IDocumentClient.CreateDocumentAsync Method

public System.Threading.Tasks.Task<Microsoft.Azure.Documents.Client.ResourceResponse<Microsoft.Azure.Documents.Document>> CreateDocumentAsync (string collectionLink, object document, Microsoft.Azure.Documents.Client.RequestOptions options = default, bool disableAutomaticIdGeneration = false, System.Threading.CancellationToken cancellationToken = default);

abstract member CreateDocumentAsync : string * obj * Microsoft.Azure.Documents.Client.RequestOptions * bool * System.Threading.CancellationToken -> System.Threading.Tasks.Task<Microsoft.Azure.Documents.Client.ResourceResponse<Microsoft.Azure.Documents.Document>>

Public Function CreateDocumentAsync (collectionLink As String, document As Object, Optional options As RequestOptions = Nothing, Optional disableAutomaticIdGeneration As Boolean = false, Optional cancellationToken As CancellationToken = Nothing) As Task(Of ResourceResponse(Of Document))

Parameters

Returns

The Document that was created contained within a Task object representing the service response for the asynchronous operation.

Exceptions

Examples

Azure Cosmos DB supports a number of different ways to work with documents. A document can extend Resource

public class MyObject : Resource
{
    public string MyProperty {get; set;}
}

using (IDocumentClient client = new DocumentClient(new Uri("service endpoint"), "auth key"))
{
    Document doc = await client.CreateDocumentAsync("dbs/db_rid/colls/coll_rid/", new MyObject { MyProperty = "A Value" });
}

A document can be any POCO object that can be serialized to JSON, even if it doesn't extend from Resource

public class MyPOCO
{
    public string MyProperty {get; set;}
}

using (IDocumentClient client = new DocumentClient(new Uri("service endpoint"), "auth key"))
{
    Document doc = await client.CreateDocumentAsync("dbs/db_rid/colls/coll_rid/", new MyPOCO { MyProperty = "A Value" });
}

Finally, a Document can also be a dynamic object

using (IDocumentClient client = new DocumentClient(new Uri("service endpoint"), "auth key"))
{
    Document doc = await client.CreateDocumentAsync("dbs/db_rid/colls/coll_rid/", new { SomeProperty = "A Value" } );
}

Create a Document and execute a Pre and Post Trigger

using (IDocumentClient client = new DocumentClient(new Uri("service endpoint"), "auth key"))
{
    Document doc = await client.CreateDocumentAsync(
        "dbs/db_rid/colls/coll_rid/",
        new { id = "DOC123213443" },
        new RequestOptions
        {
            PreTriggerInclude = new List<string> { "MyPreTrigger" },
            PostTriggerInclude = new List<string> { "MyPostTrigger" }
        });
}
