Delete

Python

JavaScript

CapyDB provides a straightforward way to delete documents from a collection using operations similar to MongoDB's delete functionality. You can delete one or multiple documents that match a specified filter.

Delete Operation

The delete operation allows you to remove documents from a collection that match a specified filter. This operation is permanent and cannot be undone.

Example Python Code for delete

Here's how you can delete documents using Python:

# Filter to match the document(s) to delete
filter_criteria = {
    "name": "Alice Smith"
}

# Sending the request
response = collection.delete(filter_criteria)

Delete Response

A successful delete operation will return a JSON response containing information about the number of documents deleted. Here's an example response:

{
  "deleted_count": 1
}
