MongoDB query using WHERE and IN clause


I need to fetch data from mongodb similer to the below sql query:

select * from ar_pages where (slug='ettarc' or id in ('1','2','3','4'))

Which uses one search condition and another with IN clause (fetch pages with specified slug and pages with list of ids)

I'm using Node Sails framework: I have tried below code: but it will not give the expected result

let listing = await Mymodel.find({
   $or: [{
      id: {
        $in: ['5cxxxx90xxxx2e23xxxxxxxx', '5cxxxx18xxxx2e81xxxxxxxx']
      }
   }, {
      user_id: 'xxxxxxxxx'
   }]
});

The above code returns below error on execution:

MongoError: $or must be an array

Mongo DB Document sample:

{
    "_id" : ObjectId("5d286f93c04a685616627095"),
    "title" : "My First Page",
    "description" : "My First Page Contents",
    "user_id" : "5c80f410c1b9eb3d8fbf541c",
    "status" : "active",
    "createdAt" : 1562931091686.0,
    "updatedAt" : 1563528420160.0,
    "is_imported" : false,
    "background_img" : "",
    "background_color" : "",
    "logo" : "",
    "media_map" : null
}

Solution

  • Try this

    db.ar_pages.find({
    
        "$or": [{
            "slug" : 'ettarc' 
        },{ "id": {"$in":  ['1','2','3','4']}
        }]
    });
    

    For Sails Framework use this:

    db.ar_pages.find({
        or: [
           { 
              "slug" : 'ettarc' 
           }, {
              "id": {
                 in:  ['1','2','3','4']
              }
           }
        ]
    });
