ArangoDB: Get multiple documents in one call

Signature

collection.document(array)

 

This method takes an array of arguments and return all the documents matched to these arguments.

 

Let’s take an example and experiment with it.

127.0.0.1:8529@abc_org> db.user.toArray()
[ 
  { 
    "_key" : "17089", 
    "_id" : "user/17089", 
    "_rev" : "_cRe1GKq---", 
    "id" : 1, 
    "firstName" : "Sailu", 
    "lastName" : "Ptr", 
    "age" : 32 
  }, 
  { 
    "_key" : "17091", 
    "_id" : "user/17091", 
    "_rev" : "_cRe1GKu---", 
    "id" : 2, 
    "firstName" : "Gopi", 
    "lastName" : "Battu", 
    "age" : 33 
  }, 
  { 
    "_key" : "17093", 
    "_id" : "user/17093", 
    "_rev" : "_cRe1GKy---", 
    "id" : 3, 
    "firstName" : "Krishna", 
    "lastName" : "Gurram", 
    "age" : 32 
  }, 
  { 
    "_key" : "17095", 
    "_id" : "user/17095", 
    "_rev" : "_cRe1H-6---", 
    "id" : 4, 
    "firstName" : "Venkat", 
    "lastName" : "Ptr", 
    "age" : 35 
  } 
]

 

Get the documents by _id

127.0.0.1:8529@abc_org> db.user.document(["user/17095", "user/17093"])
[ 
  { 
    "_key" : "17095", 
    "_id" : "user/17095", 
    "_rev" : "_cRe1H-6---", 
    "id" : 4, 
    "firstName" : "Venkat", 
    "lastName" : "Ptr", 
    "age" : 35 
  }, 
  { 
    "_key" : "17093", 
    "_id" : "user/17093", 
    "_rev" : "_cRe1GKy---", 
    "id" : 3, 
    "firstName" : "Krishna", 
    "lastName" : "Gurram", 
    "age" : 32 
  } 
]

 

Get documents by _key

127.0.0.1:8529@abc_org> db.user.document(["17095", "17093"])
[ 
  { 
    "_key" : "17095", 
    "_id" : "user/17095", 
    "_rev" : "_cRe1H-6---", 
    "id" : 4, 
    "firstName" : "Venkat", 
    "lastName" : "Ptr", 
    "age" : 35 
  }, 
  { 
    "_key" : "17093", 
    "_id" : "user/17093", 
    "_rev" : "_cRe1GKy---", 
    "id" : 3, 
    "firstName" : "Krishna", 
    "lastName" : "Gurram", 
    "age" : 32 
  } 
]

 

Get documents by both _id, _key

127.0.0.1:8529@abc_org> db.user.document(["user/17095", "17093"])
[ 
  { 
    "_key" : "17095", 
    "_id" : "user/17095", 
    "_rev" : "_cRe1H-6---", 
    "id" : 4, 
    "firstName" : "Venkat", 
    "lastName" : "Ptr", 
    "age" : 35 
  }, 
  { 
    "_key" : "17093", 
    "_id" : "user/17093", 
    "_rev" : "_cRe1GKy---", 
    "id" : 3, 
    "firstName" : "Krishna", 
    "lastName" : "Gurram", 
    "age" : 32 
  } 
]
