$push

Definition

$push

The $push operator appends a specified value to an array.

The $push operator has the form:

{ $push: { <field1>: <value1>, ... } }

To specify a <field> in an embedded document or in an array, use dot notation.

Behavior

If the field is absent in the document to update, $push adds the array field with the value as its element.

If the field is not an array, the operation will fail.

If the value is an array, $push appends the whole array as a single element. To add each element of the value separately, use the $each modifier with $push. For an example, see Append Multiple Values to an Array. For a list of modifiers available for $push, see Modifiers.

在 2.4 版更改: MongoDB adds support for the $each modifier to the $push operator. Before 2.4, use $pushAll for similar functionality.

Modifiers

2.4 新版功能.

You can use the $push operator with the following modifiers:

Modifier Description
$each

Appends multiple values to the array field.

在 2.6 版更改: When used in conjunction with the other modifiers, the $each modifier no longer needs to be first.

$slice Limits the number of array elements. Requires the use of the $each modifier.
$sort

Orders elements of the array. Requires the use of the $each modifier.

在 2.6 版更改: In previous versions, $sort is only available when used with both $each and $slice.

$position

Specifies the location in the array at which to insert the new elements. Requires the use of the $each modifier. Without the $position modifier, the $push appends the elements to the end of the array.

2.6 新版功能.

When used with modifiers, the $push operator has the form:

{ $push: { <field1>: { <modifier1>: <value1>, ... }, ... } }

The processing of the push operation with modifiers occur in the following order, regardless of the order in which the modifiers appear:

  1. Update array to add elements in the correct position.
  2. Apply sort, if specified.
  3. Slice the array, if specified.
  4. Store the array.

Examples

Append a Value to an Array

The following example appends 89 to the scores array:

db.students.update(
   { _id: 1 },
   { $push: { scores: 89 } }
)

Append Multiple Values to an Array

Use $push with the $each modifier to append multiple values to the array field.

The following example appends each element of [ 90, 92, 85 ] to the scores array for the document where the name field equals joe:

db.students.update(
   { name: "joe" },
   { $push: { scores: { $each: [ 90, 92, 85 ] } } }
)

Use $push Operator with Multiple Modifiers

A collection students has the following document:

{
   "_id" : 5,
   "quizzes" : [
      { "wk": 1, "score" : 10 },
      { "wk": 2, "score" : 8 },
      { "wk": 3, "score" : 5 },
      { "wk": 4, "score" : 6 }
   ]
}

The following $push operation uses:

  • the $each modifier to add multiple documents to the quizzes array,
  • the $sort modifier to sort all the elements of the modified quizzes array by the score field in descending order, and
  • the $slice modifier to keep only the first three sorted elements of the quizzes array.
db.students.update(
   { _id: 5 },
   {
     $push: {
       quizzes: {
          $each: [ { wk: 5, score: 8 }, { wk: 6, score: 7 }, { wk: 7, score: 6 } ],
          $sort: { score: -1 },
          $slice: 3
       }
     }
   }
)

The result of the operation is keep only the three highest scoring quizzes:

{
  "_id" : 5,
  "quizzes" : [
     { "wk" : 1, "score" : 10 },
     { "wk" : 2, "score" : 8 },
     { "wk" : 5, "score" : 8 }
  ]
}
