Query.prototype.estimatedDocumentCount()

Parameters

• [options] «Object» passed transparently to the MongoDB driver

• [callback] «Function» optional params are (error, count)

Returns:

• «Query» this

Specifies this query as a estimatedDocumentCount() query. Faster than using countDocuments() for large collections because estimatedDocumentCount() uses collection metadata rather than scanning the entire collection.

estimatedDocumentCount() does not accept a filter. Model.find({ foo: bar }).estimatedDocumentCount() is equivalent to Model.find().estimatedDocumentCount()

This function triggers the following middleware.

• estimatedDocumentCount()

Example:

await Model.find().estimatedDocumentCount();
