$lookup aggregation issue with Let

Working with Data
1

Hello Devs,

Today i had a bad issue.

I have this query, look at Lookup from inventory, if i use hardcoded data inside query done, with let operator this not work ( no take results )

db.shopping_cart.aggregate(
    {"$match" : {"userId" : "2"}},
    {"$unwind" : "$items"}, 
    {"$lookup" : {"from" : "variants", "localField" : "items.variant", "foreignField" : "_id", "as" : "items.variantObject"},
    {"$unwind" : "$items.variantObject"},
    {"$lookup" : {"from" : "inventory", "let" :{"shop_id" : "$shopId", "variant_id" : "$items.variant"}, 
            pipeline: [ 
                { $match: { "shop" : "$$shop_id", "variants" : {$elemMatch : {"variant" : "$$variant_id"}}}},
                { $unwind: "$variants" }, 
                { $match: {"variants.variant" : "$$variant_id"},
                { $project : {"shop" : "$$shop_id", "shopId" : "shop",  "variant" : "$$variant_id", "price" : "$variants.price", "discount" : "$variants.discount", "sizes" : "$variants.sizes", "quantity" : "$variants.quantity"}}
            ],
                as : "items.inventory"
    }
    }
)

Data To replicate - inventory:

	"_id" : "5ec8d2924688d8310b909eee",

Hello, @Antonio_Dell_Arte! Welcome to the community!

To be able to use let-variables in $lookup.pipeilne.$match stage, you need to use $expr operator inside $match stage, like this:

db.shopping_cart.aggregate([
  // ...
  {
    $lookup: {
      from : 'inventory',
      let: {
        shop_id: '$shopId',
        variant_id: '$items.variant',
      },
      pipeline: [
        {
          // put this $unwind before $match stage,
          // so $eq operators inside $match stage would work
          $unwind: '$variants', 
        },
        {
          $match: {
            $expr: {
              $and: [
                { $eq: ['$shop', '$$shop_id'] },
                { $eq: ['$variants.variant', '$$variant_id'] },
              ],
            },
          },
        },
        { $project: { /* ... */ }},
      ],
      as : 'items.inventory',
    },
  },
]);
