$not

The $not aggregation operator performs a logical NOT operation on an expression. It returns true if the expression evaluates to false, and false if the expression evaluates to true.

Parameters

  • expression: The expression to negate.

Example (MongoDB Shell)

The following example demonstrates using the $not operator to invert boolean values.

Create sample documents

db.users.insertMany([
  { _id: 1, name: "Alice", active: true },
  { _id: 2, name: "Bob", active: false },
  { _id: 3, name: "Charlie", active: true }
]);

Query example

db.users.aggregate([
  {
    $project: {
      name: 1,
      active: 1,
      inactive: { $not: ["$active"] }
    }
  }
]);

Output

[
  { _id: 1, name: 'Alice', active: true, inactive: false },
  { _id: 2, name: 'Bob', active: false, inactive: true },
  { _id: 3, name: 'Charlie', active: true, inactive: false }
]

Node.js

  const db = client.db('test');
  const collection = db.collection('users');

  const result = await collection.aggregate([
    {
      $project: {
        name: 1,
        active: 1,
        inactive: { $not: ["$active"] }
      }
    }
  ]).toArray();

  console.log(result);
  await client.close();
}
