#create_collection(options = {}) ⇒ Object

POST /_api/collection Creates an new collection with a given name. The request must contain an object with the following attributes. name: The name of the collection. waitForSync (optional, default: false): If true then the data is synchronised to disk before returning from a create or update of an document. journalSize (optional, default is a configuration parameter): The maximal size of a journal or datafile. Note that this also limits the maximal size of a single object. Must be at least 1MB. isSystem (optional, default is false): If true, create a system collection. In this case collection-name should start with an underscore. End users should normally create non-system collections only. API implementors may be required to create system collections in very special occasions, but normally a regular collection will do. type (optional, default is 2): the type of the collection to create. The following values for type are valid: 2: document collections 3: edge collection
