Preparing the Examples

Some examples in the manuals assume that you have created the following collections:

• demo
• five
• geo

Some of the examples may destroy the collection. In that case you can use one of the following script to restore the collection.

examples.js: A JavaScript script usable within the ArangoDB shell to regenerate the above collections.

examples.sh: A shell script using curl to setup the collections. The script works without any additional client, but will not be able to detect any errors.

Collection "demo"

avocsh> db.demo.all();
[
  { 
    _id : "161039/4323870", 
    _rev : 4323870, 
    name : "Hugo", 
    firstName : "Egon", 
    address : { 
      city : "Hier", 
      street : "Neue Strasse"
    }, 
    hobbies : [
      "swimming", 
      "programming"
    ]
  },
