Hi,
I was wondering if there's a way return count based on the number of nested
array items, instead of Document count.
e.g:
So if I have something like this:
obj : {
array : [{
id: 1,
group: A
},
{
id: 2,
group: A
},
{
id: 3,
group: B
}]
}
And I want to count number of items with group=A, it should return 2,
instead of 1 (the Doc count)
Is there a way of doing this?
Thanks
