Pieces of code I've written while taking 10gen's M101J MongoDB for Java Developers course.

built-in.js

// querying and cursors
cursor = db.people.find(); null ;

cursor.hasNext() // returns true (if there is another set of results) and false (if not)
cursor.next() // returns the next result and move the cursor foward

// Limiting the set of results returned by the queries
cursor.limit(5); null; // limit the results returned by the cursor (default is 20)
// note: the 'null' keyword is used to prevent the mongoshell from printing that query out

// Sorting
cursor.sort( { key : [1, -1] } ); null; // returns sorted results
cursor.sort( { name : -1 } ); null; // returns sorted results in reverse order

// Limiting, sorting and skiping
cursor.sort( { name : -1 } ).limit(3).skip(2); null;
db.scores.find( {type: "exam"} ).sort( { score : -1 } ).skip(50).limit(20);

crud.js

/*

// INSERT
  // fruits collection
  db.fruits.insert( {name : "apple", color : "red", shape : "round", units : 10} )
  db.fruits.insert( {name : "orange", color : "orange", shape : "round", units : 5} )

  // $type : returns records matching selected data type
  db.fruits.find( { name : { $type : 2 } ) // 2 = BSON string type
  
  // regex : returns records matching regular expression

    // dot notation = search nested documents
    db.users.find( { "email.work" : "[email protected]" } ) // search inside a nested array field
    db.users.find( { "email.work" : "[email protected]" } ) // search inside a nested object field
