| 15 | +Overview |
| 16 | +-------- |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +MongoDB 3.4 introduced support for :manual:`collations |
| 19 | +</manual/reference/collation/>`, which provide a set of rules to comply with the |
| 20 | +conventions of a particular language when comparing strings. |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +For example, in Canadian French, the last accent in a given word determines the |
| 23 | +sorting order. Consider the following French words: |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +.. code-block:: none |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | + cote < coté < côte < côté |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +The sort order using the Canadian French collation would result in the |
| 30 | +following: |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +.. code-block:: none |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | + cote < côte < coté < côté |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +If collation is unspecified, MongoDB uses simple binary comparison for strings. |
| 37 | +As such, the sort order of the words would be: |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +.. code-block:: none |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | + cote < coté < côte < côté |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +Usage |
| 44 | +----- |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +You can specify a default collation for collections and indexes when they are |
| 47 | +created, or specify a collation for CRUD operations and aggregations. For |
| 48 | +operations that support collation, MongoDB uses the collection's default |
| 49 | +collation unless the operation specifies a different collation. |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +Collation Parameters |
| 52 | +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +.. code-block:: php |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | + 'collation' => [ |
| 57 | + 'locale' => <string>, |
| 58 | + 'caseLevel' => <boolean>, |
| 59 | + 'caseFirst' => <string>, |
| 60 | + 'strength' => <integer>, |
| 61 | + 'numericOrdering' => <boolean>, |
| 62 | + 'alternate' => <string>, |
| 63 | + 'maxVariable' => <string>, |
| 64 | + 'normalization' => <boolean>, |
| 65 | + 'backwards' => <boolean>, |
| 66 | + ] |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +The only required parameter is ``locale``, which the server parses as an `ICU |
| 69 | +format locale ID <http://userguide.icu-project.org/locale>`_. For example, set |
| 70 | +``locale`` to ``en_US`` to represent US English or ``fr_CA`` to represent |
| 71 | +Canadian French. |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | +For a complete description of the available parameters, see :manual:`Collation |
| 74 | +Document </reference/collation/#collation-document>` in the MongoDB manual. |
| 75 | + |
| 76 | +Assign a Default Collation to a Collection |
| 77 | +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | +The following example creates a new collection called ``contacts`` on the |
| 80 | +``test`` database and assigns a default collation with the ``fr_CA`` locale. |
| 81 | +Specifying a collation when you create the collection ensures that all |
| 82 | +operations involving a query that are run against the ``contacts`` collection |
| 83 | +use the ``fr_CA`` collation, unless the query specifies another collation. Any |
| 84 | +indexes on the new collection also inherit the default collation, unless the |
| 85 | +creation command specifies another collation. |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | +.. code-block:: php |
| 88 | + |
| 89 | + <?php |
| 90 | + |
| 91 | + $database = (new MongoDB\Client)->test; |
| 92 | + |
| 93 | + $database->createCollection('contacts', [ |
| 94 | + 'collation' => ['locale' => 'fr_CA'], |
| 95 | + ]); |
| 96 | + |
| 97 | +Assign a Collation to an Index |
| 98 | +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| 99 | + |
| 100 | +To specify a collation for an index, use the ``collation`` option when you |
| 101 | +create the index. |
| 102 | + |
| 103 | +The following example creates an index on the ``name`` field of the |
| 104 | +``address_book`` collection, with the ``unique`` parameter enabled and a default |
| 105 | +collation with ``locale`` set to ``en_US``. |
| 106 | + |
| 107 | +.. code-block:: php |
| 108 | + |
| 109 | + <?php |
| 110 | + |
| 111 | + $collection = (new MongoDB\Client)->test->address_book; |
| 112 | + |
| 113 | + $collection->createIndex( |
| 114 | + ['first_name' => 1], |
| 115 | + [ |
| 116 | + 'collation' => ['locale' => 'en_US'], |
