MongoDB: Update element in an array where the index of the element is saved in the document

I have the following document structure.
{
_id: ...,
unique_id: 1234,
config_no: 1,
configs: [
{
data: "qwertyuiop" // random string
},
{
data: "asdfghjkl" // random string
}
]
}
I want to update value of data from one of the configs. The index of the config that needs to be updated is available in the config_no key.
Is there any way to update the value without querying the document.
This is what I am currently doing
doc = db.collection.findOne({"unique_id": 1234})
config_no = doc.config_no
db.collection.updateOne(
{"unique_id": 1234},
{"$set": {"configs."+config_no+".data": "zxcvbnm"}} //"configs.1.data"
)
Following is something what i would like to achive.
db.collection.updateOne(
{"unique_id": 1234},
{"$set": {"configs.${config_no}.data": "zxcvbnm"}}
)

You can $unwind with includeArrayIndex option. Use the index to perform conditional update and $merge back into the collection.
db.collection.aggregate([
{
$match: {
unique_id: 1234
}
},
{
"$unwind": {
path: "$configs",
includeArrayIndex: "idx"
}
},
{
$set: {
"configs.data": {
"$cond": {
"if": {
$eq: [
"$config_no",
"$idx"
]
},
"then": "zxcvbnm",
"else": "$configs.data"
}
}
}
},
{
$group: {
_id: "$_id",
config_no: {
$first: "$config_no"
},
configs: {
$push: "$configs"
},
unique_id: {
$first: "$unique_id"
}
}
},
{
"$merge": {
"into": "collection",
"on": "_id",
"whenMatched": "merge"
}
}
])

Select mongo documents whose subdoc array has duplicate field?

With a schema like this
{
"doc1": {
"items": [
{
"item_id": 1
},
{
"item_id": 2
},
{
"item_id": 3
},
]
},
"doc2": {
"items": [
{
"item_id": 1
},
{
"item_id": 2
},
{
"item_id": 1
},
]
}
}
I want to query for documents that contain a duplicate item in their items array field. A duplicate means items with the same item_id field.
So the result for the example above should return doc2 only, because it has two items with the same item_id
Something like this?
qry = {
"items": {
"$size": {
"$ne": {
"items.unique_count" # obviously this doesn't exist, not sure how to do it
}
}
}
}
result = MyDocument.find(qry)

One option similar to #rickhg12hs and your suggestions is:
db.collection.aggregate([
{$match: {
$expr: {
$ne: [
{$size: "$items"},
{$size: {
$reduce: {
input: "$items",
initialValue: [],
in: {$setUnion: ["$$value", ["$$this.item_id"]]}
}
}
}
]
}
}
}
])

Aggregation $match within a $sum

I was wondering if it was possible to somehow use the $match operator within the $sum function for aggregation.
{ "$unwind": "$info.avatarInfoList" },
{ "$unwind": "$info.avatarInfoList.equipList" },
{ "$unwind": "$info.avatarInfoList.equipList.flat.reliquarySubstats" },
{
"$project": {
"name" : "$name",
"character" : "$info.avatarInfoList.avatarId",
"artifact" : "$info.avatarInfoList.equipList.itemId",
"statValue" : {
"$sum": [
{"$match" : { "$info.avatarInfoList.equipList.flat.reliquarySubstats.appendPropId" : "FIGHT_PROP_CRITICAL_HURT" } },
{"$multiply": [2, {"$match" : { "$info.avatarInfoList.equipList.flat.reliquarySubstats.appendPropId" : "FIGHT_PROP_CRITICAL" } }]}
]
},
}
},
{ "$sort": { "statValue": -1 }},
{ '$limit' : 30 }
]).to_list(length=None)
print(data)
I want to be able to use the value of the $sum operator within the project fields somehow, I just don't really understand what the right approach would be for this.
Sample Input (may be too long):
https://www.toptal.com/developers/hastebin/ixamekaxoq.json
Sample Output:
( 2 * FIGHT_PROP_CRITICAL ) + FIGHT_PROP_CRITICAL_HURT sorted from highest to lowest for each item.
{name: hat, character: Slayer, artifact: 13, statValue : 25.6}

