@brief constructs an all query for a collection collection.all()

Fetches all documents from a collection and returns a cursor. You can use toArray, next, or hasNext to access the result. The result can be limited using the skip and limit operator.

@EXAMPLES

Use toArray to get all documents at once:

@EXAMPLE_ARANGOSH_OUTPUT{001_collectionAll} ~ db._create("five"); db.five.save({ name : "one" }); db.five.save({ name : "two" }); db.five.save({ name : "three" }); db.five.save({ name : "four" }); db.five.save({ name : "five" }); db.five.all().toArray(); ~ db._drop("five"); @END_EXAMPLE_ARANGOSH_OUTPUT

Use limit to restrict the documents:

@EXAMPLE_ARANGOSH_OUTPUT{002_collectionAllNext} ~ db._create("five"); db.five.save({ name : "one" }); db.five.save({ name : "two" }); db.five.save({ name : "three" }); db.five.save({ name : "four" }); db.five.save({ name : "five" }); db.five.all().limit(2).toArray(); ~ db._drop("five"); @END_EXAMPLE_ARANGOSH_OUTPUT
