toList
ReQL command: toList
Command syntax
cursor.toList()
Description
Retrieve all results from a cursor as a list.
RethinkDB cursors can be iterated through via the Java Iterable and Iterator interfaces; to coerce a cursor into a list, use toList
.
Example: For small result sets it may be more convenient to process them at once as a list.
Cursor cursor = r.table("users").run(conn); List users = cursor.toList(); processResults(users);
The equivalent query with a for
loop would be:
Cursor cursor = r.table("users").run(conn); for (Object doc : cursor) { processResults(doc); }
Note: Because a feed is a cursor that never terminates, using list
with a feed will never return. Use for or next instead. See the changes command for more information on feeds.
