my $document = $collection->by_example({ age => 20 });

range($attr,$lower,$upper[,$options])

Send 'range' simple query. Returns instance of ArangoDB::Cursor.

It looks for documents in the collection with attribute between two values.

Note: You must declare a skip-list index on the attribute in order to be able to use a range query.

my $cursor = $collection->range('age', 20, 29, { closed => 1 } );

$attr

The attribute path to check.

$lower

The lower bound.

$upper

The upper bound.

$options

Query option(HASH reference).The attributes of $options are:

closed: If true, use intervall including $lower and $upper, otherwise exclude $upper, but include $lower
limit: The maximal amount of documents to return. (optional)
skip: The documents to skip in the query. (optional)

near($latitude,$longitude[,$options])

Send 'near' simple query. Returns instance of ArangoDB::Cursor.

The default will find at most 100 documents near a given coordinate. The returned list is sorted according to the distance, with the nearest document coming first.

$cursor = $collection->near(0,0, { limit => 20 } );

$latitude

The latitude of the coordinate.

$longitude

The longitude of the coordinate.

$options

Query option(HASH reference).The attributes of $options are:

distance

If given, the attribute key used to store the distance to document(optional).

distance is the distance between the given point and the document in meter.

limit

The maximal amount of documents to return. (optional)

skip

The documents to skip in the query. (optional)

geo

If given, the identifier of the geo-index to use. (optional)

within($latitude,$longitude,$radius[,$options])

Send 'within' simple query. Returns instance of ArangoDB::Cursor.

This will find all documents with in a given radius around the coordinate (latitude, longitude). The returned list is sorted by distance.

$cursor = $collection->within(0,0, 10 * 1000, { distance => 'distance' } );

$latitude

The latitude of the coordinate.

$longitude

The longitude of the coordinate.

$radius

The maximal radius(meter).

$options

Query option(HASH reference).The attributes of $options are:

distance

If given, the attribute name used to store the distance to document(optional).

distance is the distance between the given point and the document in meter.

limit

The maximal amount of documents to return. (optional)

skip

The documents to skip in the query. (optional)

geo

If given, the identifier of the geo-index to use. (optional)

METHODS FOR INDEX HANDLING

ensure_hash_index($fileds)

Create hash index for the collection. Returns instance of ArangoDB::Index::Hash.

This hash is then used in queries to locate documents in O(1) operations.

$fileds is the field of index.

$collection->ensure_hash_index([qw/user.name/]);
$collection->save({ user => { name => 'John', age => 42,  } });

ensure_unique_constraint($fileds)

Create unique hash index for the collection. Returns instance of ArangoDB::Index::Hash.

This hash is then used in queries to locate documents in O(1) operations. If using unique hash index then no two documents are allowed to have the same set of attribute values.

$fileds is the field of index.

ensure_skiplist($fileds)

Create skip-list index for the collection. Returns instance of ArangoDB::Index::SkipList.

This skip-list is then used in queries to locate documents within a given range.

$fileds is the field of index.

$collection->ensure_skiplist([qw/user.age/]);
$collection->save({ user => { name => 'John', age => 42 } });

ensure_unique_skiplist($fileds)

Create unique skip-list index for the collection. Returns instance of ArangoDB::Index::SkipList.

This skip-list is then used in queries to locate documents within a given range. If using unique skip-list then no two documents are allowed to have the same set of attribute values.

$fileds is the field of index.

ensure_geo_index($fileds[,$is_geojson])

Create geo index for the collection. Returns instance of ArangoDB::Index::Geo.

$fileds: The field of index.
$is_geojson: Boolean flag. If it is true, then the order within the list is longitude followed by latitude.

Create an geo index for a list attribute:

$collection->ensure_geo_index( [qw/loc/] );
$collection->save({ loc => [0 ,0] });

Create an geo index for a hash array attribute:

$collection->ensure_geo_index( [qw/location.latitude location.longitude/] );
$collection->save({ location => { latitude => 0, longitude => 0 } });

ensure_geo_constraint($fileds[,$ignore_null])

It works like ensure_geo_index() but requires that the documents contain a valid geo definition. Returns instance of ArangoDB::Index::Geo.

$fileds: The field of index.
$ignore_null: Boolean flag. If it is true, then documents with a null in location or at least one null in latitude or longitude are ignored.

ensure_cap_constraint($size)

Create cap constraint for the collection.Returns instance of ArangoDB::Index::CapConstraint.

It is possible to restrict the size of collection.

$size is the maximal number of documents.

Restrict the number of document to at most 100 documents:

$collection->ensure_cap_constraint(100);

get_index($index_id)

Returns index object.(ArangoDB::Index::*)

See:

indexes()

Returns list of indexes of the collection.
