Interface ChangeStreamOptions

Options that can be passed to a ChangeStream. Note that startAfter, resumeAfter, and startAtOperationTime are all mutually exclusive, and the server will error if more than one is specified.

Hierarchy

Properties

allowDiskUse?: boolean

allowDiskUse lets the server know if it can use disk to store temporary results for the aggregation (requires mongodb 2.6 >).

authdb?: string
batchSize?: number

The number of documents to return per batch.

bsonRegExp?: boolean

return BSON regular expressions as BSONRegExp instances.

Default Value

false

bypassDocumentValidation?: boolean

Allow driver to bypass schema validation in MongoDB 3.2 or higher.

checkKeys?: boolean

the serializer will check if keys are valid.

Default Value

false

collation?: CollationOptions

Specify collation.

comment?: unknown

Comment to apply to the operation.

In server versions pre-4.4, 'comment' must be string. A server error will be thrown if any other type is provided.

In server versions 4.4 and above, 'comment' can be any valid BSON type.

Return the query as cursor, on 2.6 > it returns as a real cursor on pre 2.6 it returns as an emulated cursor.

dbName?: string
enableUtf8Validation?: boolean

Enable utf8 validation when deserializing BSON documents. Defaults to true.

Specifies the verbosity mode for the explain output.

fieldsAsRaw?: mongoose.mongo.BSON.Document

allow to specify if there what fields we wish to return as unserialized raw buffer.

Default Value

null

fullDocument?: string

Allowed values: 'updateLookup', 'whenAvailable', 'required'.

When set to 'updateLookup', the change notification for partial updates will include both a delta describing the changes to the document as well as a copy of the entire document that was changed from some time after the change occurred.

When set to 'whenAvailable', configures the change stream to return the post-image of the modified document for replace and update change events if the post-image for this event is available.

When set to 'required', the same behavior as 'whenAvailable' except that an error is raised if the post-image is not available.

fullDocumentBeforeChange?: string

Allowed values: 'whenAvailable', 'required', 'off'.

The default is to not send a value, which is equivalent to 'off'.

When set to 'whenAvailable', configures the change stream to return the pre-image of the modified document for replace, update, and delete change events if it is available.

When set to 'required', the same behavior as 'whenAvailable' except that an error is raised if the pre-image is not available.

hint?: Hint

Add an index selection hint to an aggregation command

ignoreUndefined?: boolean

serialize will not emit undefined fields note that the driver sets this to false

Default Value

true

Map of parameter names and values that can be accessed using $$var (requires MongoDB 5.0).

maxAwaitTimeMS?: number

The maximum amount of time for the server to wait on new documents to satisfy a change stream query.

maxTimeMS?: number

specifies a cumulative time limit in milliseconds for processing operations on the cursor. MongoDB interrupts the operation at the earliest following interrupt point.

noResponse?: boolean
omitReadPreference?: boolean
out?: string
promoteBuffers?: boolean

when deserializing a Binary will return it as a node.js Buffer instance.

Default Value

false

promoteLongs?: boolean

when deserializing a Long will fit it into a Number if it's smaller than 53 bits.

Default Value

true

promoteValues?: boolean

when deserializing will promote BSON values to their Node.js closest equivalent types.

Default Value

true

raw?: boolean

Enabling the raw option will return a Node.js Buffer which is allocated using allocUnsafe API. See this section from the Node.js Docs here for more detail about what "unsafe" refers to in this context. If you need to maintain your own editable clone of the bytes returned for an extended life time of the process, it is recommended you allocate your own buffer and clone the contents:

Example

const raw = await collection.findOne({}, { raw: true });
const myBuffer = Buffer.alloc(raw.byteLength);
myBuffer.set(raw, 0);
// Only save and use `myBuffer` beyond this point

Remarks

Please note there is a known limitation where this option cannot be used at the MongoClient level (see NODE-3946). It does correctly work at Db, Collection, and per operation the same as other BSON options work.

readConcern?: ReadConcernLike

Specify a read concern and level for the collection. (only MongoDB 3.2 or higher supported)

readPreference?: ReadPreferenceLike

The preferred read preference (ReadPreference.primary, ReadPreference.primary_preferred, ReadPreference.secondary, ReadPreference.secondary_preferred, ReadPreference.nearest).

resumeAfter?: unknown

Allows you to start a changeStream after a specified event.

retryWrites?: boolean

Should retry failed writes

serializeFunctions?: boolean

serialize the javascript functions

Default Value

false

Specify ClientSession for this command

showExpandedEvents?: boolean

When enabled, configures the change stream to include extra change events.

  • createIndexes
  • dropIndexes
  • modify
  • create
  • shardCollection
  • reshardCollection
  • refineCollectionShardKey
startAfter?: unknown

Similar to resumeAfter, but will allow you to start after an invalidated event.

startAtOperationTime?: Timestamp

Will start the changeStream after the specified operationTime.

useBigInt64?: boolean

when deserializing a Long return as a BigInt.

Default Value

false

willRetryWrite?: boolean
