Set

Set methods and properties.

Description

A Set represents a group of values, for example, documents in a Collection. When a Set is returned from a query, it is materialized into a page of results that includes a subset of the Set with a pagination cursor.

Some Set methods have lazy loading, as opposed to eager loading, in that they compute the result when the data is needed instead of instantly. Eager methods return a result Set instantly. Lazy methods return a result Set when the query forces the Set to be materialized. See the individual method description for whether it is lazy loading or not. For set.distinct() and set.order() the full Set is read to get the distinct and ordered version when a page on the Set is materialized.

Static methods

Method Description

Get an ordered Set of values given beginning and ending values.

Creates a Set containing a single provided element.

Instance methods

Method Description

Test if every Set element passes the given function test.

Get the first value in the Set.
