find( )


Returns the items that match the query.

The find() function returns a Promise that resolves to the results found by the query and some information about the results. The Promise is rejected if find() is called with incorrect permissions or if any of the functions used to refine the query is invalid.

Calling the find() function triggers the beforeQuery() and afterQuery() hooks if they have been defined.

Note: Calling find() triggers hooks for the specified collection only. It doesn’t trigger hooks for referenced collections.

Use the options parameter to override default preferences:

  • Override permission checks with suppressAuth.
  • Ensure the most up-to-date data is retrieved with consistentRead.
  • Prevent hooks from running with suppressHooks.
  • Speed up execution with omitTotalCount, if you don't need a count of items matching the query.

If you build a query and don't refine it with any wixDataQuery functions, find() returns the entire collection.
