<code>Function</code>

Description

The Function function returns a Reference for the specified function name in the specified child database. If a child database is not specified, the returned function reference belongs to the current database.

When a child database is specified, an admin key must be used to call Function (server or client keys, or ABAC tokens, cannot be used to access a child database).

Also, Go does not support optional function parameters, nor function overloading. To specify a child database using the Go driver, call the ScopedFunction function instead of Function.

Parameters

`database`	Reference	Optional - A Reference to a child database. If not specified, the current database is used. A Reference to a child database. Optional - A Reference to a child database. If not specified, the current database is used. Optional - A Reference to a child database. If not specified, the current database is used. Optional - A Reference to a child database. If not specified, the current database is used. Optional - A Reference to a child database. If not specified, the current database is used. Optional - A Reference to a child database. If not specified, the current database is used.

name

String

The name of a function.

database

Reference

Optional - A Reference to a child database. If not specified, the current database is used.

A Reference to a child database.

Optional - A Reference to a child database. If not specified, the current database is used.

Returns

A reference to a function with the specified name, in the specified child database (or the current database if database is not specified).

Examples

The following query gets a reference to the function named increment in the current database:

result, err := client.Query(
	f.Function("increment"))

if err != nil {
	fmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr, err)
} else {
	fmt.Println(result)
}

{increment 0xc00014c090 0xc00014c090 <nil>}

client.query(
  q.Function('increment')
)
.then((ret) => console.log(ret))
.catch((err) => console.error(
  'Error: [%s] %s: %s',
  err.name,
  err.message,
  err.errors()[0].description,
))

Function("increment")

result = client.query(
  q.function("increment")
)
print(result)

Ref(id=increment, collection=Ref(id=functions))

Function('increment')

The following query gets a Reference to the function named increment in a child database named "child_db":

result, err := client.Query(
	f.ScopedFunction("increment", f.Database("child_db")))

if err != nil {
	fmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr, err)
} else {
	fmt.Println(result)
}

{increment 0xc000184180 0xc000184180 0xc0001841e0}

client.query(
  q.Function('increment', q.Database('child_db'))
)
.then((ret) => console.log(ret))
.catch((err) => console.error(
  'Error: [%s] %s: %s',
  err.name,
  err.message,
  err.errors()[0].description,
))

Function("increment", Database("child_db"))

result = client.query(
  q.function("increment", q.database("child_db"))
)
print(result)

Ref(id=increment, collection=Ref(id=functions), database=Ref(id=child_db, collection=Ref(id=databases)))

Function('increment', Database('child_db'))

Function("increment", Database("child_db"))

The following query demonstrates how to retrieve the function document by its reference:

result, err := client.Query(
	f.Get(f.Function("increment")))

if err != nil {
	fmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr, err)
} else {
	fmt.Println(result)
}

client.query(
  q.Get(q.Function('increment'))
)
.then((ret) => console.log(ret))
.catch((err) => console.error(
  'Error: [%s] %s: %s',
  err.name,

))

result = client.query(
  q.get(q.function("increment"))
)
print(result)
