Detailed Description

Class representing server side document groupings within a MongoDB database.

Collections do not require or enforce a schema and documents inside of a collection can have different fields. While not a requirement, typically documents in a collection have a similar shape or related purpose.

Example:

// Connect and get a collection.
auto coll = mongo_client["database"]["collection"];

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ collection()

mongocxx::collection::collection ( )
noexcept

Default constructs a collection object.

The collection is equivalent to the state of a moved from collection. The only valid actions to take with a default constructed collection are to assign to it, or destroy it.

Member Function Documentation

◆ aggregate() [1/2]

cursor mongocxx::collection::aggregate ( const client_session session,
const pipeline pipeline,
const options::aggregate options = options::aggregate() 
)

Runs an aggregation framework pipeline against this collection.

Parameters
sessionThe mongocxx::client_session with which to perform the aggregation.
pipelineThe pipeline of aggregation operations to perform.
optionsOptional arguments, see mongocxx::options::aggregate.
Returns
A mongocxx::cursor with the results. If the query fails, the cursor throws mongocxx::query_exception when the returned cursor is iterated.
See also
https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/command/aggregate/
Note
In order to pass a read concern to this, you must use the collection level set read concern - collection::read_concern(rc). (Write concern supported only for MongoDB 3.4+).

◆ aggregate() [2/2]

cursor mongocxx::collection::aggregate ( const pipeline pipeline,
const options::aggregate options = options::aggregate() 
)

Runs an aggregation framework pipeline against this collection.

Parameters
pipelineThe pipeline of aggregation operations to perform.
optionsOptional arguments, see mongocxx::options::aggregate.
Returns
A mongocxx::cursor with the results. If the query fails, the cursor throws mongocxx::query_exception when the returned cursor is iterated.

◆ count_documents() [1/2]

std::int64_t mongocxx::collection::count_documents ( bsoncxx::document::view_or_value  filter,
const options::count options = options::count() 
)

Counts the number of documents matching the provided filter.

Parameters
filterThe filter that documents must match in order to be counted.
optionsOptional arguments, see mongocxx::options::count.
Returns
The count of the documents that matched the filter.
Exceptions
mongocxx::query_exceptionif the count operation fails.
Note
For a fast count of the total documents in a collection, see estimated_document_count().
Due to an oversight in MongoDB server versions 5.0.0 through 5.0.7, the count command was not included in Stable API v1. Users of the Stable API with estimatedDocumentCount are recommended to upgrade their server version to 5.0.8 or newer, or set apiStrict: false to avoid encountering errors.
