[],"runout":[],"participatedRunout":[]},{"_id":"1461408","runsScored":0,"ballFaced":1,"fours":0,"sixes":0,"strikeRate":0,"oversBowled":0,"runsConceded":0,"economyRate":0,"wickets":0,"maiden":0,"howToOut":"c Sudhir b Vinay Kasat *vk*","catches":[],"stumping":[],"runout":[],"participatedRunout":[]},{"_id":"1451175","runsScored":0,"ballFaced":0,"fours":0,"sixes":0,"strikeRate":0,"oversBowled":0,"runsConceded":0,"economyRate":0,"wickets":0,"maiden":0,"howToOut":"-","catches":[],"stumping":[],"runout":[],"participatedRunout":[]},{"_id":"1451146","runsScored":0,"ballFaced":0,"fours":0,"sixes":0,"strikeRate":0,"oversBowled":0,"runsConceded":0,"economyRate":0,"wickets":0,"maiden":0,"howToOut":"-","catches":[],"stumping":[],"runout":[],"participatedRunout":[]},{"_id":"1392796","runsScored":0,"ballFaced":1,"fours":0,"sixes":0,"strikeRate":0,"oversBowled":0,"runsConceded":0,"economyRate":0,"wickets":0,"maiden":0,"howToOut":"c †Vinay Kedia b Lalit","catches":[],"stumping":[],"runout":[],"participatedRunout":[]}],"__v":0}

I want to sum the length of catches array field of all objects inside score array. I know, I can achieve it using aggregation framework, but I am begineer in mongodb and does not have knowledge of many aggregation operators. Here is the aggregation pipeline I have tried but it returns the number of existence of this field, not the sum of length of this array:

[
    "totalCatches": {
        $size: "$score.catches"
     }
]

CodePudding user response:

  1. $unwind - Descontruct score array field to multiple documents.
  2. $group - Group by null (for all objects), next $sum for the $size of score.catches.
db.collection.aggregate([
  {
    $unwind: "$score"
  },
  {
    $group: {
      _id: null,
      "totalCatches": {
        $sum: {
          $size: "$score.catches"
        }
      }
    }
  }
])

Sample Mongo Playground


Note: If you want the result to be based on each document (not combine all documents), then you need to change the $group's _id as:

{
    $group: {
      _id: "$_id",
      ...
   }   
}
