Avoiding Empty Curly Braces in MongoDB Aggregation-CodePudding

i'm trying to display a mongodb aggregation result via react chartjs. part of my problem is i'm not achieving the correct aggregation output in the backend.

current aggregation output which contains unwanted empty curly braces

[{
  "_id":"Fubar",
  "A_set":[{"A":"Y"},{"A":"N"},{},{}],
  "A_count_set":[{"A_count":1},{"A_count":1},{},{}],
  "B_set":[{},{},{"B":"N"},{"B":"Y"}],
  "B_count_set":[{},{},{"B_count":1},{"B_count":1}]},
{
"_id":"Fubar2",
  "A_set":[{"A":"Y"},{"A":"N"},{},{}],
  "A_count_set":[{"A_count":1},{"A_count":1},{},{}],
  "B_set":[{},{},{"B":"N"},{"B":"Y"}],
  "B_count_set":[{},{},{"B_count":1},{"B_count":1}]
}]

i'm trying to achieve this target aggregation output which lacks the empty curly braces

[{
  "_id":"Fubar",
  "A_set":[{"A":"Y"},{"A":"N"}],
  "A_count_set":[{"A_count":1},{"A_count":1}],
  "B_set":[{"B":"N"},{"B":"Y"}],
  "B_count_set":[{"B_count":1},{"B_count":1}]},
{
"_id":"Fubar2",
  "A_set":[{"A":"Y"},{"A":"N"}],
  "A_count_set":[{"A_count":1},{"A_count":1}],
  "B_set":[{"B":"N"},{"B":"Y"}],
  "B_count_set":[{"B_count":1},{"B_count":1}]
}]

        }}
      ]
    }},

use $filter in the end of pipeline

db.collection.aggregate([
  {
    "$set": {
      "A_set": {
        "$filter": {
          "input": "$A_set",
          "as": "x",
          "cond": { "$ne": [ "$$x", {}] }
