So first I have a query that finds books that has been borrowed by user, it will search using the Borrow model
const bookqueryinitial = await Borrow.find({borrower_Id : String(_id), borrowStatus: req.query.status}).sort({"borrowDate": -1 }).skip(skip).limit(pageSize);
it will return results like this
[
{
_id: new ObjectId("628ebcc10944a1223397b057"),
borrower_Id: '6278d1b6b4b7659470572e19',
borrowedbook_Id: '62710ac63ad1bfc6d1703162',
borrowStatus: 'pending',
borrowDate: 2022-05-25T23:33:21.849Z,
__v: 0
},
{
_id: new ObjectId("628d9c0b9a3dc72f4aa72f1a"),
borrower_Id: '6278d1b6b4b7659470572e19',
borrowedbook_Id: '62710ac63ad1bfc6d170314d',
borrowStatus: 'pending',
borrowDate: 2022-05-25T03:01:31.416Z,
__v: 0
}
]
next is I will map through the borrowedbook_Ids of the result and store them in an array
const booksinsidequery = bookqueryinitial.map(bookids=>{
return bookids.borrowedbook_Id
})
then I will search the ids that is stored in array and search for those ids in the Book model
const bookquery = await Book.find({ '_id': { $in: booksinsidequery } });
\\and the result is somethign like this
[
{
_id: new ObjectId("62710ac63ad1bfc6d170314d"),
title: "Girl who kicked the Hornet's Nest",

{

}
]
Now before sending the result of the query to the client side, I want to bind my initial queries from Borrow model to my Book model and the final result should be like this
[
{
_id: new ObjectId("62710ac63ad1bfc6d170314d"),
title: "Girl who kicked the Hornet's Nest",
author: 'Larsson, Steig',

},
{
_id: new ObjectId("62710ac63ad1bfc6d1703162"),

]
How can I attain these results?
CodePudding user response:
You can achieve this with the aggregation framework that MongoDB provides.
Based on your data here is an example: https://mongoplayground.net/p/DQJIbcqBDKM
Lookup : the operator helps you to join data between different collections and the matched data will be in an array. In this case, called borrows
Unwind : will create a document per item on a specified array
Addfields : Allows you to create new attributes, in this case, the two that you wanted "borrowStatus" and "borrowDate"
Project : this operator allows you to hide or show data in the next stage. In this case, 0 means that we will hide a specific attribute
