Create a document

Problem

You need to create a document in a collection within the current database.

Solution

Use the Create function:

result, err := client.Query(
	f.Create(
		f.Collection("dilapidated_huts"),
		f.Obj{"data": f.Obj{"material": "straw"}},
	))

if err != nil {
	fmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr, err)
} else {
	fmt.Println(result)
}
map[data:map[material:straw] ref:{300223005074653696 0xc000180570 0xc000180570 <nil>} ts:1622573819180000]
client.query(
  q.Create(
    q.Collection('dilapidated_huts'),
    { data: { material: 'straw' } }
  )
)
.then((ret) => console.log(ret))
.catch((err) => console.error(
  'Error: [%s] %s: %s',
  err.name,
  err.message,
  err.errors()[0].description,
))
{
  ref: Ref(Collection("dilapidated_huts"), "300223085354680832"),
  ts: 1622573895720000,
  data: { material: 'straw' }
}
result = client.query(
  q.create(
    q.collection("dilapidated_huts"),
    {"data": {"material": "straw"}}
  )
)
print(result)
{'ref': Ref(id=300223090590220800, collection=Ref(id=dilapidated_huts, collection=Ref(id=collections))), 'ts': 1622573900720000, 'data': {'material': 'straw'}}
Create(
  Collection('dilapidated_huts'),
  { data: { material: 'straw' } }
)
{
  ref: Ref(Collection("dilapidated_huts"), "302044124774662656"),
  ts: 1624310574250000,
  data: { material: 'straw' }
}