| 117 | + 'unique' => true, |
| 118 | + ] |
| 119 | + ); |
| 120 | + |
| 121 | +To use this index, make sure your queries also specify the same collation. The |
| 122 | +following query uses the above index: |
| 123 | + |
| 124 | +.. code-block:: php |
| 125 | + |
| 126 | + <?php |
| 127 | + |
| 128 | + $collection = (new MongoDB\Client)->test->address_book; |
| 129 | + |
| 130 | + $cursor = $collection->find( |
| 131 | + ['first_name' => 'Adam'], |
| 132 | + [ |
| 133 | + 'collation' => ['locale' => 'en_US'], |
| 134 | + ] |
| 135 | + ); |
| 136 | + |
| 137 | +The following queries do **NOT** use the index. The first query uses no |
| 138 | +collation, and the second uses a collation with a different ``strength`` value |
| 139 | +than the collation on the index. |
| 140 | + |
| 141 | +.. code-block:: php |
| 142 | + |
| 143 | + <?php |
| 144 | + |
| 145 | + $collection = (new MongoDB\Client)->test->address_book; |
| 146 | + |
| 147 | + $cursor1 = $collection->find(['first_name' => 'Adam']); |
| 148 | + |
| 149 | + $cursor2 = $collection->find( |
| 150 | + ['first_name' => 'Adam'], |
| 151 | + [ |
| 152 | + 'collation' => [ |
| 153 | + 'locale' => 'en_US', |
| 154 | + 'strength' => 2, |
| 155 | + ], |
| 156 | + ] |
| 157 | + ); |
| 158 | + |
| 159 | +Operations that Support Collation |
| 160 | +--------------------------------- |
| 161 | + |
| 162 | +All reading, updating, and deleting methods support collation. Some examples are |
| 163 | +listed below. |
| 164 | + |
| 165 | +``find()`` with ``sort`` |
| 166 | +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| 167 | + |
| 168 | +Individual queries can specify a collation to use when matching and sorting |
| 169 | +results. The following query and sort operation uses a German collation with the |
| 170 | +``locale`` parameter set to ``de``. |
| 171 | + |
| 172 | +.. code-block:: php |
| 173 | + |
| 174 | + <?php |
| 175 | + |
| 176 | + $collection = (new MongoDB\Client)->test->contacts; |
| 177 | + |
| 178 | + $cursor = $collection->find( |
| 179 | + ['city' => 'New York'], |
| 180 | + [ |
| 181 | + 'collation' => ['locale' => 'de'], |
| 182 | + 'sort' => ['name' => 1], |
| 183 | + ] |
| 184 | + ); |
| 185 | + |
| 186 | +``findOneAndUpdate()`` |
| 187 | +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| 188 | + |
| 189 | +A collection called ``names`` contains the following documents: |
| 190 | + |
| 191 | +.. code-block:: javascript |
| 192 | + |
| 193 | + { "_id" : 1, "first_name" : "Hans" } |
| 194 | + { "_id" : 2, "first_name" : "Gunter" } |
| 195 | + { "_id" : 3, "first_name" : "Günter" } |
| 196 | + { "_id" : 4, "first_name" : "Jürgen" } |
| 197 | + |
| 198 | +The following :phpmethod:`findOneAndUpdate() |
| 199 | +<MongoDB\\Collection::findOneAndUpdate>` operation on the collection does not |
| 200 | +specify a collation. |
| 201 | + |
| 202 | +.. code-block:: php |
| 203 | + |
| 204 | + <?php |
| 205 | + |
| 206 | + $collection = (new MongoDB\Client)->test->names; |
| 207 | + |
| 208 | + $document = $collection->findOneAndUpdate( |
| 209 | + ['first_name' => ['$lt' =-> 'Gunter']], |
| 210 | + ['$set' => ['verified' => true]] |
| 211 | + ); |
| 212 | + |
| 213 | +Because ``Gunter`` is lexically first in the collection, the above operation |
| 214 | +returns no results and updates no documents. |
| 215 | + |
| 216 | +Consider the same :phpmethod:`findOneAndUpdate() |
| 217 | +<MongoDB\\Collection::findOneAndUpdate>` operation but with a collation |
| 218 | +specified, which uses the locale ``de@collation=phonebook``. |
| 219 | + |
| 220 | +.. note:: |
| 221 | + |
| 222 | + Some locales have a ``collation=phonebook`` option available for use with |
| 223 | + languages which sort proper nouns differently from other words. According to |
| 224 | + the ``de@collation=phonebook`` collation, characters with umlauts come before |
| 225 | + the same characters without umlauts. |
| 226 | + |
| 227 | +.. code-block:: php |
| 228 | + |
| 229 | + <?php |
| 230 | + |
| 231 | + $collection = (new MongoDB\Client)->test->names; |
| 232 | + |
| 233 | + $document = $collection->findOneAndUpdate( |
| 234 | + ['first_name' => ['$lt' =-> 'Gunter']], |
| 235 | + ['$set' => ['verified' => true]], |
| 236 | + [ |
| 237 | + 'collation' => ['locale' => 'de@collation=phonebook'], |
| 238 | + 'returnDocument' => MongoDB\Operation\FindOneAndUpdate::RETURN_DOCUMENT_AFTER, |
| 239 | + ] |
| 240 | + ); |
| 241 | + |
| 242 | +The operation returns the following updated document: |
| 243 | + |
| 244 | +.. code-block:: javascript |
| 245 | + |
| 246 | + { "_id" => 3, "first_name" => "Günter", "verified" => true } |
| 247 | + |
| 248 | +``findOneAndDelete()`` |
