How can I query the smoothies that have apple in them? (below is a collection with 3 documents)
_id => 1
name => 'best smoothie'
ingredients => Array
(
[0] => apple
[1] => raspberry
[2] => orange
[3] => banana
)
_id => 2
name => 'summer smoothie'
ingredients => Array
(
[0] => lemon
[1] => mint
)
_id => 3
name => 'yogurt smoothie'
ingredients => Array
(
[0] => apple
[1] => blueberry
)
From the documentation:
If you simply run the below query MongoDB is smart enough to figure out what you're trying to do.
Mongo will see that ingredients is a list and only return documents that contain "apple" some where in that list.
Why do people write scalable applications for smoothies?
db.find({"ingredients":{$in: "apple"}});
