Visning af den sidste besked i hver samtale, der involverer en bruger, i MongoDB

Velkommen til Stack overflow. Det er et anstændigt spørgsmål, du skrev. Lad mig tage det privilegium at hjælpe dig på den måde, jeg kan.

Dette er en aggregeringskommando, som kan køres i mongo-skallen. Find venligst forklaringen inline.

db.collection.aggregate([
//match all those records which involve Wood.
{$match:{$or:[{"to":"wood"},{"from":"wood"}]}},
// sort all the messages by descending order
{$sort:{time:-1}},
{
    // Now we need to group messages together, based on the to and from field.
    // We generate a key - "last_message_between", with the value being a concatenation
    // result of the values in to and from field.
    // Now, Messages from Wood to billy and Billy to wood should be treated under a single group right.
    // To achieve that, we do a small trick to make the result contain the name coming last
    // alphabetically, first. So our key for all the Messages from Wood to Billy and Billy to Wood would be 
    // "Wood and Billy".
    // And then we just display the first document that appears in the group, that would be the 
    // latest Message.
    $group:{"_id":{
    "last_message_between":{
        $cond:[
            {
                $gt:[
                {$substr:["$to",0,1]},
                {$substr:["$from",0,1]}]
            },
            {$concat:["$to"," and ","$from"]},
            {$concat:["$from"," and ","$to"]}
        ]
    }
    },"message":{$first:"$$ROOT"}
    }
}
])

Du kan køre nedenstående på mongoose.

Collection.aggregate(
{$match:{$or:[{"to":"wood"},{"from":"wood"}]}},
{$sort:{time:-1}},
{
    $group:{"_id":{
    "last_message_between":{
        $cond:[
            {
                $gt:[
                {$substr:["$to",0,1]},
                {$substr:["$from",0,1]}]
            },
            {$concat:["$to"," and ","$from"]},
            {$concat:["$from"," and ","$to"]}
        ]
    }
    },"message":{$first:"$$ROOT"}
    }
},
function(err, res)
{
    if (err) return handleError(err);
    console.log(res);
}
)
