Quick Reference

This page shows the driver syntax for several MongoDB commands and links to their related reference and API documentation.

The examples on the page use the following data class to represent MongoDB documents:

data class Movie(
val title: String,
val year: Int,
val rated: String? = "Not Rated",
val genres: List<String>? = listOf()
)
Command
Syntax
Find a Document

API Documentation
collection.find(
Filters.eq(Movie::title.name, "Shrek")
).firstOrNull()
collection.find(
Filters.eq(Movie::year.name, 2004)
)
collection.insertOne(Movie("Shrek", 2001))
collection.insertMany(
listOf(
Movie("Shrek", 2001),
Movie("Shrek 2", 2004),
Movie("Shrek the Third", 2007),
Movie("Shrek Forever After", 2010),
)
)
collection.updateOne(
Filters.eq(Movie::title.name, "Shrek"),
Updates.set(Movie::rated.name, "PG")
)
collection.updateMany(
Filters.regex(Movie::title.name, "Shrek"),
Updates.set(Movie::rated.name, "PG")
)
Update an Array in a Document

collection.updateOne(
Filters.eq(Movie::title.name, "Shrek"),
Updates.addEachToSet(Movie::genres.name, listOf("Family", "Fantasy"))
)
collection.replaceOne(
Filters.eq(Movie::title.name, "Shrek"),
Movie("Kersh", 1002, "GP")
)
collection.deleteOne(
Filters.eq(Movie::title.name, "Shrek")
)
collection.deleteMany(
Filters.regex(Movie::title.name, "Shrek")
)
collection.bulkWrite(
listOf(
InsertOneModel(Movie("Shrek", 2001)),
DeleteManyModel(Filters.lt(Movie::year.name, 2004)),
)
)
val changeStream = collection.watch()
changeStream.collect {
println("Change to ${it.fullDocument?.title}")
}
Access Results from a Query as a List
collection.find().toList()
collection.countDocuments(Filters.eq("year", 2001))
List the Distinct Documents or Field Values
collection.distinct<String>(Movie::rated.name)
Limit the Number of Documents Retrieved

collection.find()
.limit(2)
Skip Retrieved Documents

collection.find()
.skip(2)
Sort the Documents When Retrieving Them

collection.find().sort(Sorts.descending(Movie::year.name))
Project Document Fields When Retrieving Them

data class Result(val title: String)
collection.find<Result>()
.projection(Projections.include(Movie::title.name))
collection.createIndex(Indexes.ascending(Movie::title.name))
collection.find(Filters.text("Forever"));

)
flow.collect { println(it) }