| 249 | +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| 250 | + |
| 251 | +Set the ``numericOrdering`` collation parameter to ``true`` to compare numeric |
| 252 | +strings by their numeric values. |
| 253 | + |
| 254 | +The collection ``numbers`` contains the following documents: |
| 255 | + |
| 256 | +.. code-block:: javascript |
| 257 | + |
| 258 | + { "_id" : 1, "a" : "16" } |
| 259 | + { "_id" : 2, "a" : "84" } |
| 260 | + { "_id" : 3, "a" : "179" } |
| 261 | + |
| 262 | +The following example matches the first document in which field ``a`` has a |
| 263 | +numeric value greater than 100 and deletes it. |
| 264 | + |
| 265 | +.. code-block:: php |
| 266 | + |
| 267 | + <?php |
| 268 | + |
| 269 | + $collection = (new MongoDB\Client)->test->numbers; |
| 270 | + |
| 271 | + $document = $collection->findOneAndDelete( |
| 272 | + ['a' => ['$gt' =-> '100']], |
| 273 | + [ |
| 274 | + 'collation' => [ |
| 275 | + 'locale' => 'en', |
| 276 | + 'numericOrdering' => true, |
| 277 | + ], |
| 278 | + ] |
| 279 | + ); |
| 280 | + |
| 281 | +After the above operation, the following documents remain in the collection: |
| 282 | + |
| 283 | +.. code-block:: javascript |
| 284 | + |
| 285 | + { "_id" : 1, "a" : "16" } |
| 286 | + { "_id" : 2, "a" : "84" } |
| 287 | + |
| 288 | +If you perform the same operation without collation, the server deletes the |
| 289 | +first document it finds in which the lexical value of ``a`` is greater than |
| 290 | +``"100"``. |
| 291 | + |
| 292 | +.. code-block:: php |
| 293 | + |
| 294 | + <?php |
| 295 | + |
| 296 | + $collection = (new MongoDB\Client)->test->numbers; |
| 297 | + |
| 298 | + $document = $collection->findOneAndDelete(['a' => ['$gt' =-> '100']]); |
| 299 | + |
| 300 | +After the above operation is executed, the document in which ``a`` was equal to |
| 301 | +``"16"`` has been deleted, and the following documents remain in the collection: |
| 302 | + |
| 303 | +.. code-block:: javascript |
| 304 | + |
| 305 | + { "_id" : 2, "a" : "84" } |
| 306 | + { "_id" : 3, "a" : "179" } |
| 307 | + |
| 308 | +``deleteMany()`` |
| 309 | +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| 310 | + |
| 311 | +You can use collations with all the various CRUD operations which exist in the |
| 312 | +|php-library|. |
| 313 | + |
| 314 | +The collection ``recipes`` contains the following documents: |
| 315 | + |
| 316 | +.. code-block:: javascript |
| 317 | + |
| 318 | + { "_id" : 1, "dish" : "veggie empanadas", "cuisine" : "Spanish" } |
| 319 | + { "_id" : 2, "dish" : "beef bourgignon", "cuisine" : "French" } |
| 320 | + { "_id" : 3, "dish" : "chicken molé", "cuisine" : "Mexican" } |
| 321 | + { "_id" : 4, "dish" : "chicken paillard", "cuisine" : "french" } |
| 322 | + { "_id" : 5, "dish" : "pozole verde", "cuisine" : "Mexican" } |
| 323 | + |
| 324 | +Setting the ``strength`` parameter of the collation document to ``1`` or ``2`` |
| 325 | +causes the server to disregard case in the query filter. The following example |
| 326 | +uses a case-insensitive query filter to delete all records in which the |
| 327 | +``cuisine`` field matches ``French``. |
| 328 | + |
| 329 | +.. code-block:: php |
| 330 | + |
| 331 | + <?php |
| 332 | + |
| 333 | + $collection = (new MongoDB\Client)->test->recipes; |
| 334 | + |
| 335 | + $collection->deleteMany( |
| 336 | + ['cuisine' => 'French'], |
| 337 | + [ |
| 338 | + 'collation' => [ |
| 339 | + 'locale' => 'en_US', |
| 340 | + 'strength' => 1, |
| 341 | + ], |
| 342 | + ] |
| 343 | + ); |
| 344 | + |
| 345 | +After the above operation runs, the documents with ``_id`` values of ``2`` and |
| 346 | +``4`` are deleted from the collection. |
| 347 | + |
| 348 | +Aggregation |
| 349 | +~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| 350 | + |
| 351 | +To use collation with an :phpmethod:`aggregate() |
| 352 | +<MongoDB\\Collection::aggregate>` operation, specify a collation in the |
| 353 | +aggregation options. |
| 354 | + |
| 355 | +The following aggregation example uses a collection called ``names`` and groups |
| 356 | +the ``first_name`` field together, counts the total number of results in each |
| 357 | +group, and sorts the results by German phonebook order. |
| 358 | + |
| 359 | +.. code-block:: php |
| 360 | + |
| 361 | + <?php |
| 362 | + |
| 363 | + $collection = (new MongoDB\Client)->test->recipes; |
| 364 | + |
| 365 | + $cursor = $collection->aggregate( |
| 366 | + [ |
| 367 | + ['$group' => ['_id' => '$first_name', 'name_count' => ['$sum' => 1]]], |
| 368 | + ['$sort' => ['_id' => 1]], |
| 369 | + ], |
| 370 | + [ |
| 371 | + 'collation' => ['locale' => 'de@collation=phonebook'], |
| 372 | + ] |
| 373 | + ); |
