Manipulating documents

These functions implement the HTTP API for manipulating documents.

ArangoCollection.documentExists

ArangoCollection.documentExists(String key) : Boolean

Checks if the document exists by reading a single document head

Arguments

  • key: String

    The key of the document

Examples

ArangoDB arango = new ArangoDB.Builder().build();
ArangoDatabase db = arango.db("myDB");
ArangoCollection collection = db.collection("some-collection");

Boolean exists = collection.documentExists("some-key");

ArangoCollection.getDocument

ArangoCollection.getDocument(String key, Class<T> type, DocumentReadOptions options) : T

Retrieves the document with the given _key from the collection.

Arguments

  • key: String

    The key of the document

  • type: Class<T>

    The type of the document (POJO class, VPackSlice or String for Json)

  • options: DocumentReadOptions

    • ifNoneMatch: String

      Document revision must not contain If-None-Match

    • ifMatch: String

      Document revision must contain If-Match

    • catchException: Boolean

      Whether or not catch possible thrown exceptions

Examples

ArangoDB arango = new ArangoDB.Builder().build();
ArangoDatabase db = arango.db("myDB");
ArangoCollection collection = db.collection("some-collection");

BaseDocument document = collection.getDocument("some-key", BaseDocument.class);

ArangoCollection.getDocuments

ArangoCollection.getDocuments(Collection<String> keys, Class<T> type) : MultiDocumentEntity<T>

Retrieves multiple documents with the given _key from the collection.

Arguments

  • keys: Collection<String>

    The key of the document

  • type: Class<T>

    The type of the document (POJO class, VPackSlice or String for Json)

Examples

ArangoDB arango = new ArangoDB.Builder().build();
ArangoDatabase db = arango.db("myDB");
ArangoCollection collection = db.collection("some-collection");

Collection<String> keys = Arrays.asList("some-key", "some-other-key");
MultiDocumentEntity<BaseDocument> documents = collection.getDocuments(keys, BaseDocument.class);

ArangoCollection.insertDocument

ArangoCollection.insertDocument(T value, DocumentCreateOptions options) : DocumentCreateEntity<T>

Creates a new document from the given document, unless there is already a document with the _key given. If no _key is given, a new unique _key is generated automatically.

Arguments

  • value: T

    A representation of a single document (POJO, VPackSlice or String for Json)

  • options: DocumentCreateOptions

    • waitForSync: Boolean

      Wait until document has been synced to disk.

    • returnNew: Boolean

      Return additionally the complete new document under the attribute new in the result.

    • returnOld: Boolean

      Additionally return the complete old document under the attribute old in the result. Only available if the overwrite option is used.

    • overwrite: Boolean

      If set to true, the insert becomes a replace-insert. If a document with the same _key already exists the new document is not rejected with unique constraint violated but will replace the old document.

    • silent: Boolean

      If set to true, an empty object will be returned as response. No meta-data will be returned for the created document. This option can be used to save some network traffic.

Examples

ArangoDB arango = new ArangoDB.Builder().build();
ArangoDatabase db = arango.db("myDB");
ArangoCollection collection = db.collection("some-collection");

BaseDocument document = new BaseDocument();
document.addAttribute("some", "data");
collection.insertDocument(document, new DocumentCreateOptions());

ArangoCollection.insertDocuments

ArangoCollection.insertDocuments(Collection<T> values, DocumentCreateOptions options) : MultiDocumentEntity<DocumentCreateEntity<T>>

Creates new documents from the given documents, unless there is already a document with the _key given. If no _key is given, a new unique _key is generated automatically.

  • options: DocumentCreateOptions

    • waitForSync: Boolean

    • returnNew: Boolean

      Return additionally the complete new document under the attribute new in the result.

    • returnOld: Boolean

      Additionally return the complete old document under the attribute old in the result. Only available if the overwrite option is used.

    • overwrite: Boolean

      If set to true, the insert becomes a replace-insert. If a document with the same _key already exists the new document is not rejected with unique constraint violated but will replace the old document.
