 How to create collection named not "xxx_xxx" but "xxx"?

Answer 1

Foxx will automatically prefix the name based on the mount path of the service. That's intentionally to avoid conflicts with other services.

You could use a non-prefix "xxx" collection as well if you use the low-level db._collection method to access this collection.

In the corresponding documentation you find suggestions on how to share collections between services as well: https://docs.arangodb.com/3.4/Manual/Foxx/Guides/Collections.html

Example Route /some_products :

router.get('/some_products', function (req, res) {
  res.set("Content-Type", "text/plain; charset=utf-8");

  const { db, aql } = require("@arangodb");
  const query = aql`
    FOR doc IN products
      LIMIT 10
    RETURN doc
  `;
  res.json(db._query(query).toArray());
}
