MongoDB Queries and Concepts
a. Purpose of the find() Method
The find() method retrieves documents from a MongoDB collection. If no query is given, it returns all
documents.
Example:
[Link]({})
b. Query to Find Documents Where 'age' > 25
The $gt operator retrieves documents where age is greater than 25.
Example:
[Link]({ age: { $gt: 25 } })
c. Using the limit() Method
The limit() method restricts the number of documents returned.
Example:
[Link]({}).limit(5)
d. Purpose of the skip() Method
The skip() method skips a specified number of documents.
Example:
[Link]({}).skip(10)
e. Using count() to Count Documents
The count() method returns the number of documents that match a query.
Example:
[Link]({})
f. Difference Between findOne() and find()
findOne() returns the first matching document, whereas find() returns all matching documents.
Example:
findOne(): [Link]({ age: { $gt: 25 } })
find(): [Link]({ age: { $gt: 25 } })
