You can update multiple documents in a collection by using the UpdateMany() method.

Tip

Read the Usage Examples to learn how to run this example.

The following example performs the following on the listingsAndReviews collection:

  • Matches documents in which the market field of the address subdocument, address.market is "Sydney"

  • Updates the price in the matched documents by 1.15 times

coll := client.Database("sample_airbnb").Collection("listingsAndReviews")
filter := bson.D{{"address.market", "Sydney"}}
// Creates instructions to update the values of the "price" field
update := bson.D{{"$mul", bson.D{{"price", 1.15}}}}
// Updates documents in which the value of the "address.market"
// field is "Sydney"
result, err := coll.UpdateMany(context.TODO(), filter, update)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
