Query with filter builder on nested array using MongoDB C# driver

Query with filter builder on nested array using MongoDB C# driver

To query a nested array in MongoDB using the C# driver, you can use the Filter method of the Builders class to build a filter that includes an element match against the nested array.

Here's an example of how to build a filter that matches documents that have an element in the nestedArray field that has a subField value of "value":

var filter = Builders<MyDocument>.Filter.ElemMatch(d => d.nestedArray, n => n.subField == "value");

In this example, MyDocument is the type of the documents in your collection. The Builders<MyDocument>.Filter property is an instance of the FilterDefinitionBuilder<MyDocument> class, which provides methods for building filters.

The ElemMatch method takes two lambda expressions as parameters. The first lambda expression specifies the field to match against (d => d.nestedArray), and the second lambda expression specifies the match condition (n => n.subField == "value").

The subField property in this example is assumed to be a property of the elements in the nestedArray field. You can replace this with the name of the property that you want to match against.

Once you have built the filter, you can use it with the Find method of your IMongoCollection<MyDocument> instance to retrieve matching documents from your collection:

var documents = collection.Find(filter).ToList();

In this example, collection is an instance of IMongoCollection<MyDocument> representing your collection. The Find method takes a filter as a parameter and returns a FindIterable<MyDocument> instance. The ToList method is called on the FindIterable<MyDocument> instance to execute the query and return a list of matching documents.
