Question

I’m using Flask-MongoEngine in my python application, and I’m trying to grab a list of documents WHERE a field equals some value. I know how to grab a single document based on the value of a field using get(name=”chris”), but how would I be able to do this with returning multiple documents? Nothing in the docs is really sticking out.

Answer 1

MongoEngine Document classes have an objects attribute, which is used for accessing the objects in the database associated with the class. example:

uk_users = User.objects(country='uk')

For advanced queries you can use the filter attribute:

uk_female_users = User.objects(country='uk').filter(gender='f')
