Please advise how to search in date format in MongoDB
my mongodb data data type is string
{ymdhis:"2023-03-14T09:10:37.000+00:00"}
The date of that form is stored in the form of a string. How do I retrieve it?
For example, I want to search like this
{ymdhis:{'$gte':2023-03-14 00:00:00,'$lte':2023-03-14 23:59:59}}
to my javascript code this no results
{'todate':{'$toDate':'$ymdhis'}}
{'ymdhis':{'$gte':new Date(new Date('2023-03-14 00:00:00').getTime()+9*3600000)}}
how can i get the result

To search for a date in MongoDB, you can use the $gte (greater than or equal to) and $lte (less than or equal to) operators with a Date object. Here’s an example of how to search for all documents where the ymdhis field is between 2023-03-14 00:00:00 and 2023-03-14 23:59:59:
db.collection.find({
ymdhis: {
$gte: new Date('2023-03-14T00:00:00.000Z'),
$lte: new Date('2023-03-14T23:59:59.999Z')
}
})
Note that you need to pass the date string in ISO 8601 format and create a Date object in the query. In the example above, I’ve used the Z timezone specifier to indicate that the date is in UTC time. You can adjust the timezone by changing the date string accordingly.
If your ymdhis field is stored as a string, you can convert it to a Date object in the query using the $toDate aggregation operator, like this:
db.collection.aggregate([
{
$addFields: {
ymdhisDate: {
$toDate: '$ymdhis'
}
}
},
{
$match: {
ymdhisDate: {
$gte: new Date('2023-03-14T00:00:00.000Z'),
$lte: new Date('2023-03-14T23:59:59.999Z')
}
}
}
])
In this example, the $addFields stage creates a new ymdhisDate field that contains a Date object converted from the ymdhis string field. The $match stage then uses the ymdhisDate field to filter the documents based on the date range.
