$all

The $all operator in Amazon DocumentDB is used to match documents where the value of a field is an array and contains all the specified elements, regardless of the order of the elements in the array.

Parameters

 

Using $elemMatch within an $all expression

See Using $elemMatch within an $all expression for limitations regarding the use of the $elemMatch operator within an $all expression.

 

Dollar ($) in field names

See Dollar($) and dot(.) in field names for limitations regarding querying $ prefixed fields in $all in nested objects.

Example (MongoDB Shell)

The following example demonstrates the usage of the $all operator to retrieve documents where the "Colors" field is an array that contains both "Red" and "Blue".

Create sample documents

db.example.insertMany([
  { "Item": "Pen", "Colors": ["Red", "Blue", "Green"] },
  { "Item": "Notebook", "Colors": ["Blue", "White"] },
  { "Item": "Poster Paint", "Colors": ["Red", "Yellow", "White"] }
])

Query example

db.example.find({ "Colors": { $all: ["Red", "Blue"] } }).pretty()

Output

{
  "_id" : ObjectId("6137d6c5b3a1d35e0b6ee6ad"),
  "Item" : "Pen",
  "Colors" : [ 
          "Red", 
          "Blue", 
          "Green" 
  ]
}

  const db = client.db('test');
  const collection = db.collection('example');

  const result = await collection.find({ "Colors": { $all: ["Red", "Blue"] } }).toArray();
  console.log(result);

  await client.close();
}
