MongoDB Aggregate - Query to get most recent item in group










0















Given this source data:



 "_id" : ObjectId("1"), "productID" : 1, "amount" : 1, "date" : ISODate("2017-02-01T00:00:00Z") 
"_id" : ObjectId("2"), "productID" : 2, "amount" : 2, "date" : ISODate("2017-02-01T00:00:00Z")
"_id" : ObjectId("3"), "productID" : 3, "amount" : 3, "date" : ISODate("2017-02-01T00:00:00Z")
"_id" : ObjectId("4"), "productID" : 4, "amount" : 4, "date" : ISODate("2017-02-01T00:00:00Z")
"_id" : ObjectId("5"), "productID" : 1, "amount" : 11, "date" : ISODate("2017-02-02T00:00:00Z")
"_id" : ObjectId("6"), "productID" : 2, "amount" : 22, "date" : ISODate("2017-02-02T00:00:00Z")
"_id" : ObjectId("7"), "productID" : 2, "amount" : 222, "date" : ISODate("2017-02-03T00:00:00Z")
"_id" : ObjectId("8"), "productID" : 3, "amount" : 33, "date" : ISODate("2017-02-03T00:00:00Z")


I want to get the most recent record for each product (keyed on productID) and print out the full row for that record per product sorted on productID. So my desired output from above would be:



 "_id" : ObjectId("5"), "productID" : 1, "amount" : 11, "date" : ISODate("2017-02-02T00:00:00Z") 
"_id" : ObjectId("7"), "productID" : 2, "amount" : 222, "date" : ISODate("2017-02-03T00:00:00Z")
"_id" : ObjectId("8"), "productID" : 3, "amount" : 33, "date" : ISODate("2017-02-03T00:00:00Z")
"_id" : ObjectId("4"), "productID" : 4, "amount" : 4, "date" : ISODate("2017-02-01T00:00:00Z")


I'm new to Mongo and having problems, managed to get most of it but couldn't delete the other older records for each product.

          You can use $last and $first operators. Note that you should sort documents before grouping:



          db.so.aggregate([
          $sort: productID:-1, date: -1 ,

          $group:
          _id : "$productID",
          date: $last: "$date" ,
          amount: $first: "$amount" ,
          id : $first: "$_id"

          ,
          $project: _id: "$id", productId: "$_id", date: 1, amount: 1
          ])


          Output:




          "_id" : 5,
          "productId" : 1,
          "date" : ISODate("2017-02-01T00:00:00.000Z"),
          "amount" : 11
          ,

          "_id" : 7,
          "productId" : 2,
          "date" : ISODate("2017-02-01T00:00:00.000Z"),
          "amount" : 222
          ,

          "_id" : 8,
          "productId" : 3,
          "date" : ISODate("2017-02-01T00:00:00.000Z"),

          • Thanks that's a big help. One thing though - I am not aware of the full document schema in advance (ie this is generic)- so I know I will have a fixed date field and a id field (date, productID) but there will be many other fields that are undefined at runtime - how could I return all the fields from an object without specifying them.

          • Thanks that's a big help. One thing though - I am not aware of the full document schema in advance (ie this is generic)- so I know I will have a fixed date field and a id field (date, productID) but there will be many other fields that are undefined at runtime - how could I return all the fields from an object without specifying them.
