Create a document in a collection

Problem

You need to create a document in an existing collection in the current database.

Solution

Use the Create function:

client.query(
  q.Create(
    q.Collection('dilapidated_huts'),
    { data: { material: 'straw' } }
  )
)
.then((ret) => console.log(ret))
.catch((err) => console.error(
  'Error: [%s] %s: %s',
  err.name,
  err.message,
  err.errors()[0].description,
))

{
  ref: Ref(Collection("dilapidated_huts"), "300223085354680832"),
  ts: 1622573895720000,
  data: { material: 'straw' }
}

Query metrics:

bytesIn: 105
bytesOut: 198
computeOps: 1
readOps: 0
writeOps: 1
readBytes: 0
writeBytes: 208
queryTime: 37ms
retries: 0

Discussion

The Create function needs both the Reference to a collection and the document’s data.
