-Example (MongoDB Shell)Code examples
-
-# $
-
-The `$` projection operator limits the contents of an array field to return only the first element that matches the query condition. It is used to project a single matching array element.
-
-**Parameters**
-
-  * `field.$`: The array field with the positional operator to project the first matching element.
-
-
-
-
-## Example (MongoDB Shell)
-
-The following example demonstrates using the `$` projection operator to return only the matching array element.
-
-**Create sample documents**
-    
-    
-    db.students.insertMany([
-      { _id: 1, name: "Alice", grades: [85, 92, 78, 95] },
-      { _id: 2, name: "Bob", grades: [70, 88, 92, 65] },
-      { _id: 3, name: "Charlie", grades: [95, 89, 91, 88] }
-    ]);
-
-**Query example**
-    
-    
-    db.students.find(
-      { grades: { $gte: 90 } },
-      { name: 1, "grades.$": 1 }
-    );
-
-**Output**
-    
-    
-    { "_id" : 1, "name" : "Alice", "grades" : [ 92 ] }
-    { "_id" : 2, "name" : "Bob", "grades" : [ 92 ] }
-    { "_id" : 3, "name" : "Charlie", "grades" : [ 95 ] }
-
-In this example, only the first grade that is greater than or equal to 90 is returned for each student.