There are still a few ambiguities about how you want to aggregate your data, but using the full document from your link, here's one way to produce the output you want.
N.B.: Weapons in the "equipList" don't have "reliquarySubstats" so they show a "statValue" of null in the output.
db.collection.aggregate([
{"$unwind": "$info.avatarInfoList"},
{"$unwind": "$info.avatarInfoList.equipList"},
{
"$project": {
"_id": 0,
"name": 1,
"character": "$info.avatarInfoList.avatarId",
"artifact": "$info.avatarInfoList.equipList.itemId",
"statValue": {
"$reduce": {
"input": "$info.avatarInfoList.equipList.flat.reliquarySubstats",
"initialValue": 0,
"in": {
"$switch": {
"branches": [
{
"case": {"$eq": ["$$this.appendPropId", "FIGHT_PROP_CRITICAL"]},
"then": {
"$add": [
"$$value",
{"$multiply": [2, "$$this.statValue"]}
]
}
},
{
"case": {"$eq": ["$$this.appendPropId", "FIGHT_PROP_CRITICAL_HURT"]},
"then": {"$add": ["$$value", "$$this.statValue"]}
}
],
"default": "$$value"
}
}
}
}
}
},
{"$sort": {"statValue": -1}}
])
Try it on mongoplayground.net.

It's not quite clear what you want to achieve, but as mentioned you want to be using $cond here.
like so:
{
"$project": {
"statValue": {
"$sum": [
{
$cond: [
{ // if this condition is true (prop id = prop critical hurt )
$eq: [
"$info.avatarInfoList.equipList.flat.reliquarySubstats.appendPropId",
"FIGHT_PROP_CRITICAL_HURT"
]
},
{ // then use this value for the "$sum"
"$multiply": [
2,
"$info.avatarInfoList.equipList.flat.reliquarySubstats.statValue"
]
},
0 // otherwise use this value for the sum.
]
}
]
}
}

Sort an array by occurances mongodb

Is it possible to sort an array by occurrences?
For Example, given
{
"_id": {
"$oid": "60d20d342c7951852a21s53a"
},
"site": "www.xyz.ie",
"A": ["mary", "jamie", "john", "mary", "mary", "john"],
}
return
{
"_id": {
"$oid": "60d20d342c7951852a21s53a"
},
"site": "www.xyz.ie",
"A": ["mary", "jamie", "john", "mary", "mary", "john"],
"sorted_A" : ["mary","john","jamie"]
}
I am able to get it most of the way there but I cannot figure out how to join them all back together in an array.
I have been using an aggregation pipeline
Starting with $match to find the site I want
Then $unwind on with path: "$A"
Next $sortByCount on "$A"
???? I can't figure out how to group it all back together.
Here is the pipeline:
[
{
'$match': {
'site': 'www.xyz.ie'
}
}, {
'$unwind': {
'path': '$A'
}
}, {
'$sortByCount': '$A'
}, {
????
}
]

$group nu _id and A, get first site and count total elements
$sort by count in descending order
$group by only _id and get first site, and construct array of A
[
{ $match: { site: "www.xyz.ie" } },
{ $unwind: "$A" },
{
$group: {
_id: { _id: "$_id", A: "$A" },
site: { $first: "$site" },
count: { $sum: 1 }
}
},
{ $sort: { count: -1 } },
{
$group: {
_id: "$_id._id",
site: { $first: "$site" },
A: { $push: "$_id.A" }
}
}
]

Removing a list entry in a list in pyMongo

I have a database collection that has objects like this:
{
"_id": ObjectId("something"),
"name_lower": "total",
"name": "Total",
"mounts": [
[
"mount1",
"instance1"
],
[
"mount2",
"instance1"
],
[
"mount1",
"instance2"
],
[
"mount2",
"instance2"
]
]
}
Say I want to remove every mount that has the instance instance2, How would I go about doing that? I have been searching for quite a while.

You can do something like this
[
{
$unwind: "$mounts"
},
{
$match: {
"mounts": {
$ne: "instance2"
}
}
},
{
$group: {
_id: "$_id",
name: {
$first: "$name"
},
mounts: {
$push: "$mounts"
}
}
}
]
Working Mongo playground

This answer is based on #varman answer but more pythonic and efficient.
The first stage should be a $match condition to filter out documents that don't need to be updated.
Since the mounts key consists of a nested array, we have to $unwind it, so that we can remove array elements that need to be removed.
We have to apply the $match condition again to filter out the element that has to be removed.
Finally, we have to $group the pipeline by _id key, so that the documents which got $unwind in the previous stage will be groupped into a single document.
from pymongo import MongoClient
client = MongoClient("<URI-String>")
col = client["<DB-Name"]["<Collection-Name>"]
count = 0
for cursor in col.aggregate([
{
"$match": {
"mounts": {"$ne": "instance2"}
}
},
{
"$unwind": "$mounts"
},
{
"$match": {
"mounts": {"$ne": "instance2"}
}
},
{
"$group": {
"_id": "$_id",
"newMounts": {
"$push": "$mounts"
}
}
},
]):
# print(cursor)
col.update_one({
"_id": cursor["_id"]
}, {
"$set": {
"mounts": cursor["newMounts"]
}
})
count += 1
print("\r", count, end="")
print("\n\nDone!!!")
