MongoCursor

Methods

next() - Returns the next single result set (as a table) in the results of a query operation.

result = cursor:next()

---

results() - Similar to the next method but returns an iterator function (as opposed to a table) that can be used in a for loop.

iterator = cursor:results()

---

has_more(in_current_batch)

has_more = cursor:has_more([bool])

• in_current_batch: pass true to call moreInCurrentBatch (mongo >=1.5)

---

itcount()

it_count = cursor:itcount()

---

is_dead()

is_dead = cursor:is_dead()

---

is_tailable()

is_tailable = cursor:is_tailable()

---

has_result_flag()

has_result_flag = cursor:has_result_flag()

---

get_id()

id = cursor:get_id()

---

Example

local mongo = require('mongo')
-- query all the values in the namespace 'test.values' where a > 10
local q1 = assert(db:query('test.values', {a = {['$gt'] = 10}}))

-- loop through the result set
for result in q1:results() do
    print(result.a)
    print(result.b)
end

-- query all the values in the namespace 'test.values' where a < 10 (JSON version)
local q2 = assert(db:query('test.values', "{'a': {'$lt': 10}}"))

local result = q2:next()
while result do
    print(result.a)
    print(result.b)
    result = q2:next()
end
