how to push an array to embedded mongo collection?












0














How can we push an array to the mongo collection?



consider I have an array



 ar = ['a','b','c'].   



  1. I used $push to update an existing document. But how to push when i am creating collection document for the first time?



  2. From the above mentioned method data stores like
    ex:



    data{
    '_id': some_id,
    'array': Array
    0 : 'a',
    1 : 'b',
    2 : 'c'
    }



But how to store like this?



data{
'_id': some_id,
'array': ['a','b','c']
}


If second is possible, which one can be extracted easily?

  • I think you will find they are the same thing. The above example looks like the output in a GUI like Compass or Robo3T. Look at the document in the mongo shell or something similar. $push only creates/appends to "arrays", and nothing else.
