getCollection return value about lokijs HOT 6 CLOSED

Have you found the documentation at https://rawgit.com/techfort/LokiJS/master/jsdoc/index.html ?

Thanks Assaf, this is corrected in 1.1, a warning is thrown and the function returns null: https://github.com/techfort/LokiJS/blob/v1.1.0/src/lokijs.js#L1789

If this is a good enough solution feel free to close the issue, I'll leave it up to you.

Hey @techfort , I am new to LokiJS, and finding it a bit difficult to know few things which already exists but I cannot find the documentation for them.

For example : I am not able to find the documentation for getCollection(), in fact, I don't know that getCollection() exists in LokiJS, I recently started migration from IBM Worklight's JSON Store to LokiJS.

Can you suggest me on how can I broadly understand what is in LokiJS? I got familiar with basic stuff like creation of db/collection, find, clear, get etc.., But at a deeper level I don't understand how few things work, like saveDb(), getCollection, onLoad.

Please help :)

Hello @assafweinberg I didn't know about this, i was going through the documentation provided in lokijs.org and in github - techfort.
This link provided by you seems to be very helpful, thanks a ton!!
I ll go through this. :) 👍

I think a more efficient way of checking the collection according to this method would be

const col = db.getCollection('test') || db.addCollection('test')

Unless there is a more recent way of doing it. Does anyone know any?
