I have a MongoDB collection that has documents that look like the following:
{
"Name" : "Name1",
"AA" : [
{
"B" : {
"Name" : "Name2"
},
"CC" : [
{
"Field" : "Value"
}
]
}
]
}
I am working from C# with the 2.7 MongoDB driver.
I want to push an element to the CC array of those elements of AA that match a certain condition. I was able to do that with following code:
[TestFixture]
class TestClass
{
[Test]
public void Test()
{
var b = new B { Name = "Name2" };
var c = new C { Field = "Value2" };
var field = new StringFieldDefinition<Document>("AA.$[element].CC");
var updateDefinition = Builders<Document>
.Update
.Push(field, c);
var arrayFilterBson = new BsonDocument("element.B",
new BsonDocument("$eq", b.ToBsonDocument()));
var arrayFilter = new BsonDocumentArrayFilterDefinition<AgentRecord>(arrayFilterBson);
var documentFilter = Builders<Document>.Filter.Eq(r => r.Name, "Name1");
var updateOptions = new UpdateOptions
{
IsUpsert = false,
ArrayFilters = new ArrayFilterDefinition[] { arrayFilter }
};
var settings = new MongoClientSettings
{
Server = new MongoServerAddress("localhost", 27000)
};
var mongoClient = new MongoClient(settings);
var database = mongoClient.GetDatabase("so-question");
var collection = database.GetCollection<Document>("collection");
collection.UpdateOne(documentFilter, updateDefinition, updateOptions);
}
}
// Mapping classes
public class Document
{
public string Name { get; set; }
public A[] AA { get; set; }
}
public class A
{
public B B { get; set; }
public C[] CC { get; set; }
}
public class B
{
public string Name { get; set; }
}
public class C
{
public string Field { get; set; }
}
Is there a way to achieve the same through the typed API to avoid having to hardcode the name of the fields in definitions such as AA.$[element].CC or element.B?
I am of course worried about having to change these hard-coded expressions when the name of the properties of the classes change or for example if I make use of the [BsonElement("name")] attribute to control the name of the mapped property.
