Class: AggregationCursor

AggregationCursor

Creates a new Aggregation Cursor instance (INTERNAL TYPE, do not instantiate directly)

Fires:
Returns:
AggregationCursor instance.

Extends

Methods

Set the batch size for the cursor.

Name Type Description
value number

The number of documents to return per batch. See aggregation documentation.

Throws:

Clone the cursor

close(callback){Promise}

Close the cursor, sending a AggregationCursor command and emitting close.

Name Type Description
callback AggregationCursor~resultCallback optional

The result callback.

Returns:
Promise if no callback passed

each(callback){null}

Iterates over all the documents for this cursor. As with {cursor.toArray},
not all of the elements will be iterated if this cursor had been previously accessed.
In that case, {cursor.rewind} can be used to reset the cursor. However, unlike
{cursor.toArray}, the cursor will only hold a maximum of batch size elements
at any given time if batch size is specified. Otherwise, the caller is responsible
for making sure that the entire result can fit the memory.

Name Type Description
callback AggregationCursor~resultCallback

The result callback.

Deprecated
  • Yes
Throws:

explain(verbosity, callback){Promise}

Execute the explain for the cursor

For backwards compatibility, a verbosity of true is interpreted as "allPlansExecution"
and false as "queryPlanner". Prior to server version 3.6, aggregate()
ignores the verbosity parameter and executes in "queryPlanner".

Name Type Default Description
verbosity 'queryPlanner' | 'queryPlannerExtended' | 'executionStats' | 'allPlansExecution' | boolean true optional

An optional mode in which to run the explain.

callback AggregationCursor~resultCallback optional

The result callback.

Returns:
Promise if no callback passed

forEach(iterator, callback){null}

Iterates over all the documents for this cursor using the iterator, callback pattern.

Name Type Description
iterator AggregationCursor~iteratorCallback

The iteration callback.

callback AggregationCursor~endCallback

The end callback.

Throws:

Add a geoNear stage to the aggregation pipeline

Name Type Description
document object

The geoNear stage document.

Add a group stage to the aggregation pipeline

Name Type Description
document object

The group stage document.

hasNext(callback){Promise}

Check if there is any document still available in the cursor

Name Type Description
callback AggregationCursor~resultCallback optional

The result callback.

Throws:
Returns:
Promise if no callback passed

isClosed(){boolean}

Is the cursor closed

Add a limit stage to the aggregation pipeline

Name Type Description
value number

The state limit value.

Add a lookup stage to the aggregation pipeline

Name Type Description
document object

The lookup stage document.

Add a match stage to the aggregation pipeline

Name Type Description
document object

The match stage document.

Add a maxTimeMS stage to the aggregation pipeline

Name Type Description
value number

The state maxTimeMS value.

next(callback){Promise}

Get the next available document from the cursor, returns null if no more documents are available.

Name Type Description
callback AggregationCursor~resultCallback optional

The result callback.

Throws:
Returns:
Promise if no callback passed

Add a out stage to the aggregation pipeline

Name Type Description
destination number

The destination name.

This method will cause a stream in flowing-mode to stop emitting data events. Any data that becomes available will remain in the internal buffer.

inherited pipe(destination, options){null}

This method pulls all the data out of a readable stream, and writes it to the supplied destination, automatically managing the flow so that the destination is not overwhelmed by a fast readable stream.

Name Type Description
destination Writable

The destination for writing data

options object optional

Pipe options

Add a project stage to the aggregation pipeline

Name Type Description
document object

The project stage document.

inherited read(size){String|Buffer|null}

The read() method pulls some data out of the internal buffer and returns it. If there is no data available, then it will return null.

Name Type Description
size number

Optional argument to specify how much data to read.

Add a redact stage to the aggregation pipeline

Name Type Description
document object

The redact stage document.

This method will cause the readable stream to resume emitting data events.

Resets the cursor

inherited setEncoding(encoding){null}

Call this function to cause the stream to return strings of the specified encoding instead of Buffer objects.

Name Type Description
encoding string

The encoding to use.

Add a skip stage to the aggregation pipeline

Name Type Description
value number

The state skip value.

Add a sort stage to the aggregation pipeline

Name Type Description
document object

The sort stage document.

toArray(callback){Promise}

Returns an array of documents. The caller is responsible for making sure that there
is enough memory to store the results. Note that the array only contain partial
results when this cursor had been previously accessed. In that case,
cursor.rewind() can be used to reset the cursor.

Name Type Description
callback AggregationCursor~toArrayResultCallback optional

The result callback.

Throws:
Returns:
Promise if no callback passed

inherited unpipe(destination){null}

This method will remove the hooks set up for a previous pipe() call.

Name Type Description
destination Writable optional

The destination for writing data

inherited unshift(chunk){null}

This is useful in certain cases where a stream is being consumed by a parser, which needs to "un-consume" some data that it has optimistically pulled out of the source, so that the stream can be passed on to some other party.

Name Type Description
chunk Buffer | string

Chunk of data to unshift onto the read queue.

Add a unwind stage to the aggregation pipeline

Name Type Description
field string | object

The unwind field name or stage document.

inherited wrap(stream){null}

Versions of Node prior to v0.10 had streams that did not implement the entire Streams API as it is today. (See "Compatibility" below for more information.)

Name Type Description
stream Stream

An "old style" readable stream.
