MongoDB filter nested array

Question

I have a collection that looks something like:

[
  {
    "_id": 1,
    "title": "dummy title",
    "settings": [
      {
        "type": "light",
        "status": "enabled"
      },
      {
        "type": "flare",
        "status": "disabled"
      },
      {
        "type": "toolbar",
        "status": "enabled"
      }
    ]
  }
]

I wanna fetch it by Id but only with the "enabled" settings and not sure how the aggregation pipeline should look like.

I supposed to create the query using mongoTemplate in Java / Kotlin but even just the mongo query would be enough.

You can do it with a $filter

db.collection.aggregate([
  {
    $project: {
      _id: 1,
      title: 1,
      settings: {
        $filter: {
          input: "$settings",
          as: "item",
          cond: {
            $eq: [
              "$$item.status",
              "enabled"
            ]
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
])

try it here
