FilterQuery¶
interface FilterQuery<T> : CompoundBsonNode, FieldDsl
DSL for MongoDB operators that are used as predicates in conditions.
Example¶
This expression type is available in multiple operators, most commonly find:
Beware of arrays!¶
MongoDB operators do not discriminate between scalars and arrays. When an array is encountered, all operators attempt to match on the array itself. If the match fails, the operators attempt to match array elements.
It is not possible to mimic this behavior in KtMongo while still keeping type-safety, so operators may behave strangely when arrays are encountered.
Note that if the collection corresponds to the declared Kotlin type, these situations can never happen, as the Kotlin type system doesn't allow them to.
When developers attempt to perform an operator on the entire array, they should use operators as normal:
class User(
val name: String,
val favoriteNumbers: List<Int>
)
collection.find {
User::favoriteNumbers eq listOf(1, 2)
}
Developers should use the request above when they want to match a document similar to:
The following document will NOT match:
However, due to MongoDB's behavior when encountering arrays, it should be noted that the following document WILL match:
To execute an operator on one of the elements of an array, see anyValue.
Operators¶

Constructors¶
FilterQuery¶
@LowLevelApi
fun <T> FilterQuery(context: BsonContext): FilterQuery<T>
Creates an empty FilterQuery.
Properties¶
any¶
abstract fun <V> Field<T, Collection<V>>.any(block: FilterQuery<V>.() -> Unit)
open fun <V> KProperty1<T, Collection<V>>.any(block: FilterQuery<V>.() -> Unit)
Specify multiple operators on fields of a single array element.
Example
Find customers who have a pet that is born this month, as they may be eligible for a discount.
class Customer(
val name: String,
val pets: List<Pet>,
)
class Pet(
val name: String,
val birthMonth: Int
)
val currentMonth = 3
collection.find {
Customer::pets.any {
Pet::birthMonth gte currentMonth
Pet::birthMonth lte (currentMonth + 1)
}
}
The following document will match:
{
"name": "Fred",
"pets": [
{
"name": "Arthur",
"birthMonth": 5
},
{
"name": "Gwen",
"birthMonth": 3
}
]
}
because the pet "Gwen" has a matching birth month.
If you want to perform operators on the elements directly (not on their fields), use anyValue instead.
External resources
open val <V> KProperty1<T, Collection<V>>.any: Field<T, V>
Specify operators on array elements.
Example
Find any user who has 12 as one of their favorite numbers.
class User(
val name: String,
val favoriteNumbers: List<Int>
)
collection.find {
User::favoriteNumbers.any eq 12
}
Repeated usages will match different items
Note that if any is used multiple times, it may test different items. For example, the following request will match the following document:
Because 1 is less than 7, and 9 is greater than 2, the document is returned.
If you want to apply multiple filters to the same item, use the any function.
Arrays don't exist in finds!
MongoDB operators do not discriminate between scalars and arrays. When an array is encountered, all operators attempt to match on the array itself. If the match fails, the operators attempt to match array elements.
It is not possible to mimic this behavior in KtMongo while still keeping type-safety, so KtMongo has different operators to filter a collection itself or its elements.
As a consequence, the request:
will, as expected, match the following document:
It is important to note that it WILL also match this document:
Since this document doesn't conform to the Kotlin declared type List<Int>, it is unlikely that such an element exists, but developers should keep it in mind.

