Usage

countDocuments(connectionInfo, predicate = "", partitionKey = "",
  consistencyLevel = "", sessionToken = "", userAgent = "")

Arguments

connectionInfo

A DocumentDB connection info object generated with getDocumentDBConnectionInfo().

predicate

Optional. The predicate which has to be satisfied. Example: "c.machineId IN ('Machine 1', 'Machine 2')" counts all documents of machine 1 and 2. Default is "", ie. all documents in the collection are counted.

partitionKey

Optional. Can be used to limit the operation to a certain partition.

consistencyLevel

Optional. The consistency level override. The valid values are: Strong, Bounded, Session, or Eventual (in order of strongest to weakest). The override must be the same or weaker than the account's configured consistency level.

sessionToken

Optional. A string token used with session level consistency. For more information, see Using consistency levels in DocumentDB.

userAgent

Optional. A string that specifies the client user agent performing the request. The recommended format is user agent name/version. For example, the official DocumentDB .NET SDK sets the User-Agent string to Microsoft.Document.Client/1.0.0.0. A custom user-agent could be something like ContosoMarketingApp/1.0.0.

Value

The number of documents counted and some information extracted from the REST API response such as request charge and session token.
