.limit(50)
.toList() // use paging with hasMore
Sets the minimum context access level the caller needs to return results. To return only results to which the caller has update access, for example, call
cursor.access(consts.accessLevels.update)
.Arguments
level
(Number)
Returns
this
Sets the internal cursor batch size for fetching results. Normally, the default is optimal but in cases where a large number of very small documents is being fetched, a larger batch size may be slightly more performant.
Arguments
sz
(Number) The internal cursor batch size (between 1 and 1000).
Returns
this
Releases the cursor resources. It's not necessary to close cursors as this is done automatically when a script ends or is exhausted, but in some cases a script may need to free up a cursor mid-stream in order to open up another one.
Returns
this
Executes a count using the current match filter and cursor options.
Returns
Number the number of matched documents.
Sets the references that should be expanded in the returned documents. Reference properties can also be selectively retrieved using the paths option.
Arguments
...props
(String) Property paths to expand.
Returns
this
Executes the cursor, calling
fn
with each document.Arguments
fn
(Function) a function to call for each element in the form of(document) => {}
.
Returns
undefined
Sets the property grant level for the operation.
Arguments
level
(Number)
Returns
this
Executes the cursor, returning true if
next()
can be safely called to fetch the next result.Returns
bool
Sets the optional properties to include in results. Optional properties can also be explicitly retrieved using the paths option. Some properties are marked as optional, meaning they are not included in results by default (e.g. certain List properties).
Arguments
...props
(String) Property paths to include (e.g.include('connections')
);
Returns
this
Returns true if a cursor has been opened and has been subsequently closed or exhausted.
Returns
Boolean
Limits the number of query results to
count
. By default, the script toList()
limit is 10, though cursors have no default limit.Arguments
count
(Number) The limit.
Returns
this
Specifies the locale of the cursor for any localized strings.
Arguments
identifier
(String) The locale identifier, which consists of a 2 or 3 letter language tag optionally followed by a region separated by_
. For example,en
,en_US
,en_UK
, etc.
Returns
this
Exhausts the cursor, calling
fn
with each document, and returning an array of results. Because map()
iterates through the cursor, the caller should set a sane limit()
.Arguments
fn
(Function) a function to call for each result in the form of(document) => { return document; }
.
Returns
Object[]
Set the maximum time a query is allowed to run.
Arguments
ms
(Number) A number between 10 and 10000.
Returns
this
Returns the next result. Throws a RangeError is there are no more results. Use
while ( cursor.hasNext() ) { cursor.next() }
or for result of cursor
loops to iterate cursors.Returns
Object
Opens a cursor (without fetching any results) which can be returned from a route script and streamed directly through the api. When returned, the script is detached and the cursor remains open until it's exhausted, incurring no further script ops or serialization costs. This is ideal for returning query results that do not require any post-query in-script processing.
- Without passthru: return org.objects.c_example.find().toList() (script->api->script->api->response)
- With passthru: return org.objects.c_example.find().limit(10).passthru() (script->api->response)
Returns
Object
Sets the query prefix for retrieving a nested List property. All cursor options are passed through the path down to the list (including grant and skipAcl). Compatible with
next()
, toArray()
, and with passthru()
(to retrieve a streamable cursor). For example, org.objects.c_grandparent.find().pathPrefix( '5a2c44bc8664e438e45387d5.c_parents.5a2c44f88664e438e45387d6.c_children' ).where( {c_prop: value} )
passes the where() option down through 2 list properties to the c_parents.c_children.Arguments
path
(String) Path to a list property.
Returns
Object
Returns the first matching document single path base on the current cursor options.
Arguments
path
(String) Property path to read (Reading through references and lists is supported. eg"/creator/name/first"
).options
(Object)throwNotFound
(Boolean) Defaults to true. If false, will return null if no match is found.
Returns
Object
Limits the result properties to
...props
. Only properties specified here (and those include()/expand()) are included in the results. Expandable reference properties and optional properties can also be listed here instead, limiting the output of those properties. For example, cursor.paths('c_parent.owner.name')
jumps through the c_parent reference and it's owner reference to return the name property. Path lookups through references requires appropriate access permissions.Arguments
...props
(String) Property paths to return in results.
Returns
this
Exhausts the cursor, calling
fn
with memo for each document, and returning memo
. Because reduce()
iterates through the cursor, the caller should set a sane limit()
.Arguments
fn
(Function) a function to call for each result in the form of(memo, document) => { return memo; }
.memo
(Object) an initial value forfn
.
Returns
Object
Skips
count
number of results. Please not that large offsets can be expensive and slow down your query. It's more efficient to use range queries.Arguments
count
(Number) The number of results to skip.
Returns
this
Skips initial lookup access control checks. Use in conjunction with
grant()
to set property level access.Arguments
bool
(Boolean)
Returns
this
Sets the sort options (e.g.
{c_num_prescriptions: -1, c_fullname: 1}
);Arguments
sort
(Object) an object containing indexed, sortable properties to sort on and their direction (1, -1)
Returns
this
Exhausts the cursor, setting the content type to
application/json
and writing directly to the Response as a list object. Values returned from the script after stream is called are ignored.Arguments
fnEach
(Function) optional function -(result, total) => { return false; }
- called after each item is written. Returningfalse
ends the stream early.fnMap
(Function) optional function -(result) => { return result; }
- called to transform each result before output, the result of which is JSON.stringify()'d.
Returns
undefined
Overwrites the initial filter passed in the constructor.
Arguments
filter
(Object)
Returns

const cursor = org.objects.c_nums
.find()

.skipAcl()
.skip(skip)
.grant(1)
.limit(10000)
return cursor.passthru();
Exhausts the cursor and returns an array of results (not a list! see toList() ). Because
toArray()
iterates through the cursor, the caller should set a sane limit()
.Returns
Object[]
Returns a list object based on
limit()
(or the default limit of 10).Returns
