Command syntax

Description

The opposite of pluck; takes an object or a sequence of objects, and returns them with the specified paths removed.

Example: Since we don’t need it for this computation we’ll save bandwidth and leave out the list of IronMan’s romantic conquests.

r.table('marvel').get('IronMan').without('personalVictoriesList').run(conn)

Example: Without their prized weapons, our enemies will quickly be vanquished.

r.table('enemies').without('weapons').run(conn)

Example: Nested objects can be used to remove the damage subfield from the weapons and abilities fields.

r.table('marvel').without({'weapons' : {'damage' : True}, 'abilities' : {'damage' : True}}).run(conn)

Example: The nested syntax can quickly become overly verbose so there’s a shorthand for it.

r.table('marvel').without({'weapons' : 'damage', 'abilities' : 'damage'}).run(conn)
