$project stage is an atomic MongoDB lesson inside Aggregation Basics. The example uses the specific syntax, command, API, instruction, or language rule named by this lesson.
Study the construct itself, then change one relevant input and predict the result before running it. That keeps this lesson focused on $project stage rather than on generic MongoDB syntax.
Topic-specific example
mongodb-05-02.js
javascript
Try It Live
db.orders.aggregate([{ $project:{ customer:1,total:1,_id:0 } }])
Edge case / engineering note
Test $project stage with an empty result, NULL/missing value, duplicate key, or concurrent operation where relevant; database behavior should be verified at the boundary shown by this example.
