Syntax
{$toISODate: <arbitrary expression>}
{$toObjectId: <arbitrary expression>}
{$toBoolean: <arbitrary expression>}
Examples
// Example 1
> db.coll.insert([
{_id: 0, x: 1},
{_id: 1, x: 0}
]);
> db.coll.aggregate([{
$project: {
boolean: {$toBoolean: "$x"}
}])
{_id: 0, boolean: true}
{_id: 1, boolean: false}
// Example 2
> db.coll.insert([
{_id: 0, x: "5769a41ba1db3f11dba6d4d3"}
]);
> db.coll.aggregate([{
$project: {
objectID: {$toObjectID: "$x"}
}])
{_id: 0, objectID: ObjectId("5769a41ba1db3f11dba6d4d3")}
// Example 3
> db.coll.insert([
{_id: 0, x: "2011-01-01"}
]);
> db.coll.aggregate([{
$project: {
isoDate: {$toISODate: ["$x", "YYYY-MM-DD"]}
}])
{_id: 0, isoDate: ISODate("2011-11-11T00:00:00Z")}
Notes
- Calling $toBoolean on a boolean, $toISODate on an ISODate, or $toObjectID on an ObjectID, is a no-op.
Errors
- If the input is of a type or value that cannot be converted: e.g. $toBoolean should only convert 0/1, $toISODate and $toObjectID should only accept strings.
Each of these operators will have an equivalent $coerceTo operator that optionally accepts a default value in cases where the vanilla version would error. In cases where no default it supplied, it would return the default value for the target type. "false" for booleans, unix epoch for dates, and an empty string for object identifiers.
{$coerceToBoolean: "xxx"} // false
{$coerceToBoolean: ["xxx", true]} // true
{$coerceToBoolean: ["5.6abc"]} // false
{$coerceToObjectID: ["5769a41ba1db3f11dba6d4d3"]} // ObjectID("5769a41ba1db3f11dba6d4d3")
{$coerceToObjectID: ["x", 2]} // 2
{$coerceToISODate: ["2011-11-11", "YYYY-MM-DD", ISODate("2014-11-11T00:00:00Z")]} // ISODate("2011-11-11T00:00:00Z")
