{ author: "Pawan",
books:
[
{ title: "Web mining", year: 2007 },

 Answer:

// Note, some of these questions require the students to refer to

www.mongodb.org
// to create the more sophisticated queries

// All the books published before 2000 (by any author)

db.library.aggregate(
{ $unwind: "$books" },
{ $match: { "books.year": { $lt: 2000 } }}
);

// All the books published by John Grisham

db.library.find({ author: "John Grisham" }, { books: 1 })

// All the books not published by John Grisham

db.library.find({ author: { $ne: "John Grisham" }}, { books: 1 })

// All the books published between years 2000 and 2009

db.library.aggregate(
{ $unwind: "$books" },

 Programming projects

PRJ1. Boiler monitor server-side version: We want to change the app that
monitors the temperature and pressure of a boiler so that the data is
stored on a MongoDB server instead of in localStorage. You can model
the app based on the server-side Thyroid app. We have modified the
webpages in the previous chapter. In this chapter, you need to design the
MongoDB database so that the records can be stored and retrieved using
the boiler ID as the key, and to create the routes in your server for the
app to access.

PRJ2. Blood pressure monitor server-side version: We want to change the

app that monitors blood pressure so that the data is stored on a
MongoDB server instead of in localStorage. You can model the app
based on the server-side Thyroid app. We have modified the webpages in
the previous chapter. In this chapter, you need to design the MongoDB
database so that the records can be stored and retrieved using the
person’s ID as the key, and to create the routes in your server for the app
to access.

PRJ3. Power consumption monitor server-side version: We want to change

the app that monitors the power consumption of a manufacturing plant so
that the data is stored on a MongoDB server instead of in localStorage.
You can model the app based on the server-side Thyroid app. We have
modified the webpages in the previous chapter. In this chapter, you need
to design the MongoDB database so that the records can be stored and
retrieved using the plant ID as the key, and to create the routes in your
server for the app to access.

PRJ4. Body mass index (BMI) monitor server-side version: We want to

change the app that monitors the body mass index of a person based on
height and weight so that the data is stored on a MongoDB server instead
of in localStorage. You can model the app based on the server-side
Thyroid app. We have modified the webpages in the previous chapter. In
this chapter, you need to design the MongoDB database so that the
records can be stored and retrieved using the person’s ID as the key, and
to create the routes in your server for the app to access.

 PRJ5. Managing a line of credit server-side version: We want to change the
app that manages our line of credit at a bank so that the data is stored on
a server instead of in localStorage. You can model the app based on the
server-side Thyroid app. We have modified the webpages in the previous
chapter. In this chapter, you need to design the MongoDB database so
that the records can be stored and retrieved using the organization’s ID
