Drop YAML Method
The drop
method is a powerful operation that allows you to remove an entire data set from your verse.db database. It's particularly useful when you want to delete all records associated with a specific data file. Here's how you can use it:
Syntax
const dataname = "users"; // Replace with the desired data name
const dropResult = await db.drop(dataname);
Parameters
dataname
: The filename (without the.yaml
extension) of the YAML file you want to drop. This name is also used when performing other operations like.add
,.update
,.remove
, and.find
on the corresponding data set.
Results
The drop
method returns an object with the following properties:
acknowledged
: A boolean indicating whether the operation was successful (true
) or not (false
).message
: A descriptive message indicating the outcome of the operation (e.g.,"All data dropped successfully."
).results
: An empty string (since no specific results are returned for thedrop
operation).
{
"acknowledged": true,
"message": `All data dropped successfully.`,
};
Description
-
Arrange:
- We start by defining a variable named
dataname
and assign it the value"users"
. This represents the name of the data set (YAML file) we want to drop. - Next, we call the
db.drop(dataname)
method to remove the entire data associated with the specifieddataname
.
- We start by defining a variable named

: A descriptive message indicating the outcome of the operation (e.g.,"All data dropped successfully."
).results
: An empty string (since no specific results are returned for thedrop
operation).

Outcome
The drop
