Grouping Tags by Month in MongoDB Using Mongoose.js

When working with MongoDB, one common challenge developers face is the need to summarize or manipulate data in a way that highlights patterns over time. A frequent requirement is to get a count of tags associated with posts over separate months. If you’re wrestling with how to achieve this using Mongoose.js, you’re in the right place!

Understanding the Problem

You have a MongoDB collection containing documents for posts, each with associated tags and a date field. Your goal is to generate a structured output that provides a summary of how many times each tag was used per month. Here’s a quick look at the desired output:

To achieve this, you need to rely on MongoDB’s powerful aggregation framework. Let’s break down how to craft your aggregation pipeline to achieve this goal.

The Solution

Step 1: Unwinding the Tags

Since your tags are stored in an array within each post, the first task is to unwind the tags array. This means transforming the array elements into separate documents, making it easier to work with.

This operation takes each tag within an array and creates a new document for each tag, preserving the rest of the original document data.

Step 2: Grouping by Month and Year

Next, you need to group these unwound documents by month, year, and tag reference. This helps to count the occurrences of each tag for every month.

Step 3: Aggregating Counts per Month

The next step is to regroup your results to consolidate all tags within a month into a single document. This will give you a tidy summary of counts per month.

Step 4: Reshaping the Output

Finally, you need to format the output to achieve a clean structure where you have each tag as a separate field.

Conclusion

With this approach, you can efficiently group tags by month using Mongoose.js and MongoDB's aggregation framework. This structure not only makes it easier to analyze tag usage but also provides a clear overview of trends over time.
