Collection.insert() method

Insert a JSON document

Signature:

insert(jsonDoc: JsonDoc, options?: PutOptions): Promise<PutResultJsonDoc>;

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
jsonDoc	JsonDoc	JsonDoc whose _id is shortId. shortId is a file path whose collectionPath and extension are omitted.
options	PutOptions

Returns:

Promise<PutResultJsonDoc >

Remarks

• Throws SameIdExistsError when a document that has the same _id exists. It might be better to use put() instead of insert().
