How to delete a Collection in LokiJS
I been working on LokiJS on Node recently, And I could'nt find a command that deletes the entire Collection itself,
I tried with these commands with an assumption it would exist, I could not find any docs/ samples to delete a collection.
// let result = this.db.dropCollection(collectionName);
// let result = this.db.removeCollection(collectionName);
// let result = this.db.deleteCollection(collectionName);
Other way around I know I can achieve the same by reading the file and removing the entire object, But is there a built-in LokiJS function?
javascript node.js node-modules lokijs

To delete a collection you need to use the removeCollection() method on the main Loki object. See docs here.
For example, if you have your Loki instance initialized like this:
const loki = require('lokijs');
const lokidb = new loki();
// Add a collection (that we will remove later)
let myCollection = lokidb.addCollection('myCollection');
Now lokidb is your main loki object, and this is the object that you need to execute the removeCollection() from.
// Let's remove the collection
lokidb.removeCollection('myCollection');
// * poof * ....
// myCollection is now gone
I don't know exactly how you have your loki db set up, but hopefully this example helps.
