I need my application to count the size of an array foos
inside a document using Java driver 3.8. I know I can do this with the shell
JavaScript
x
db.collection.aggregate(
[
{
$match: { _id: 123456789 }
},
{
$project: {
count: { $size: "$foos" }
}
}
]
)
but I have no idea of how to do this with java, because the only method producing a $size
operator I found is Filters.size(String fieldName, int size)
that is meant to look for documents where array fieldName
has size size
. I searched inside com.mongodb.client.model package but I found nothing to answer my question.

Answer
No there are no helpers in java driver to help with aggregation expression for $project
stage.
Try
JavaScript
Bson match = new Document("$match", Filters.eq("_id", 123456789 ));
Bson projection = new Document("$size", "$foos" );
Bson project = Aggregates.project(new Document("count", projection) );
collection.aggregate(Arrays.asList(match, project));
