$dayOfMonth

The $dayOfMonth aggregation operator in Amazon DocumentDB retrieves the day of the month (from 1 to 31) for a given date. This operator is useful for grouping, filtering, or extracting the day of the month from date fields in your documents.

Parameters

Example (MongoDB Shell)

This example demonstrates how to use the $dayOfMonth operator to extract the day of the month from a date field in the document.

Create sample documents

db.events.insertMany([
  { _id: 1, eventDate: new Date("2022-01-15T12:00:00Z") },
  { _id: 2, eventDate: new Date("2022-02-28T15:30:00Z") },
  { _id: 3, eventDate: new Date("2022-03-01T09:45:00Z") },
  { _id: 4, eventDate: new Date("2022-04-30T23:59:59Z") }
]);

Query example

db.events.aggregate([
  { $project: {
    eventDay: { $dayOfMonth: "$eventDate" }
  }}
])

Output

[
  { "_id" : 1, "eventDay" : 15 },
  { "_id" : 2, "eventDay" : 28 },
  { "_id" : 3, "eventDay" : 1 },
  { "_id" : 4, "eventDay" : 30 }
]
