Member Function Documentation

CollectionAdd add

(

DocDefinition

document[, DocDefinition document,...]

)

Stores documents to be added into a collection.

Returns

This CollectionAdd object.

This function receives one or more document definitions to be added into a collection. The documents are cached in an internal list and are added to the collection when the execute() method is called.

A document definition may be provided in two ways:

• Using a dictionary containing the document fields.
• Using A JSON string as a document expression.

There are three ways to add multiple documents:

• Passing several parameters to the function, each parameter should be a document definition.
• Passing a list of document definitions.
• Calling this function several times before calling execute().

To be added, every document must have a string property named '_id' ideally with a universal unique identifier (UUID) as value. If the '_id' property is missing, it is automatically set with an internally generated UUID.

Method Chaining

This method can be called many times, every time it is called the received document(s) will be cached into an internal list. The actual addition into the collection will occur only when the execute() method is called.

Examples

Using a Document List

Adding document using an existing document list

var result = collection.add([{ "name": 'my sexth', "passed": 'again', "count": 5 }, mysqlx.expr('{"name": "my senevth", "passed": "yep again", "count": 5}')]).execute();
print("Affected Rows Mixed List:", result.affectedItemsCount, "\n");

Multiple Parameters

Adding document using a separate parameter for each document on a single call to add(...)

var result = collection.add({ "name": 'my eigth', "passed": 'yep', "count": 6 }, mysqlx.expr('{"name": "my nineth", "passed": "yep again", "count": 6}')).execute();
print("Affected Rows Multiple Params:", result.affectedItemsCount, "\n");

Chaining Addition

Adding documents using chained calls to add(...)

var result = collection.add({ name: 'my fourth', passed: 'again', count: 4 }).add({ name: 'my fifth', passed: 'once again', count: 5 }).execute();
print("Affected Rows Chained:", result.affectedItemsCount, "\n");

JSON as Document Expressions

A document can be represented as a JSON expression as follows:

var result = collection.add(mysqlx.expr('{"name": "my fifth", "passed": "document", "count": 1}')).execute();
print("Affected Rows Single Expression:", result.affectedItemsCount, "\n");
