Suppose the collection shops contains the following records:

{ "_id": 2, "staff": [ "Steph", "Jack" ] }

Count the number of employees in each store:

// Sample code in the Cloud Function environment
const tcb = require('@cloudbase/node-sdk')
const app = tcb.init({
env: 'xxx'
})

const db = app.database()
const $ = db.command.aggregate
const _ = db.command

exports.main = async (event, context) => {
const res = await db
.collection('staff')
.aggregate()
.project({
totalStaff: $.size('$staff')
})
.end()
console.log(res.data)
}

The returned result is as follows:

{ "_id": 1, "totalStaff": 3 }
{ "_id": 2, "totalStaff": 2 }
