How do I extract subdocument in laravel mongodb - php

Question

Hello Good Developers,
I am using jenssegers/laravel-mongodb package to query my MongoDB from Laravel.
Here's Fiddle for my query: https://mongoplayground.net/p/qzbNN8Siy-3
I have following JSON
[{
"id": "GLOBAL_EDUCATION",
"general_name": "GLOBAL_EDUCATION",
"display_name": "GLOBAL_EDUCATION",
"profile_section_id": 0,
"translated": [
{
"con_lang": "US-EN",
"country_code": "US",
"language_code": "EN",
"text": "What is the highest level of education you have completed?",
"hint": null
},
{
"con_lang": "US-ES",
"country_code": "US",
"language_code": "ES",
"text": "\u00bfCu\u00e1l es su nivel de educaci\u00f3n?",
"hint": null
}...
{
....
}
]
I am trying to run following command
db.collection.find({ 'id': "GLOBAL_EDUCATION" },{_id:0, id:1, general_name:1, translated:{ $elemMatch: {con_lang: "US-EN"} }})
Expecting result like this
[
{
"general_name": "GLOBAL_EDUCATION",
"id": "GLOBAL_EDUCATION",
"translated": [
{
"con_lang": "US-EN",
"country_code": "US",
"hint": null,
"language_code": "EN",
"text": "What is the highest level of education you have completed?"
}
]
}
]
Everything is fine while query directly in MoDB but issue arise when I am trying this in Laravel.
I've tried every possible known function from MongoDB package. but Not able to do this.
here's my Array
$findArray = [
[
'id' => "GLOBAL_EDUCATION",
],
[
'_id' => 0,
'id' => 1,
'general_name' => 1,
'translated' => [
'$elemMatch' => ['con_lang' => "US-EN"]
],
]
];
$model = GlobalQuestions::raw()->find($findArray) //OR
$data = GlobalQuestions::raw(function($collection) use ($findArray){
return $collection->find($findArray);
});
What I am doing wrong here, is this kind of Find() not possible here and I've to do this by aggregation?

Since no-one answered this, I am posting the solution if someone is having the same issue.
Doing some more R&D on the same I was able to do this using where and Project as well by Aggregation Pipelines.
----- Using Where() and Project() ------
$projectArray = [
'_id' => 0,
'id' => 1,
'general_name' => 1,
'translated' => [
'$elemMatch' => ['con_lang' => "FR-FR"]
],
];
$data = GlobalQuestions::where('id', '=', 'GLOBAL_EDUCATION')
->project($projectArray)
->get();
--- Using Aggregation and $unwind ---
$data = GlobalQuestions::raw(function($collection) {
return $collection->aggregate([
[
'$match' => [
'id' => "GLOBAL_EDUCATION"
]
],
[
'$unwind' => '$translated',
],
[
'$match' => [
'translated.con_lang' => "US-EN"
]
],
[
'$project' => [
'_id'=> 0,
'id'=> 1,
'general_name' => 1,
'translated' => 1,
]
]
]);
})->first();
