Can we handle the Embedded documents efficiently.

Hello Everyone,
I want to perform the CRUD operations on the Embedded documents.

• like fetching the embedded document by its specific field and update or delete it.
• Creating indexes for the embedded documents, so that we ensure the same document is not getting inserted in the embedded document.
• Also, we can add here the implementation like the Django reverse query?

@harshalizode thank you and we do understand that but https://mongoz.tarsild.io/embedded-documents/?h=em is not design for that. That is the job of a Document.

Embedded documents are not documents and do not have CRUD operations.

Handling "efficiently" means nothing in this case. If we convert the embedded document to perform CRUD, it will be.... A document. Makes absolutely no sense.

Can we then retrieve the embedded document by filtering specific fields in the Document without iterating over the embedded documents?

The embedded document if you see it is a simple pydantic base model with Mongoz fields. I don't see how would that would be possible? You simply query the document and you can select only the field corresponding to the embedded document? Although that could be a nice possible feature to add later

With the aggregation query it is possible to filter the nested embedded documents. Can we implement this in our Mongoz Query Manager?
