Class BatchCursor<ItemType>
The BatchCursor provides a batch-wise API to an Cursor.
When using TypeScript, cursors can be cast to a specific item type in order +to increase type safety.
+Example
const db = new Database();
const query = aql`FOR x IN 1..5 RETURN x`;
const cursor = await db.query(query) as Cursor<number>;
const batches = cursor.batches;
+Example
const db = new Database();
const query = aql`FOR x IN 1..10000 RETURN x`;
const cursor = await db.query(query, { batchSize: 10 });
for await (const batch of cursor.batches) {
// Process all values in a batch in parallel
await Promise.all(batch.map(
value => asyncProcessValue(value)
));
}
+Type Parameters

has
- get hasNext(): boolean
Whether the cursor has more batches. If set to
+false, the cursor has +already been depleted and contains no more batches.Returns boolean

with
- with
Transaction<T>(collections, callback, options?): Promise<T> Begins and commits a transaction using the given callback. Individual +requests that are part of the transaction need to be wrapped in the step +function passed into the callback. If the promise returned by the callback +is rejected, the transaction will be aborted.
+Collections can be specified as collection names (strings) or objects +implementing the collections.ArangoCollection interface:
+Collection, +graphs.GraphVertexCollection, graphs.GraphEdgeCollection as +well as (in TypeScript) collections.DocumentCollection and +collections.EdgeCollection.Type Parameters
Parameters
- collections: TransactionCollectionOptions
Collections involved in the transaction.
+ - callback: ((step) => Promise<T>)
Callback function executing the transaction steps.
+- (step): Promise<T>
Parameters
- step: (<T>(callback) => Promise<T>)
- <T>(callback): Promise<T>
Executes the given function locally as a single step of the transaction.
+Type Parameters
Parameters
- callback: (() => Promise<T>)
Callback function returning a promise.
+Warning: The callback function should wrap a single call of an async +arangojs method (e.g. a method on a
+Collectionobject of a collection +that is involved in the transaction or thedb.querymethod). +If the callback function is async, only the first promise-returning (or +async) method call will be executed as part of the transaction. See the +examples below for how to avoid common mistakes when using this method.Note: Avoid defining the callback as an async function if possible +as arangojs will throw an error if the callback did not return a promise. +Async functions will return an empty promise by default, making it harder +to notice if you forgot to return something from the callback.
+Note: Although almost anything can be wrapped in a callback and passed +to this method, that does not guarantee ArangoDB can actually do it in a +transaction. Refer to the ArangoDB documentation if you are unsure whether +a given operation can be executed as part of a transaction. Generally any +modification or retrieval of data is eligible but modifications of +collections or databases are not.
+
Returns Promise<T>
Example
+const db = new Database();
const vertices = db.collection("vertices");
const edges = db.collection("edges");
const trx = await db.beginTransaction({ write: [vertices, edges] });
// The following code will be part of the transaction
const left = await trx.step(() => vertices.save({ label: "left" }));
const right = await trx.step(() => vertices.save({ label: "right" }));
// Results from preceding actions can be used normally
await trx.step(() => edges.save({
_from: left._id,
_to: right._id,
data: "potato"
}));
// Transaction must be committed for changes to take effected
// Always call either trx.commit or trx.abort to end a transaction
await trx.commit(); +Example
+// BAD! If the callback is an async function it must only use await once!
await trx.step(async () => {
await collection.save(data);
await collection.save(moreData); // WRONG
});
// BAD! Callback function must use only one arangojs call!
await trx.step(() => {
return collection.save(data)
.then(() => collection.save(moreData)); // WRONG
});
// BETTER: Wrap every arangojs method call that should be part of the
// transaction in a separate `trx.step` call
await trx.step(() => collection.save(data));
await trx.step(() => collection.save(moreData)); +Example
+// BAD! If the callback is an async function it must not await before
// calling an arangojs method!
await trx.step(async () => {
await doSomethingElse();
return collection.save(data); // WRONG
});

Parameters
- collections: (string | ArangoCollection)[]
Collections that can be read from and written to +during the transaction.
+ - callback: ((step) => Promise<T>)
Callback function executing the transaction steps.

- <T>(callback): Promise<T>
Executes the given function locally as a single step of the transaction.
