Optional awaitOptional batchSpecifies the number of documents to return in each response from MongoDB
Optional bsonreturn BSON regular expressions as BSONRegExp instances.
false
Optional checkthe serializer will check if keys are valid.
false
Optional commentComment to apply to the operation.
In server versions pre-4.4, 'comment' must be string. A server error will be thrown if any other type is provided.
In server versions 4.4 and above, 'comment' can be any valid BSON type.
Optional enableEnable utf8 validation when deserializing BSON documents. Defaults to true.
Optional fieldsallow to specify if there what fields we wish to return as unserialized raw buffer.
null
Optional ignoreserialize will not emit undefined fields
note that the driver sets this to false
true
Optional maxWhen applicable maxAwaitTimeMS controls the amount of time subsequent getMores
that a cursor uses to fetch more data should take. (ex. cursor.next())
Optional maxWhen applicable maxTimeMS controls the amount of time the initial command
that constructs a cursor should take. (ex. find, aggregate, listCollections)
Optional noOptional promotewhen deserializing a Binary will return it as a node.js Buffer instance.
false
Optional promotewhen deserializing a Long will fit it into a Number if it's smaller than 53 bits.
true
Optional promotewhen deserializing will promote BSON values to their Node.js closest equivalent types.
true
Optional rawEnabling the raw option will return a Node.js Buffer which is allocated using allocUnsafe API. See this section from the Node.js Docs here for more detail about what "unsafe" refers to in this context. If you need to maintain your own editable clone of the bytes returned for an extended life time of the process, it is recommended you allocate your own buffer and clone the contents:
const raw = await collection.findOne({}, { raw: true });
const myBuffer = Buffer.alloc(raw.byteLength);
myBuffer.set(raw, 0);
// Only save and use `myBuffer` beyond this point
Please note there is a known limitation where this option cannot be used at the MongoClient level (see NODE-3946).
It does correctly work at Db, Collection, and per operation the same as other BSON options work.
Optional readOptional readOptional serializeserialize the javascript functions
false
Optional sessionOptional tailableBy default, MongoDB will automatically close a cursor when the client has exhausted all results in the cursor. However, for capped collections you may use a Tailable Cursor that remains open after the client exhausts the results in the initial cursor.
Optional usewhen deserializing a Long return as a BigInt.
false
Generated using TypeDoc
If awaitData is set to true, when the cursor reaches the end of the capped collection, MongoDB blocks the query thread for a period of time waiting for new data to arrive. When new data is inserted into the capped collection, the blocked thread is signaled to wake up and return the next batch to the client.
