How to Get Entity Counters


  • When a document is loaded to the session,
    the loaded entity will contain various metadata information such as ID, current change-vector, and more.

  • If the document has Counters, the document metadata will also contain its counter names.
    The counter names are available for each entity using the getCountersFor() method from the advanced session operations.

  • In this page:

const employee = await session.load("employees/1-A");

// Get counter names from the loaded entity
const counterNames = session.advanced.getCountersFor(employee);

Parameter Type Description

An exception is thrown if the entity is not tracked by the session.
