Examples
--------

The following example finds and deletes the document with ``restaurant_id`` of
``"40375376"`` from the ``restaurants`` collection in the ``example`` database:

.. code-block:: php

   <?php

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

   $deletedRestaurant = $collection->findOneAndDelete(
       [ 'restaurant_id' => '40375376' ],
       [
           'projection' => [
               'name' => 1,
               'borough' => 1,
               'restaurant_id' => 1,
           ],
       ]
   );

   var_dump($deletedRestaurant);

The output would then resemble::

   object(stdClass)#14 (4) {
     ["_id"]=>
     object(MongoDB\BSON\ObjectID)#11 (1) {
       ["oid"]=>
       string(24) "576023c6b02fa9281da3fad9"
     }
     ["borough"]=>
     string(9) "Manhattan"
     ["name"]=>
     string(15) "Agra Restaurant"
     ["restaurant_id"]=>
     string(8) "40375376"
   }