+Type Parameters
Parameters
- callback: (() => Promise<T>)
Callback function returning a promise.
+Warning: The callback function should wrap a single call of an async +arangojs method (e.g. a method on a
+Collectionobject of a collection +that is involved in the transaction or thedb.querymethod). +If the callback function is async, only the first promise-returning (or +async) method call will be executed as part of the transaction. See the +examples below for how to avoid common mistakes when using this method.Note: Avoid defining the callback as an async function if possible +as arangojs will throw an error if the callback did not return a promise. +Async functions will return an empty promise by default, making it harder +to notice if you forgot to return something from the callback.
+Note: Although almost anything can be wrapped in a callback and passed +to this method, that does not guarantee ArangoDB can actually do it in a +transaction. Refer to the ArangoDB documentation if you are unsure whether +a given operation can be executed as part of a transaction. Generally any +modification or retrieval of data is eligible but modifications of +collections or databases are not.

// the transaction exists +
step
- step<T>(callback): Promise<T>
Executes the given function locally as a single step of the transaction.
+Type Parameters
Parameters
- callback: (() => Promise<T>)
Callback function returning a promise.
+Warning: The callback function should wrap a single call of an async +arangojs method (e.g. a method on a
+Collectionobject of a collection +that is involved in the transaction or thedb.querymethod). +If the callback function is async, only the first promise-returning (or +async) method call will be executed as part of the transaction. See the +examples below for how to avoid common mistakes when using this method.Note: Avoid defining the callback as an async function if possible +as arangojs will throw an error if the callback did not return a promise. +Async functions will return an empty promise by default, making it harder +to notice if you forgot to return something from the callback.
+Note: Although almost anything can be wrapped in a callback and passed +to this method, that does not guarantee ArangoDB can actually do it in a +transaction. Refer to the ArangoDB documentation if you are unsure whether +a given operation can be executed as part of a transaction. Generally any +modification or retrieval of data is eligible but modifications of +collections or databases are not.
+
Returns Promise<T>
Example
+const db = new Database();
const vertices = db.collection("vertices");
const edges = db.collection("edges");
const trx = await db.beginTransaction({ write: [vertices, edges] });
// The following code will be part of the transaction
const left = await trx.step(() => vertices.save({ label: "left" }));
const right = await trx.step(() => vertices.save({ label: "right" }));
// Results from preceding actions can be used normally
await trx.step(() => edges.save({
_from: left._id,
_to: right._id,
data: "potato"
}));
// Transaction must be committed for changes to take effected
// Always call either trx.commit or trx.abort to end a transaction
await trx.commit(); +Example
+// BAD! If the callback is an async function it must only use await once!
await trx.step(async () => {
await collection.save(data);
await collection.save(moreData); // WRONG
});
// BAD! Callback function must use only one arangojs call!
await trx.step(() => {
return collection.save(data)
.then(() => collection.save(moreData)); // WRONG
});
// BETTER: Wrap every arangojs method call that should be part of the
// transaction in a separate `trx.step` call
await trx.step(() => collection.save(data));
await trx.step(() => collection.save(moreData)); +Example
+// BAD! If the callback is an async function it must not await before
// calling an arangojs method!
await trx.step(async () => {
await doSomethingElse();
return collection.save(data); // WRONG
});
// BAD! Any arangojs inside the callback must not happen inside a promise
// method!
await trx.step(() => {
return doSomethingElse()
.then(() => collection.save(data)); // WRONG
});
// BETTER: Perform any async logic needed outside the `trx.step` call
await doSomethingElse();
await trx.step(() => collection.save(data));
// OKAY: You can perform async logic in the callback after the arangojs
// method call as long as it does not involve additional arangojs method
// calls, but this makes it easy to make mistakes later
await trx.step(async () => {
await collection.save(data);
await doSomethingDifferent(); // no arangojs method calls allowed
}); +Example
+// BAD! The callback should not use any functions that themselves use any
// arangojs methods!
