$and - Amazon DocumentDB
Example (MongoDB Shell)Code examples

$and

The $and operator in Amazon DocumentDB is used to combine multiple expressions and evaluate them as a single condition. It returns true if all the provided expressions evaluate to true, and false otherwise. This operator is useful for applying multiple criteria to a query.

Parameters

  • expression1: A required expression that evaluates to a boolean value.

  • expression2: A required expression that evaluates to a boolean value.

  • ...: Additional required expressions that evaluate to boolean values.

Example (MongoDB Shell)

The following example demonstrates the use of the $and operator to find all documents in the "users" collection where the "age" field is greater than 18 and the "status" field is "active".

Create sample documents

db.users.insertMany([
  { name: "John", age: 25, status: "active" },
  { name: "Jane", age: 17, status: "active" },
  { name: "Bob", age: 30, status: "inactive" },
  { name: "Alice", age: 22, status: "active" }
]);

Query example

db.users.find({
  $and: [
    { age: { $gt: 18 } },
    { status: "active" }
  ]
});

Output

[
  { "_id" : ObjectId("614e3c4b63f5892e7c4e2345"), "name" : "John", "age" : 25, "status" : "active" },
  { "_id" : ObjectId("614e3c4b63f5892e7c4e2347"), "name" : "Alice", "age" : 22, "status" : "active" }
]

  const users = db.collection('users');

  const activeUsersOlderThan18 = await users.find({
    $and: [
      { age: { $gt: 18 } },
      { status: 'active' }
    ]
  }).toArray();

  console.log(activeUsersOlderThan18);
  await client.close();
}

findActiveUsersOlderThan18();
Python
from pymongo import MongoClient

    db = client['test']
    users = db['users']

    active_users_older_than_18 = list(users.find({
        '$and': [
            {'age': {'$gt': 18}},
            {'status': 'active'}
        ]
    }))

    print(active_users_older_than_18)
    client.close()
