Mango Query (Find)

CouchDB's JSON query language inspired by MongoDB. Create an index on queried fields first for performance.

Syntax

couchdb

db.find({ selector: {...}, sort: [...], limit: n })

Example

couchdb

await db.createIndex({ index: { fields: ['role', 'createdAt'] } });

const result = await db.find({
  selector: { role: 'admin', createdAt: { $gt: '2025-01-01' } },
  sort: [{ createdAt: 'desc' }],
  limit: 20,
});
