Question

with mongodb and rest activated, i would like to query a document inside another document, what is the syntax ? In my exemple, I have a Person collection which contains an Order document for each Person.

Ex, I have this schema

public Person{
    public int Id {get;set;}
    public IList<Order> Order {get;set;}
}

public Order{
    public int Id {get;set;}
    public string OrderName {get;set;}
}

If I want to query the person with Id = 2, I just need to type this URL:

http://localhost:28017/MyDatabase/PersonCollection/?filter_Id=2

But what If I want to query the Order with Id = 40 ?

http://localhost:28017/MyDatabase/PersonCollection/?filter_Order.Id=40

But It doesn’t work, it returns all the orders without my filter by Id=40.

What’s the solution ?

Thanks
John

Syntax the same as usual, so following request should work:

http://localhost:28017/MyDatabase/PersonCollection/?filter_Order.Id=40

But yout document should looks like this:

{
  "_id": 1,
  "Order": [
    {
      "Id": 40,
      "OrderName": "name"
    }
  ]
}
