Monkey patch of MarkLogic’s JSearch API to change the default values for slice(). Proof-of-concept. Don’t actually do this.

jsearch-slice.sjs

'use strict';

const jsearch = require('/MarkLogic/jsearch');

// Monkey patch
const proto = Object.getPrototypeOf(
  // Doesn’t actually run a query
  jsearch.collections('.').documents().where(cts.trueQuery())
);
const _slice = proto.slice;
Object.assign(proto, {
  slice(start = 0, end = 9007199254740991) {
    // Call the stashed original slice method with the new defaults
    return _slice.call(this, start, end);
  }
});

jsearch.documents().where(cts.trueQuery()).slice().result().results.length;
