'MongoDB lookup with multiple nested levels
In my application, I have a section of comments and replies under some documents. Here's how my database schema looks like
db.updates.insertOne({
"_id": "62347813d28412ffd82b551d",
"documentID": "17987e64-f848-40f3-817e-98adfd9f4ecd",
"stream": [
{
"id": "623478134c449b218b68f636",
"type": "comment",
"text": "Hey @john, we got a problem",
"authorID": "843df3dbbdfc62ba2d902326",
"taggedUsers": [
"623209d2ab26cfdbbd3fd348"
],
"replies": [
{
"id": "623478284c449b218b68f637",
"type": "reply",
"text": "Not sure, let's involve @jim here",
"authorID": "623209d2ab26cfdbbd3fd348",
"taggedUsers": [
"26cfdbbd3fd349623209d2ab"
]
}
]
}
]
})
db.users.insertMany([
{
"_id": "843df3dbbdfc62ba2d902326",
"name": "Manager"
},
{
"_id": "623209d2ab26cfdbbd3fd348",
"name": "John"
},
{
"_id": "26cfdbbd3fd349623209d2ab",
"name": "Jim"
},
])
I want to join those two collections, and replace user ids with complete user information on all levels. So the final JSON should look like this
{
"_id": "62347813d28412ffd82b551d",
"documentID": "17987e64-f848-40f3-817e-98adfd9f4ecd",
"stream": [
{
"id": "623478134c449b218b68f636",
"type": "comment",
"text": "Hey @john, we got a problem",
"author": {
"_id": "843df3dbbdfc62ba2d902326",
"name": "Manager"
},
"taggedUsers": [
{
"_id": "623209d2ab26cfdbbd3fd348",
"name": "John"
}
],
"replies": [
{
"id": "623478284c449b218b68f637",
"type": "reply",
"text": "Not sure, let's involve @jim here",
"author": {
"_id": "623209d2ab26cfdbbd3fd348",
"name": "John"
},
"taggedUsers": [
{
"_id": "26cfdbbd3fd349623209d2ab",
"name": "Jim"
}
]
}
]
}
]
}
I know how to do the $lookup on the top-level fields, including pipelines, but how can I do with the nested ones?