async function saveSomeData() {
await collection.save(data);
await collection.save(moreData);
}
await trx.step(() => saveSomeData()); // WRONG
// BETTER: Pass the transaction to functions that need to call arangojs
// methods inside a transaction
async function saveSomeData(trx) {
await trx.step(() => collection.save(data));
await trx.step(() => collection.save(moreData));
}
await saveSomeData(); // no `trx.step` call needed +Example
+// BAD! You must wait for the promise to resolve (or await on the
// `trx.step` call) before calling `trx.step` again!
trx.step(() => collection.save(data)); // WRONG
await trx.step(() => collection.save(moreData));
// BAD! The trx.step callback can not make multiple calls to async arangojs
// methods, not even using Promise.all!
await trx.step(() => Promise.all([ // WRONG
collection.save(data),
collection.save(moreData),
]));
// BAD! Multiple `trx.step` calls can not run in parallel!
await Promise.all([ // WRONG
trx.step(() => collection.save(data)),
trx.step(() => collection.save(moreData)),
]));
// BETTER: Always call `trx.step` sequentially, one after the other
await trx.step(() => collection.save(data));
await trx.step(() => collection.save(moreData));
// OKAY: The then callback can be used if async/await is not available
trx.step(() => collection.save(data))
.then(() => trx.step(() => collection.save(moreData))); +Example
+// BAD! The callback will return an empty promise that resolves before
// the inner arangojs method call has even talked to ArangoDB!
await trx.step(async () => {
collection.save(data); // WRONG
});
// BETTER: Use an arrow function so you don't forget to return
await trx.step(() => collection.save(data));
// OKAY: Remember to always return when using a function body
await trx.step(() => {
return collection.save(data); // easy to forget!
});
// OKAY: You do not have to use arrow functions but it helps
await trx.step(function () {
return collection.save(data);
}); +Example
+// BAD! You can not pass promises instead of a callback!
await trx.step(collection.save(data)); // WRONG
// BETTER: Wrap the code in a function and pass the function instead
await trx.step(() => collection.save(data)); +Example
+// WORSE: Calls to non-async arangojs methods don't need to be performed
// as part of a transaction
const collection = await trx.step(() => db.collection("my-documents"));
// BETTER: If an arangojs method is not async and doesn't return promises,
// call it without `trx.step`
const collection = db.collection("my-documents"); +- callback: (() => Promise<T>)

Function aql
- aql<T>(templateStrings, ...args): AqlQuery<T>
Template string handler (template tag) for AQL queries.
+The
+aqltag can be used to write complex AQL queries as multi-line strings +without having to worry aboutbindVarsand the distinction between +collections and regular parameters.Tagged template strings will return an AqlQuery object with +
+queryandbindVarsattributes reflecting any interpolated values.Any collections.ArangoCollection instance used in a query string will +be recognized as a collection reference and generate an AQL collection bind +parameter instead of a regular AQL value bind parameter.
+Note: you should always use the
+aqltemplate tag when writing +dynamic AQL queries instead of using untagged (normal) template strings. +Untagged template strings will inline any interpolated values and return +a plain string as result. Theaqltemplate tag will only inline references +to the interpolated values and produce an AQL query object containing both +the query and the values. This prevents most injection attacks when using +untrusted values in dynamic queries.Type Parameters
Parameters
- templateStrings: TemplateStringsArray
Rest...args: AqlValue[]
Returns AqlQuery<T>
Example
+// Some user-supplied string that may be malicious
const untrustedValue = req.body.email;
// Without aql tag: BAD! DO NOT DO THIS!
const badQuery = `
FOR user IN users
FILTER user.email == "${untrustedValue}"
RETURN user
`;
// e.g. if untrustedValue is '" || user.admin == true || "':
// Query:
// FOR user IN users
// FILTER user.email == "" || user.admin == true || ""
// RETURN user
// With the aql tag: GOOD! MUCH SAFER!
const betterQuery = aql`
FOR user IN users
FILTER user.email == ${untrustedValue}
RETURN user
`;
// Query:
// FOR user IN users
// FILTER user.email == @value0
// RETURN user
// Bind parameters:
// value0 -> untrustedValue +Example
+const collection = db.collection("some-collection");
const minValue = 23;
const result = await db.query(aql`
FOR d IN ${collection}
FILTER d.num > ${minValue}
RETURN d
`);
// Equivalent raw query object
const result2 = await db.query({
query: `
FOR d IN @@collection
FILTER d.num > @minValue
RETURN d
`,

+Parameters
- literal: any
A value that might be an
+AqlLiteral.
