                    ConcurrencyControl concurrencyControl)
             throws CouchbaseLiteException

Saves a document to the database. When used with LAST_WRITE_WINS concurrency control, the last write operation will win if there is a conflict. When used with FAIL_ON_CONFLICT concurrency control, save will fail with false value

Parameters:

document - The document.

concurrencyControl - The concurrency control.

Returns:

true if successful. false if the FAIL_ON_CONFLICT concurrency

Throws:

CouchbaseLiteException - on error

save

public boolean save(@NonNull
                    MutableDocument document,

Returns:

true if successful. false if the FAIL_ON_CONFLICT concurrency

Throws:

CouchbaseLiteException - on error

delete

public void delete(@NonNull
                   Document document)
            throws CouchbaseLiteException

Deletes a document from the database. When write operations are executed concurrently, the last writer will overwrite all other written values. Calling this function is the same as calling the delete(Document, ConcurrencyControl) function with LAST_WRITE_WINS concurrency control.

Parameters:

document - The document.

Throws:

CouchbaseLiteException - on error

delete

public boolean delete(@NonNull
                      Document document,
                      @NonNull
                      ConcurrencyControl concurrencyControl)
               throws CouchbaseLiteException

Deletes a document from the database. When used with lastWriteWins concurrency control, the last write operation will win if there is a conflict. When used with FAIL_ON_CONFLICT concurrency control, delete will fail with 'false' value returned.

Parameters:

document - The document.

concurrencyControl - The concurrency control.

Throws:

CouchbaseLiteException - on error

purge

public void purge(@NonNull
                  Document document)

Parameters:

document - the document to be purged.

Throws:

CouchbaseLiteException

purge

public void purge(@NonNull
                  String id)
           throws CouchbaseLiteException

Purges the given document id for the document in database. This is more drastic than delete(Document), it removes all traces of the document. The purge will NOT be replicated to other databases.

Parameters:

id - the document ID

Throws:

CouchbaseLiteException

setDocumentExpiration

public void setDocumentExpiration(@NonNull
                                  String id,

                           throws CouchbaseLiteException

Sets an expiration date on a document. After this time, the document will be purged from the database.

Parameters:
