FQL v4 will be decommissioned on June 30, 2025. Ensure that you complete your migration from FQL v4 to FQL v10 by that date.

For more details, review the migration guide. Contact support@fauna.com with any questions.

Functions

This reference topic applies to FQL v4. Go to this page for the latest FQL v10 reference topics.

 
Functions( [database] )
functions( [database] )
Functions( )
ScopedFunctions( database )
Functions( [database] )
Functions( [database] )

Description

The Functions function when executed with Paginate returns an array of References for all user-defined functions in the database specified. If a child database is not specified, the returned function references all belong to the current database.

When a child database is specified, an admin key must be used to call Functions (server or client keys, or ABAC tokens, cannot be used to access a child database).

Also, Go does not support optional function parameters, nor function overloading. To specify a child database using the Go driver, call the ScopedFunctions function instead of Functions.

Parameters

Parameter Type Definition and Requirements

database

Reference

Optional - A Reference to a child database. If not specified, the current database is used.

A Reference to a child database.

Optional - A Reference to a child database. If not specified, the current database is used.

Returns

A Set Reference for the available user-defined functions in the specified child database (or the current database if database is not specified).

Examples

  1. The following query lists the References for any user-defined functions (up to the pagination limit) in the current database:

    client.query(
  q.Paginate(q.Functions())
)
.then((ret) => console.log(ret))
.catch((err) => console.error(
  'Error: [%s] %s: %s',
  err.name,
  err.message,
  err.errors()[0].description,
))
    {
  data: [
    Function("increment"),
    Function("double"),
    Function("submit_order")
  ]
}
    result = client.query(
  q.paginate(q.functions())
)
print(result)
    {'data': [Ref(id=increment, collection=Ref(id=functions)), Ref(id=double, collection=Ref(id=functions)), Ref(id=submit_order, collection=Ref(id=functions))]}
    result, err := client.Query(
	f.Paginate(f.Functions()))

if err != nil {
	fmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr, err)
} else {
	fmt.Println(result)
}
    map[data:[{increment 0xc0000b71d0 0xc0000b71d0 <nil>} {double 0xc0000b72c0 0xc0000b72c0 <nil>} {submit_order 0xc0000b73b0 0xc0000b73b0 <nil>}]]
    try
{
    Value result = await client.Query(
        Paginate(Functions())
    );
    Console.WriteLine(result);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"ERROR: {e.Message}");
}
    ObjectV(data: Arr(RefV(id = "increment", collection = RefV(id = "functions")), RefV(id = "double", collection = RefV(id = "functions")), RefV(id = "submit_order", collection = RefV(id = "functions"))))
    Paginate(Functions())
    {
  data: [
    Function("increment"),
    Function("double"),
    Function("submit_order")
  ]
}
    Query metrics:

    •    bytesIn:   31

    •   bytesOut:  230

    • computeOps:    1

    •    readOps:    8

    •   writeOps:    0

    •  readBytes:  334

    • writeBytes:    0

    •  queryTime: 11ms

    •    retries:    0

  2. The following query lists the References for any user-defined functions (up to the pagination limit) in a child database named "child_db":

    client.query(
  q.Paginate(q.Functions(q.Database('child_db')))
)
.then((ret) => console.log(ret))
.catch((err) => console.error(
  'Error: [%s] %s: %s',
  err.name,
  err.message,
  err.errors()[0].description,
))
    { data: [] }
    result = client.query(
  q.paginate(q.functions(q.database("child_db")))
)
print(result)
    {'data': []}
    result, err := client.Query(
	f.Paginate(f.ScopedFunctions(f.Database("child_db"))))

if err != nil {
	fmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr, err)
} else {
	fmt.Println(result)
}
    map[data:[]]
    try
{
    Value result = await client.Query(
        Paginate(Functions(Database("child_db")))
    );
    Console.WriteLine(result);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"ERROR: {e.Message}");
}
    ObjectV(data: Arr())
    Paginate(Functions(Database('child_db')))
    { data: [] }
    Query metrics:

    •    bytesIn:   50

    •   bytesOut:   24

    • computeOps:    1

    •    readOps:    8

    •   writeOps:    0

    •  readBytes:  363

    • writeBytes:    0

    •  queryTime: 17ms

    •    retries:    0
