    Return Value

    A Pipeline with the specified collection as its source.

  • Specifies a collection as the data source for the pipeline.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public func collection(_ coll: CollectionReference) -> Pipeline

    Parameters

    Declaration

    Swift

    public func create(from query: Query) -> Pipeline

    Parameters

    query

    The Query to convert into a pipeline.

    Return Value

    A Pipeline that is equivalent to the given query.
