ReQL command: get_intersecting

Command syntax

table.get_intersecting(geometry, {:index => 'indexname'}) → selection<stream>

Description

Get all documents where the given geometry object intersects the geometry object of the requested geospatial index.

The index argument is mandatory. This command returns the same results as table.filter{ |row| row['index'].intersects(geometry) }. The total number of results is limited to the array size limit which defaults to 100,000, but can be changed with the array_limit option to run.

Example: Which of the locations in a list of parks intersect circle1?

circle1 = r.circle([-117.220406,32.719464], 10, {:unit => 'mi'})
r.table('parks').get_intersecting(circle1, {:index => 'area'}).run(conn)
