Spring Data MongoDB Date Between

I use spring data mongodb.

I want the records between two dates. The following MongoDB Query works:

db.posts.find({startDate: {$gte: start, $lt: end}});

My attempted Spring data query object code translation does not work:

Query query = new Query();
query.addCriteria(Criteria.where("startDate").gte(startDate)
                            .and("startDate").lt(endDate));

What is the correct order of method calls to build the Mongo query I need?

Solution 1:

Do not include the 'and("startDate")' part in your criteria.

Instead of :

query.addCriteria(Criteria.where("startDate").gte(startDate).and("startDate").lt(endDate));

You should use:

query.addCriteria(Criteria.where("startDate").gte(startDate).lt(endDate));

When you include the 'and("startDate")' part, Mongo see's it as two different entries on the same property.

Solution 2:

Reference here

Query query = new Query(
  Criteria.where("ip").is(ip)
  .andOperator(
    Criteria.where("createdDate").lt(endDate),
    Criteria.where("createdDate").gte(startDate)
  )
);

Solution 3:

You also can add query annotaion:

@Query("{'date' : { $gte: ?0, $lte: ?1 } }")                 
public List<AnyYourObj> getObjectByDate(Date from, Date to);

Or proper spring data method signature:

public List<AnyYourObj> findByDateBetween(Date from, Date to);

Both of these approaches give the same result. You can read more here https://www.baeldung.com/queries-in-spring-data-mongodb and here https://docs.spring.io/spring-data/mongodb/docs/current/reference/html/

Solution 4:

I had to find dates between on field publishedDate and here is how I did it:

    Criteria publishedDateCriteria = Criteria
                        .where("publishedDateObject").gte(psDate)
                        .lte(peDate);
    Query query = new Query(publishedDateCriteria);
    mongoTemplate.find(query,
                        MyDocumentObject.class));

Solution 5:

This works on version 2.7.2 of the Java driver

DBCollection coll = db.getCollection("posts");  

BasicDBObject date = new BasicDBObject();
date.append("$gte", new Date(startDate));
date.append("$lte", new Date(endDate));

DBObject query = new BasicDBObject();
query.put("date", date);

DBCursor cursor = coll.find(query);

Also, for the record you have "startDate" for both the gte and the lte parameters.
