@startDocuBlock REST_DOCUMENT_READ_ALL @brief reads all documents from collection

@RESTHEADER{PUT /_api/simple/all-keys, Read all documents}

@RESTQUERYPARAMETERS

@RESTQUERYPARAM{collection,string,optional} The name of the collection. This parameter is only for an easier migration path from old versions. In ArangoDB versions < 3.0, the URL path was /_api/document and this was passed in via the query parameter "collection". This combination was removed. The collection name can be passed to /_api/simple/all-keys as body parameter (preferred) or as query parameter.

@RESTBODYPARAM{collection,string,required,} The collection that should be queried

@RESTBODYPARAM{type,string,optional,} The type of the result. The following values are allowed:

• id: returns an array of document ids (_id attributes)
• key: returns an array of document keys (_key attributes)
• path: returns an array of document URI paths. This is the default.

@RESTDESCRIPTION Returns an array of all keys, ids, or URI paths for all documents in the collection identified by collection. The type of the result array is determined by the type attribute.

Note that the results have no defined order and thus the order should not be relied on.

@RESTRETURNCODES

@RESTRETURNCODE{201} All went well.

@RESTRETURNCODE{404} The collection does not exist.

@EXAMPLES

Return all document paths

@EXAMPLE_ARANGOSH_RUN{RestDocumentHandlerReadDocumentAllPath} var cn = "products"; db._drop(cn); db._create(cn);

db.products.save({"hello1":"world1"});
db.products.save({"hello2":"world1"});
db.products.save({"hello3":"world1"});
var url = "/_api/simple/all-keys";
var body = {collection: cn};

var response = logCurlRequest('PUT', url, body);

assert(response.code === 201);

logJsonResponse(response);
db._drop(cn);

@END_EXAMPLE_ARANGOSH_RUN

Return all document keys

@EXAMPLE_ARANGOSH_RUN{RestDocumentHandlerReadDocumentAllKey} var cn = "products"; db._drop(cn); db._create(cn);

db.products.save({"hello1":"world1"});
db.products.save({"hello2":"world1"});
db.products.save({"hello3":"world1"});
var url = "/_api/simple/all-keys";
var body = {collection: cn, type: "id"};

var response = logCurlRequest('PUT', url, body);

assert(response.code === 201);

logJsonResponse(response);
db._drop(cn);

@END_EXAMPLE_ARANGOSH_RUN

Collection does not exist

@EXAMPLE_ARANGOSH_RUN{RestDocumentHandlerReadDocumentAllCollectionDoesNotExist} var cn = "doesnotexist"; db._drop(cn); var url = "/_api/document/" + cn;

var response = logCurlRequest('GET', url);

assert(response.code === 404);

logJsonResponse(response);
