MongoDB\\Collection::getCollectionName()

.. default-domain:: mongodb

Definition
----------

.. phpmethod:: MongoDB\\Collection::getCollectionName()

   Returns the name of the current collection.
   
   .. code-block:: php

      function getCollectionName(): string

Example
-------

The following returns the name of the collection assigned to the
``$collection`` variable

.. code-block:: php

   <?php
   
   $collection = (new MongoDB\Client)->demo->zips;   
   echo $collection->getCollectionName();

The ``$collection`` variable uses the :phpmethod:`constructor
<MongoDB\\Collection::__construct>` method to select the ``zips``
collection in the ``demo`` database, as such, the printed output would
resemble:

.. code-block:: none

   zips
