+
+### mapping
+
+An object representing the collection data mapping.
+
+This object must have a root field `properties` that contain the mapping definition:
+
+```js
+const mapping = {
+  properties: {
+    field1: { type: 'text' },
+    field2: {
+      properties: {
+        nestedField: { type: 'keyword' }
+      }
+    }
+  }
+};
+```
+
+More informations about database mappings [here](/core/2/guides/essentials/database-mappings).
+
+## Resolves
+
+Resolve if the collection is successfully updated.
