php - Facing issue while reusing mongo connection -

i have 'employees' collection

i'm creating new mongo connection using following code

$mongoobject = db::connection('mongodb')->collection('employees');  //fetch employee employee id $employee = $mongoobject->where('employee_id', $input['employee_id'])->first();  //fetch employees  $employees = $mongoobject->get(); 

now problem got first response when tried fetch employees using same mongo connection gives 1 record. per understanding it's not flushing conditions after use ->first() of eloquent.

is there way reuse same mongo connection using eloquent methods?

thanks.

after calling first() limit being set 1 why returns 1 record.

following code works:-

$mongoobject = db::connection('mongodb')->collection('employees');  //fetch employee employee id $employee = $mongoobject->where('employee_id', $input['employee_id'])->first();  //fetch employees  $employees = $mongoobject->newquery()->from('employees')->get();
