Find documents where field value matches an array element - MongoDB Native Driver

Question

I want to fetch all documents from a collection where a document property has the value of an array element.

For instance, I have a collection where all documents have a property named ".foreignKey" and I want to find all documents where .foreignKey matches one of the elements of an array named "foreignKeys".

The code that I have currently have looks like this:

const foreignKeys = [0,10,100,500]
const result = await getAppDatabase().collection("Collection")).find({
                   foreignKey: foreignKeys
               }).toArray() 

Result must have documents where .foreignKey is either 0, 10, 100 or 500.

The code that I've provided does not work and I cannot seem to find an efficient solution to my problem. Thanks a lot for any help.

Answer 1

You could use $in or $or

Recommendation is $in for your case

Refer

When using $or with that are equality checks for the value of the same field, use the $in operator instead of the $or operator.

await getAppDatabase().collection("Collection")).find({
       ".foreignKey": { "$in": foreignKeys}}).toArray()
