Method View

txn.go:790–800

View executes a function creating and managing a read-only transaction for the user. Error returned by the function is relayed by the View method. If View is used with managed transactions, it would assume a read timestamp of MaxUint64.

(fn func(txn *Txn) error)

// returned by the function is relayed by the View method.
// If View is used with managed transactions, it would assume a read timestamp of MaxUint64.
func (db *DB) View(fn func(txn *Txn) error) error {
	var txn *Txn
	if db.opt.managedTxns {
		txn = db.NewTransactionAt(math.MaxUint64, false)
	} else {
		txn = db.NewTransaction(false)
	}
	defer txn.Discard()

	return fn(txn)
}

// Update executes a function, creating and managing a read-write transaction
// for the user. Error returned by the function is relayed by the Update method.
