JSON object describing criteria used to select documents. The selector specifies fields in the document, and provides an expression to evaluate with the field content or other data.
The selector object must:
Be structured as valid JSON.
Contain a valid query expression.
Using a selector is significantly more efficient than using a JavaScript filter function, and is the recommended option if filtering on document attributes only.
Elementary selector syntax requires you to specify one or more fields, and the corresponding values required for those fields. You can create more complex selector expressions by combining operators.
Operators are identified by the use of a dollar sign $
prefix in the name field.
There are two core types of operators in the selector syntax:
Combination operators: applied at the topmost level of selection. They are used to combine selectors. In
addition to the common boolean operators ($and
, $or
, $not
, $nor
) there are three combination operators:
$all
, $elemMatch
, and $allMatch
. A combination operator takes a single argument. The argument is either
another selector, or an array of selectors.
Condition operators: are specific to a field, and are used to evaluate the value stored in that field. For
instance, the basic $eq
operator matches when the specified field contains a value that is equal to the
supplied argument.
