question: proper way to read whole collection's data #871

Closed work67 closed 2 years ago

work67 commented 3 years ago

Hi, which is better:

  1. var array_of_all_items = collection.data

or

  1. var array_of_all_items = collection.find()

?

I need to know the proper way to load ALL items from a collection into a variable. The lokijs docs explain how to query a collection, but what is the best query for "getAll" ?

If the data is equivalent, then wouldn't the first case to directly access the data be more computationally efficient then calling a method to get the same data?
