VERSION

version 0.004

SYNOPSYS

use Arango::DB;

my $server = Arango::DB->new( host => '127.0.0.1',
                              username => 'root',
                              password => '123123123');

my $new_database = $server->create_database("mydb");
my $collection = $server->create_collection("mycollection");
$collection->create_document( { 'Hello' => 'World'} );

DISCLAIMER

The module is VERY incomplete. It is being written accordingly with my personal needs. While I tried ArangoDB2 it didn't work out of the box as I expected, and decided to write a simple strightforward solution.

Patches and suggestions are VERY welcome.

USAGE

The distribution is divided in different modules, namely:

Arango::DB

This is the main module and hopefully the unique one you need to import in your code. It performs basic operations with the server, and returns objects of different kinds when needed.

Arango::DB::Database

Represents a specific database. A simple object to keep track of the database you are working with, so you do not need to specify it everytime.

Arango::DB::Collection

Represents a collection from a specific database. Again, it just keeps track of the collection name and the database where it resided.

METHODS

new

my $db = Arango::DB->new( %options );

To start using the module you need a Arango::DB instance. Use the new method to create one. Supported options are:

host

Host name. Defaults to localhost.

port

ArangoDB Port. Defaults to 8529.

username

Username to be used to connect to ArangoDB. Defaults to root.

password

Password to be used to connect to ArangoDB. Default to the empty string.

version

my $version_info = $db->version;
my $detailed_info = $db->version( 'details' => 'true' );

Returns a hash reference with basic server info. Detailed information can be requested with the details option.

list_databases

my $databases = $db->list_databases;

Queries the server about available databases. Returns an array ref of database names.

create_database

my $new_db = $db->create_database("new_db");

Creates a new database, and returns a reference to a Arango::DB::Database representing it.

database

my $system_db = $db->database("_system");

Opens an existing database, and returns a reference to a Arango::DB::Database representing it.

delete_database

$db->delete_database("some_db");

Deletes an existing database.

list_collections

my $collections = $db->list_collections;

Lists collection details without specifying a specific database;

EXCEPTIONS

This module is written to die in any exception. Please use a try/catch module or eval, to detect them.
