Definition

collection.deleteOne()

Remove a single document from the collection based on a query filter.

Usage

Example

• Functions
• JavaScript SDK
• Android SDK
• iOS SDK

To call the collection.deleteOne() action from a Function, get a collection handle with database.collection() then call the handle’s deleteOne() method.

copy

const query = { "name": "legos" };

itemsCollection.deleteOne(query)
  .then(result => console.log(`Deleted ${result.deletedCount} item.`))
  .catch(err => console.error(`Delete failed with error: ${err}`))

To call the collection.deleteOne() action from a JavaScript SDK, use the RemoteMongoCollection.deleteOne() method.

copy

const query = { "name": "legos" };

itemsCollection.deleteOne(query)
  .then(result => console.log(`Deleted ${result.deletedCount} item.`))
  .catch(err => console.error(`Delete failed with error: ${err}`))

To call the collection.deleteOne() action from the Java/Android SDK, use the RemoteMongoCollection.deleteOne() method.

copy

Document filterDoc = new Document().append("name", "legos");

final Task<RemoteDeleteResult> deleteTask = itemsCollection.deleteOne(filterDoc);
deleteTask.addOnCompleteListener(new OnCompleteListener <RemoteDeleteResult> () {
    @Override
    public void onComplete(@NonNull Task <RemoteDeleteResult> task) {
        if (task.isSuccessful()) {
            long numDeleted = task.getResult().getDeletedCount();
            Log.d("app", String.format("successfully deleted %d documents", numDeleted));
        } else {
            Log.e("app", "failed to delete document with: ", task.getException());
        }
    }
});

To call the collection.deleteOne() action from the Swift/iOS SDK, use the RemoteMongoCollection.deleteOne() method.

copy

let query : Document = ["name": "legos"];

itemsCollection?.deleteOne(query) { result in
    switch result {
    case .success(let result):
        print("Deleted \(result.deletedCount) item.");
    case .failure(let error):
        print("Delete failed with error: \(error)");
    }
}
