list
ReQL command: list
Command syntax
list(cursor)
Description
Retrieve all results as a list.
RethinkDB sequences can be iterated through via the Python Iterable interface; to coerce a cursor into a list, use the Python list() class constructor.
Example: For small result sets it may be more convenient to process them at once as an array.
cursor = r.table('users').run() users = list(cursor) process_results(users)
The equivalent query with a for
loop would be:
cursor = r.table('users').run() for doc in cursor: process_results(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.
