                        "ShipmentServiceLevelCategory" : "Expedited"
                    },
                    }
                ]
            },
            "CreatedBefore" : "2015-03-19T06:17:59Z"
        }
    ],
    "ResponseMetadata" : {
        "RequestId" : "cf94645e-ada7-4ec6-b161-a97d07a77817"
    },
    "seller_user_id" : "yg4e34ccodzf3GPR2",
}

So as you can see this is the single document that contains the whole data of array i want to fetch the orders whose status is cancel from this order array.

So for that i have use :-

var orderDetails = orders.find({"ListOrdersResult.Orders.Order":{$elemMatch: { OrderStatus:"Canceled"}}}).fetch();

Also i tried with:-

orders.find({"ListOrdersResult.Orders.Order.OrderStatus":'Canceled'}).fetch();

So this will return the whole document that contains status as canceled and other as well but i want only selected result from the document that contains status as pending.

So is there any way in mongoDb to query a selected value from a single document that contains nested array of arrays as object.

Or I need to staore the values into diff diff documents thats only the solution.

Any help would be appriciated please contribute

Thanks!

You can go with any meteor aggregate package. You can use match and then group the data then send it to client-side.Like :

var ordersLines = orders.aggregate([
                      {$unwind : "$ListOrdersResult.Orders.Order"},
                      {$match : { OrderStatus:"Canceled"} },
                      {$project : {
                      OrderType : '$ListOrdersResult.Orders.Order.OrderType'
                      ....  
                           }
                      }
                  ]);
return ordersLines;

But I suggest you go with a different document.