Returns literal is AqlLiteral
- literal: any
Function join
- join(values, sep?): AqlQuery
Constructs AqlQuery objects from an array of arbitrary values.
+Note: Nesting
+aqltemplate strings is a much safer alternative +for most use cases. This low-level helper function only exists to +complement theaqltag when constructing complex queries from dynamic +arrays of query fragments.Parameters
- values: AqlValue[]
Array of values to join. These values will behave exactly +like values interpolated in an
+aqltemplate string. - sep: string = " "
Seperator to insert between values. This value will behave +exactly like a value passed to literal, i.e. it will be +inlined as-is, rather than being converted into a bind parameter.
+
Returns AqlQuery
Example
+const users = db.collection("users");
const filters = [];
if (adminsOnly) filters.push(aql`FILTER user.admin`);
if (activeOnly) filters.push(aql`FILTER user.active`);
const result = await db.query(aql`
FOR user IN ${users}
${join(filters)}
RETURN user
`); +Example
+const users = db.collection("users");
const keys = ["jreyes", "ghermann"];
// BAD! NEEDLESSLY COMPLEX!
const docs = keys.map(key => aql`DOCUMENT(${users}, ${key}`));
const result = await db.query(aql`
FOR user IN [
${join(docs, ", ")}
]
RETURN user
`);
// Query:
// FOR user IN [
// DOCUMENT(@@value0, @value1), DOCUMENT(@@value0, @value2)
// ]
// RETURN user
// Bind parameters:
// @value0 -> "users"
// value1 -> "jreyes"
// value2 -> "ghermann"
// GOOD! MUCH SIMPLER!
const result = await db.query(aql`
FOR key IN ${keys}
LET user = DOCUMENT(${users}, key)
RETURN user
`);
// Query:
// FOR user IN @value0
// LET user = DOCUMENT(@@value1, key)
// RETURN user
// Bind parameters:
// value0 -> ["jreyes", "ghermann"]
// @value1 -> "users" +- values: AqlValue[]
Function literal
- literal(value): AqlLiteral
Marks an arbitrary scalar value (i.e. a string, number or boolean) as +safe for being inlined directly into AQL queries when used in an
+aql+template string, rather than being converted into a bind parameter.Note: Nesting
+aqltemplate strings is a much safer alternative for +most use cases. This low-level helper function only exists to help with +rare edge cases where a trusted AQL query fragment must be read from a +string (e.g. when reading query fragments from JSON) and should only be +used as a last resort.Parameters
- value: undefined | null | string | number | boolean | AqlLiteral
Returns AqlLiteral
Example
+// BAD! DO NOT DO THIS!
const sortDirection = literal('ASC');
// GOOD! DO THIS INSTEAD!
const sortDirection = aql`ASC`; +Example
+// BAD! DO NOT DO THIS!
const filterColor = literal('FILTER d.color == "green"');
const result = await db.query(aql`
FOR d IN some-collection
${filterColor}
RETURN d
`);
// GOOD! DO THIS INSTEAD!
const color = "green";
const filterColor = aql`FILTER d.color === ${color}`;
const result = await db.query(aql`
FOR d IN some-collection
${filterColor}
RETURN d
`); +Example
+// WARNING: We explicitly trust the environment variable to be safe!
const filter = literal(process.env.FILTER_STATEMENT);
const users = await db.query(aql`
FOR user IN users
${filter}
RETURN user
`); +

Install
With npm or yarn
npm install --save arangojs
## - or -
yarn add arangojs
+For browsers
When using modern JavaScript tooling with a bundler and compiler (e.g. Babel),
+arangojs can be installed using npm or yarn like any other dependency.
You can also use jsDelivr CDN during development:
+<script type="importmap">
{
"imports": {
"arangojs": "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/arangojs@9.0.0/esm/index.js?+esm"
}
}
</script>
<script type="module">
import { Database } from "arangojs";
const db = new Database();
// ...
