I'm trying to use the size of an array called "empofthemonth" to sort each field returned by their amount of employee of the month wins.
Here is the insert code:
$db->users->insert(
["firstname" => "firstname1",
"lastname" => "test",
"email" => "test@email.org.uk",
"keyinfo" =>
["age" => 22,
"gender" => "Male",
"yearsemployed" => 1,
"empofthemonth" => ["Apr"]]
]);
$db->users->insert(
["firstname" => "firstname2",
"lastname" => "test2",
"email" => "test@email.co.uk",
"keyinfo" =>
["age" => 24,
"gender" => "Female",
"yearsemployed" => 5,
"empofthemonth" => ["Feb", "Mar"]]
]);
$db->users->insert(
["firstname" => "firstname3",
"lastname" => "test2",
"email" => "test@email.com",
"keyinfo" =>
["age" => 31,
"gender" => "Female",
"yearsemployed" => 2,
"empofthemonth" => ["Jan", "May", "Jun"]]
]);
I realise that aggregation might be used but i cannot work out the full syntax.
To conclude the query results should be in this order:
We need to $project
our documents and return the $size
then $sort
each document by that "size" in descending order. Note that to access the array field, we need to use the "dot notation".
db.users.aggregate(
[
{ "$project": {
"firstname": 1,
"lastname": 1,
"email": 1,
"keyinfo": 1,
"sz": { "$size": "$keyinfo.empofthemonth" }
}},
{ "$sort": { "sz": -1 } }
]
)
Everything in PHP:
$db->users->aggregate(
[
[ "$project" => [
"firstname" => 1,
"lastname" => 1,
"email" => 1,
"keyinfo" => 1,
"sz" => [ "$size" => "$keyinfo.empofthemonth" ]
]],
[ "$sort" => [ "sz" => -1 ] ]
]
)
