Below is my code of Function on MongoDB it is not working & throwing Error as createIndex() is not a function.
exports = function(arg){
const db = context.services.get(“mongodb-atlas”).db(“myapp”).collection(‘event’);

// return db.insertOne({‘DateTime’: new Date(),‘title’:‘Hello’});
return db.createIndex( { “DateTime”: 1 }, { “expireAfterSeconds”: 0} );
};

Hi @Its_Me,
Can you add this line before the return statement and tell us what you get?

console.log(db);

Thanks,
Rafael,

I’m not familiar with MongoDB Realm so I don’t know if it’s even possible to create an index that way.
You can try creating the index using the mongodb shell (or in atlas).
Goodluck,
Rafael,

Hi @Its_Me,

createIndex() is not a part of the MongoDB Actions available in functions for Realm.

As Rafael suggested, you can create the index using mongo shell or on Atlas using Data Explorer.

Hope this helps.

Kind Regards,