</script>
+Basic usage example
Modern JavaScript/TypeScript with async/await and ES Modules:
+import { Database, aql } from "arangojs";
const db = new Database();
const Pokemons = db.collection("my-pokemons");
async function main() {
try {
const pokemons = await db.query(aql`
FOR pokemon IN ${Pokemons}
FILTER pokemon.type == "fire"
RETURN pokemon
`);
console.log("My pokemans, let me show you them:");
for await (const pokemon of pokemons) {
console.log(pokemon.name);
}
} catch (err) {
console.error(err.message);
}
}
main();
+Using a different database:
+const db = new Database({
url: "http://127.0.0.1:8529",
databaseName: "pancakes",
auth: { username: "root", password: "hunter2" },
});
// The credentials can be swapped at any time
db.useBasicAuth("admin", "maplesyrup");
+Old-school JavaScript with promises and CommonJS:
+var arangojs = require("arangojs");
var Database = arangojs.Database;
var db = new Database();
var pokemons = db.collection("pokemons");
db.query({
query: "FOR p IN @@c FILTER p.type == 'fire' RETURN p",
bindVars: { "@c": "pokemons" },
})
.then(function (cursor) {
console.log("My pokemons, let me show you them:");
return cursor.forEach(function (pokemon) {
console.log(pokemon.name);
});
})
.catch(function (err) {
console.error(err.message);
});
+Note: The examples throughout this documentation use async/await
+and other modern language features like multi-line strings and template tags.
+When developing for an environment without support for these language features,
+substitute promises for await syntax as in the above example.
Compatibility
The arangojs driver is compatible with the latest stable version of ArangoDB +available at the time of the driver release and remains compatible with the +two most recent Node.js LTS versions in accordance with the official +Node.js long-term support schedule. Versions +of ArangoDB that have reached their end of life +by the time of a driver release are explicitly not supported.
+For a list of changes between recent versions of the driver, see the +CHANGELOG.
+Note: arangojs is only intended to be used in Node.js or a browser to access
+ArangoDB from outside the database. If you are looking for the ArangoDB
+JavaScript API for Foxx or for accessing ArangoDB
+from within the arangosh interactive shell, please refer to the documentation
+of the @arangodb module
+and the db object instead.
Error responses
If the server returns an ArangoDB error response, arangojs will throw an
+ArangoError with an errorNum property indicating the ArangoDB error code
+and expose the response body as the response property of the error object.
For all other errors during the request/response cycle, arangojs will throw a
+NetworkError or a more specific subclass thereof and expose the originating
+request object as the request property of the error object.
If the server responded with a non-2xx status code, this NetworkError will
+be an HttpError with a code property indicating the HTTP status code of the
+response and a response property containing the response object itself.
If the error is caused by an exception, the originating exception will be
+available as the cause property of the error object thrown by arangojs. For
+network errors, this will often be a TypeError.
Node.js network errors
In Node.js, network errors caused by a TypeError will often have a cause
+property containing a more detailed exception.
Specifically, these are often either system errors (represented by regular
+Error objects with additional properties) or errors from the undici module
+Node.js uses internally for its native fetch implementation.
Node.js system error objects provide a code property containing the specific
+string error code, a syscall property identifying the underlying system call
+that triggered the error (e.g. connect), as well as other helpful properties.
For more details on Node.js system errors, see the Node.js documentation of the
+SystemError interface
+as well as the section on
+Node.js error codes.
For more details on the errors thrown by undici, see the
+undici errors documentation.
Common issues
Unexpected server errors
Please make sure you are using the latest version of this driver and that the +version of the arangojs documentation you are reading matches that version.
+Changes in the major version number of arangojs (e.g. 8.x.y -> 9.0.0) indicate +backwards-incompatible changes in the arangojs API that may require changes in +your code when upgrading your version of arangojs.
+Additionally please ensure that your version of Node.js (or browser) and +ArangoDB are supported by the version of arangojs you are trying to use. See +the compatibility section for additional information.
+You can install an older version of arangojs using npm or yarn:
# for version 8.x.x
yarn add arangojs@8
# - or -
npm install --save arangojs@8
+No code intelligence when using require instead of import
If you are using require to import the arangojs module in JavaScript, the
+default export might not be recognized as a function by the code intelligence
+of common editors like Visual Studio Code, breaking auto-complete and other
+useful features.
