# \$1push
<a name="push-aggregation"></a>

The `$push` aggregation operator returns an array of all values from a specified expression for each group. It is typically used within the `$group` stage to accumulate values into an array.

**Parameters**
+ `expression`: The expression to evaluate for each document in the group.

## Example (MongoDB Shell)
<a name="push-aggregation-examples"></a>

The following example demonstrates using the `$push` operator to collect all product names for each category.

**Create sample documents**

```
db.sales.insertMany([
  { _id: 1, category: "Electronics", product: "Laptop", amount: 1200 },
  { _id: 2, category: "Electronics", product: "Mouse", amount: 25 },
  { _id: 3, category: "Furniture", product: "Desk", amount: 350 },
  { _id: 4, category: "Furniture", product: "Chair", amount: 150 },
  { _id: 5, category: "Electronics", product: "Keyboard", amount: 75 }
]);
```

**Query example**

```
db.sales.aggregate([
  {
    $group: {
      _id: "$category",
      products: { $push: "$product" }
    }
  }
]);
```

**Output**

```
[
  { _id: 'Furniture', products: [ 'Desk', 'Chair' ] },
  { _id: 'Electronics', products: [ 'Laptop', 'Mouse', 'Keyboard' ] }
]
```
