Filter sub document array in Mongoose and return only matching elements












0















I've UserSchema that looks like this



const userSchema = mongoose.Schema({
email: {
type: String,
trim: true,
required: true,
unique: 1
},
password: {
type: String,
required: true,
minlength: 6
},
token: {
type: String
},
role: {
type: Number,
default: 0 // 0 is student, 1 is admin
},
files: [FileSchema],
internships: [InternshipSchema]
});


As can be seen , files and internships are subdocuments. My goal is to filter either of them based on specific input, e.g I would like to filter internships based on country.



However, I'm having a problem of returning only elements that match the search, I can only return all the elements, regardless of search filters being passed in.



I tried to refer querying-subdocument-and-returning-matching-subdocument-only, but could not get it working.



My current code looks like this



app.get("/api/getInternships", (req, res) => {
User.aggregate(
{
$match: {
"internships.country": req.query.country
}
},
{ $unwind: "internships" },
{
$match: {
"internships.country": req.query.country
}
}
);
});

          • Do we need any callback or something that will actually return the result ? Cuz if I test it like this with Postman, it has no response. I'm beginner as well, so something that might seem obvious, isn't obvious to me :P