As a workaround, use the arangojs function exported by that module instead
+of calling the module itself:
const arangojs = require("arangojs");
- const db = arangojs({
+ const db = arangojs.arangojs({
url: ARANGODB_SERVER,
});
+Alternatively you can use the Database class directly:
const arangojs = require("arangojs");
+ const Database = arangojs.Database;
- const db = arangojs({
+ const db = new Database({
url: ARANGODB_SERVER,
});
+Or using object destructuring:
+- const arangojs = require("arangojs");
+ const { Database } = require("arangojs");
- const db = arangojs({
+ const db = new Database({
url: ARANGODB_SERVER,
});
+Error stack traces contain no useful information
Due to the async, queue-based behavior of arangojs, the stack traces generated +when an error occur rarely provide enough information to determine the location +in your own code where the request was initiated.
+Using the precaptureStackTraces configuration option, arangojs will attempt
+to always generate stack traces proactively when a request is performed,
+allowing arangojs to provide more meaningful stack traces at the cost of an
+impact to performance even when no error occurs.
import { Database } from "arangojs";
const db = new Database({
url: ARANGODB_SERVER,
+ precaptureStackTraces: true,
});
+Note that arangojs will attempt to use Error.captureStackTrace if available
+and fall back to generating a stack trace by throwing an error. In environments
+that do not support the stack property on error objects, this option will
+still impact performance but not result in any additional information becoming
+available.
Unix domain sockets
If you want to use Unix domain sockets, you need to install the undici module,
+which is an optional dependency of arangojs.
npm install --save undici
+If the undici module is not installed and arangojs attempts to make a request
+over a Unix domain socket, the request will fail with a plain Error with a
+message indicating that the undici module is unavailable.
Node.js with self-signed HTTPS certificates
If you need to support self-signed HTTPS certificates in Node.js, you will need
+to install the undici module, which is an optional dependency of arangojs.
npm install --save undici
+You can instruct arangojs to use the undici module by setting the
+config.agentOptions option:
import { Database } from "arangojs";
const db = new Database({
url: ARANGODB_SERVER,
+ agentOptions: {
+ ca: [
+ fs.readFileSync(".ssl/sub.class1.server.ca.pem"),
+ fs.readFileSync(".ssl/ca.pem"),
+ ],
+ },
});
+To override the global fetch agent instead, you can use the undici module's
+setGlobalDispatcher method as follows:
import { Agent, setGlobalDispatcher } from "undici";
setGlobalDispatcher(
new Agent({
ca: [
fs.readFileSync(".ssl/sub.class1.server.ca.pem"),
fs.readFileSync(".ssl/ca.pem"),
],
})
);
+Although this is strongly discouraged, it's also possible to disable +HTTPS certificate validation entirely this way, but note this has +extremely dangerous security implications:
+ import { Database } from "arangojs";
const db = new Database({
url: ARANGODB_SERVER,
+ agentOptions: {
+ rejectUnauthorized: false,
+ },
});
+The requirement to use the undici module to override these settings is a
+known limitation
+of Node.js at the time of this writing.
When using arangojs in the browser, self-signed HTTPS certificates need to +be trusted by the browser or use a trusted root certificate.
+Streaming transactions leak
When using the transaction.step method it is important to be aware of the
+limitations of what a callback passed to this method is allowed to do.
const collection = db.collection(collectionName);
const trx = db.transaction(transactionId);
// WARNING: This code will not work as intended!
await trx.step(async () => {
await collection.save(doc1);
await collection.save(doc2); // Not part of the transaction!
});
// INSTEAD: Always perform a single operation per step:
await trx.step(() => collection.save(doc1));
await trx.step(() => collection.save(doc2));
+Please refer to the documentation of the transaction.step method
+for additional examples.
Streaming transactions timeout in cluster
Example messages: transaction not found, transaction already expired.
Transactions have +different guarantees +in a cluster.
+When using arangojs in a cluster with load balancing, you may need to adjust
+the value of config.poolSize to accommodate the number of transactions
+you need to be able to run in parallel. The default value is likely to be too
+low for most cluster scenarios involving frequent streaming transactions.
Note: When using a high value for config.poolSize you may have
+to adjust the maximum number of threads in the ArangoDB configuration using
+the server.maximal-threads option
+to support larger numbers of concurrent transactions on the server side.
