$push (aggregation)¶

Definition¶
- $push¶
Returns an array of all values that result from applying an expression to each document in a group of documents that share the same group by key.
$push is only available in the $group stage.
$push has the following syntax:
{ $push: <expression> }
For more information on expressions, see Expressions.
Example¶
Consider a sales collection with the following documents:
{ "_id" : 1, "item" : "abc", "price" : 10, "quantity" : 2, "date" : ISODate("2014-01-01T08:00:00Z") }
{ "_id" : 2, "item" : "jkl", "price" : 20, "quantity" : 1, "date" : ISODate("2014-02-03T09:00:00Z") }
{ "_id" : 3, "item" : "xyz", "price" : 5, "quantity" : 5, "date" : ISODate("2014-02-03T09:05:00Z") }
{ "_id" : 4, "item" : "abc", "price" : 10, "quantity" : 10, "date" : ISODate("2014-02-15T08:00:00Z") }
{ "_id" : 5, "item" : "xyz", "price" : 5, "quantity" : 10, "date" : ISODate("2014-02-15T09:05:00Z") }
{ "_id" : 6, "item" : "xyz", "price" : 5, "quantity" : 5, "date" : ISODate("2014-02-15T12:05:10Z") }
{ "_id" : 7, "item" : "xyz", "price" : 5, "quantity" : 10, "date" : ISODate("2014-02-15T14:12:12Z") }
Grouping the documents by the day and the year of the date field, the following operation uses the $push accumulator to compute the list of items and quantities sold for each group:
db.sales.aggregate(
[
{
$group:
{
_id: { day: { $dayOfYear: "$date"}, year: { $year: "$date" } },
itemsSold: { $push: { item: "$item", quantity: "$quantity" } }
}
}
]
)
The operation returns the following results:
{
"_id" : { "day" : 46, "year" : 2014 },
"itemsSold" : [
{ "item" : "abc", "quantity" : 10 },
{ "item" : "xyz", "quantity" : 10 },
{ "item" : "xyz", "quantity" : 5 },
{ "item" : "xyz", "quantity" : 10 }
]
}
{
"_id" : { "day" : 34, "year" : 2014 },
"itemsSold" : [
{ "item" : "jkl", "quantity" : 1 },
{ "item" : "xyz", "quantity" : 5 }
]
}
{
"_id" : { "day" : 1, "year" : 2014 },
"itemsSold" : [ { "item" : "abc", "quantity" : 2 } ]
}
