   .. include:: /includes/apiargs/MongoDBCollection-method-rename-option.rst

</reference/command/renameCollection>` command. The return type will depend on the

Example
-------

The following operation renames the ``restaurants`` collection in the ``test``
database to ``places``:

.. code-block:: php

   <?php

   $collection = (new MongoDB\Client)->test->restaurants;

   $result = $collection->rename('places');

   var_dump($result);

The output would then resemble::

   object(MongoDB\Model\BSONDocument)#9 (1) {
     ["storage":"ArrayObject":private]=>
     array(1) {
       ["ok"]=>
       float(1)
     }
   }
