MongoDB aggregation on Loopback

问题

How do I obtain the sum of a Loopback PersistedModel?

There does not seem to be a documentation on how to achieve that.

If possible I would like to avoid having to find all the rows and sum it in Node.js.

UPDATE

Trying out the example from https://github.com/strongloop/loopback/issues/890

var bookCollection = Book.getDataSource().connector.collection(Book.modelName);

I got an error

throw new Error('MongoDB connection is not established');

How do I get a handle on the collection to manually run aggregate query on a MongoDB collection?

回答1:

Finally managed to get it working. Most examples left out the connect() part.

My working code:

Book.getDataSource().connector.connect(function(err, db) {
  var collection = db.collection('Book');
  var author = Book.getDataSource().ObjectID(authorId);
  collection.aggregate([
    { $match: { authorId: author } },
    { $group: {
      _id: authorId,
     total: { $sum: "$price" }
    }}
  ], function(err, data) {
    if (err) return callback(err);
    return callback(null, data);
  });
});

Aggregate query with loopback

Products.getDataSource().connector.connect(function(err, db) {
     var collection = db.collection('Products');
        collection.aggregate(
       [{ $match: { "productCode" : "WIN10-NoOS" } }]
        ).toArray(function(err,servicesData){
              if(err){

               }else{
             cb(null,servicesData);
           }

         });
    });
