12 min readTo store time in "hh:mm" format in MongoDB, it's common to store it as a string. MongoDB itself does not have a specific data type for time-only values without dates, so strings are often used to maintain the format. When querying or manipulating these values, you'll handle them as strings. Alternatively, you could store time as a Date object with a fixed date component or use an integer value representing the total minutes since midnight.

This allows you to add elements to the array only if they are not already present. By using $addToSet with $each, you can ensure that duplicate elements are not added to the array.Here's an example of how you can use $addToSet with $each to make array elements unique in MongoDB:db.collection.

5 min readTo close a MongoDB connection using Mongoose, you can call the mongoose.connection.close() method. This will close the connection to the MongoDB database. It's important to remember to close the connection when you are done using it to free up resources and prevent memory leaks. Additionally, you can also listen for the disconnected event on the mongoose.connection object to know when the connection has been closed successfully.

6 min readTo set "seen:true" in an array of messages in Mongoose, you can use the update method to update the messages array in your document. You can use the $set operator to set the "seen" field to true for all the messages in the array. Here's an example of how you can achieve this: YourModel.findByIdAndUpdate( { _id: yourDocumentId }, { $set: { "messages.$[].seen": true } }, function(err, result) { if (err) { console.log(err); } else { console.

7 min readTo get a TTL (Time-To-Live) or expired document in MongoDB, you can use the expireAfterSeconds index option in a collection. This option allows you to specify a field in your documents that determines when they will expire. Once the TTL index is created, MongoDB will automatically delete documents that have passed their expiration time. You can set the expiration time by providing a value in seconds when creating the index.

5 min readTo search nested properties in Elasticsearch, you can use the dot notation to access the nested fields. For example, if you have a nested field called "nestedField" with subfields "subField1" and "subField2", you can search for documents where subField1 equals a specific value by using the query "nestedField.subField1:value". This allows you to access and query nested properties within your Elasticsearch documents.

4 min readTo replace only one object from an array in MongoDB, you can use the $ operator to update the specific element in the array. This operator allows you to reference the element you want to replace by its index position within the array.For example, if you have a collection with an array field called "items" and you want to replace the object at index 2 with a new object, you can use the following query:db.collection.update( {}, { $set: { "items.
