title: 'Welcome to the tutorial!',
text: 'This is a user-interactive tutorial on ArangoDB and the ArangoDB shell.\n' +
'It will give you a first look into ArangoDB and how it works.'
},
{
title: 'JavaScript Shell',
text: "On this shell's prompt, you can issue arbitrary JavaScript commands.\n" +
'So you are able to do things like...:\n\n' +
' number = 123;\n' +
' number = number * 10;'
},
{
title: 'Running Complex Instructions',
text: 'You can also run more complex instructions, such as for loops:\n\n' +
' for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) { number = number + 1; }'
},
{
title: 'Printing Results',
text: 'As you can see, the result of the last command executed is printed automatically. ' +
'To explicitly print a value at any other time, there is the print function:\n\n' +
' for (i = 0; i < 5; ++i) { print("I am a JavaScript shell"); }'
},
{
title: 'Creating Collections',
text: 'ArangoDB is a document database. This means that we store data as documents ' +
"(which are similar to JavaScript objects) in so-called 'collections'. " +
"Let's create a collection named 'places' now:\n\n" +
" db._create('places');\n\n" +
'Note: each collection is identified by a unique name. Trying to create a ' +
'collection that already exists will produce an error.'
},
{
title: 'Displaying Collections',
text: 'Now you can take a look at the collection(s) you just created:\n\n' +
' db._collections();\n\n' +
"Please note that all collections will be returned, including ArangoDB's pre-defined " +
'system collections.'
},
{
title: 'Creating Documents',
text: "Now we have a collection, but it is empty. So let's create some documents!\n\n" +
' db.places.save({ _key : "foo", city : "foo-city" });\n' +
' for (i = 0; i <= 10; i++) { db.places.save({ _key: "example" + i, zipcode: i }) };'
},
{
title: 'Displaying All Documents',
text: 'You want to take a look at your docs? No problem:\n\n' +
' db.places.toArray();'
},
{
title: 'Counting Documents',
text: "To see how many documents there are in a collection, use the 'count' method:\n\n" +
' db.places.count();'
},
{
title: 'Retrieving Single Documents',
text: "As you can see, each document has some meta attributes '_id', '_key' and '_rev'.\n" +
"The '_key' attribute can be used to quickly retrieve a single document from " +
'a collection:\n\n' +
' db.places.document("foo");\n' +
' db.places.document("example5");'
},
{
title: 'Retrieving Single Documents',
text: "The '_id' attribute can also be used to retrieve documents using the 'db' object:\n\n" +
' db._document("places/foo");\n' +
' db._document("places/example5");'
},
{
title: 'Modifying Documents',
text: 'You can modify existing documents. Try to add a new attribute to a document and ' +
'verify whether it has been added:\n\n' +
' db._update("places/foo", { zipcode: 39535 });\n' +
' db._document("places/foo");'
},
{
title: 'Document Revisions',
text: "Note that after updating the document, its '_rev' attribute changed automatically.\n" +
"The '_rev' attribute contains a document revision number, and it can be used for " +
"conditional modifications. Here's an example of how to avoid lost updates in case " +
'multiple clients are accessing the documents in parallel:\n\n' +
' doc = db._document("places/example1");\n' +
' db._update("places/example1", { someValue: 23 });\n' +
' db._update(doc, { someValue: 42 });\n\n' +
'Note that the first update will succeed because it was unconditional. The second ' +
"update however is conditional because we're also passing the document's revision " +
"id in the first parameter to _update. As the revision id we're passing to update " +
"does not match the document's current revision anymore, the update is rejected."
},
{
title: 'Removing Documents',
text: 'Deleting single documents can be achieved by providing the document _id or _key:\n\n' +
' db._remove("places/example7");\n' +
' db.places.remove("example8");\n' +
' db.places.count();'
},
{
title: 'Searching Documents',
text: 'Searching for documents with specific attributes can be done by using the ' +
'byExample method:\n\n' +
' db._create("users");\n' +
' for (i = 0; i < 10; ++i) { ' +
'db.users.save({ name: "username" + i, active: (i % 3 == 0), age: 30 + i }); }\n' +
' db.users.byExample({ active: false }).toArray();\n' +
' db.users.byExample({ name: "username3", active: true }).toArray();\n'
},
{
title: 'Running AQL Queries',
text: 'ArangoDB also provides a query language for more complex matching:\n\n' +
' db._query("FOR u IN users FILTER u.active == true && u.age >= 33 ' +
'RETURN { username: u.name, age: u.age }").toArray();'
},
{
title: 'Using Databases',
text: 'By default, the ArangoShell connects to the default database. The default database ' +
"is named '_system'. To create another database, use the '_createDatabase' method of the " +
"'db' object. To switch into an existing database, use '_useDatabase'. To get rid of a " +
"database and all of its collections, use '_dropDatabase':\n\n" +
' db._createDatabase("mydb");\n' +
' db._useDatabase("mydb");\n' +
' db._useDatabase("_system");\n' +
' db._dropDatabase("mydb");'