context¶
@LowLevelApi
abstract val context: BsonContext
The context used to generate this expression.
field¶
Converts a Kotlin property into a Field.
Functions¶
accept¶
@LowLevelApi
@DangerousMongoApi
abstract override fun accept(node: BsonNode)
Adds a new node as a child of this one.
acceptAll¶
@LowLevelApi
@DangerousMongoApi
fun <N : Node> CompoundNode<N>.acceptAll(nodes: Iterable<N>)
Adds any number of nodes into this one.
and¶
abstract fun and(block: FilterQuery<T>.() -> Unit)
anyValue¶
abstract fun <V> Field<T, Collection<V>>.anyValue(block: FilterQueryPredicate<V>.() -> Unit, type: KType)
inline fun <V> Field<T, Collection<V>>.anyValue(noinline block: FilterQueryPredicate<V>.() -> Unit)
inline fun <V> KProperty1<T, Collection<V>>.anyValue(noinline block: FilterQueryPredicate<V>.() -> Unit)
Specify multiple operators on a single array element.
Example
Find students with a grade between 8 and 10, that may be eligible to perform an exam a second time.
class Student(
val name: String,
val grades: List<Int>
)
collection.find {
Student::grades.anyValue {
gte(8)
lte(10)
}
}
The following document will match because the grade 9 is in the interval.
The following document will NOT match, because none of the grades are in the interval.
If you want to perform multiple checks on different elements of an array, see the any property.
This function only allows specifying operators on array elements directly. To specify operators on sub-fields of array elements, see any.

This operator is useful to simplify searches when the criteria are optional. For example, instead of writing:
this operator can be used instead:

expr¶
Enables the usage of aggregation values within a regular query.
Aggregation values are much more powerful than regular query operators (for example, it is possible to compare two fields of the same document). However, the way they are written is quite different, and the way they are evaluated by MongoDB is quite different again. Before using aggregation values, be sure to read AggregationOperators.
Example
class Product(
val name: String,
val creationDate: Instant,
val releaseDate: Instant,
)
val anomalies = products.find {
expr {
of(Product::creationDate) gt of(Product::releaseDate)
}

gtNotNull¶
hasType¶
open infix fun KProperty1<T, *>.hasType(type: BsonType)
Selects documents where the value of the field is an instance of the specified BSON type.
Querying by data type is useful when dealing with highly unstructured data where data types are not predictable.
Example

-
isNull: Checks if a value has the typeBsonType.Null. -
isUndefined: Checks if a value has the typeBsonType.Undefined.
invoke¶
inline operator fun <V> KProperty1<T, V>.invoke(noinline block: FilterQueryPredicate<V>.() -> Unit)
Targets a single field to execute a targeted predicate.
Example
Note that many operators available this way have a convenience function directly in this class to shorten this. For this example, see eq:
isEmpty¶
open fun Field<T, Collection<*>>.isEmpty()
open fun KProperty1<T, Collection<*>>.isEmpty()
Matches documents in which an array is empty or absent.

nor¶

not¶

regex¶
Matches documents where the field corresponds to a given regex expression.
Example
Indexing
If possible, prefer using a "^" prefix. For example, if we know that a pattern will only be present at the start of a string, "^foo" will use indexes, whereas "foo" will not.
Avoid using .* at the start and end of a pattern. "foo" is identical to "foo.*", but the former can use indexes and the latter cannot.
External resources
Parameters
-
caseInsensitive: If
true, the result is matched even if its case doesn't match. Note that this also disables index usage (even case-insensitive indexes) and ignores collation. -
dotAll: If
true, the dot character (.) can match newlines. -
extended: If
true, whitespace (except in character classes) is ignored, and segments starting from an unescaped pound (#) until a newline are ignored, similarly to a Python comment.
User::name.regex(
pattern = """
abc # This is a comment, it's not part of the pattern
123
""".trimIndent(),
extended = true,
)
which is identical to the non-extended pattern "abc123".
- matchEachLine: If
true, the special characters^and$match the beginning and end of each line, instead of matching the beginning and end of the entire string. Therefore,"^S"will match"First line\nSecond line", which would not match otherwise.
simplify¶
@LowLevelApi
abstract fun simplify(): BsonNode?
Returns a simplified (but equivalent) expression to the current expression.
size¶
abstract infix fun Field<T, Collection<*>>.size(size: Int)
open infix fun KProperty1<T, Collection<*>>.size(size: Int)
Selects documents where the value of a field is an array of size size (exactly).
This operator cannot accept a range of values. To select documents based on fields with different numbers of elements, create a counter field that you increment when you add elements to a field.
Queries cannot use indexes for this portion of the query, but other parts of the query may use indexes if applicable.
