.. phpmethod:: MongoDB\\Database::getTypeMap()

   Returns the type map for this database.

   .. code-block:: php

      function getTypeMap(): array

Return Values
-------------

A :ref:`type map <php-type-map>` array.

Example
-------

.. code-block:: php

   <?php

   $database = (new MongoDB\Client)->selectDatabase('test', [
       'typeMap' => [
           'root' => 'array',
           'document' => 'array',
           'array' => 'array',
       ],
   ]);

   var_dump($database->getTypeMap());

The output would then resemble::

   array(3) {
     ["root"]=>
     string(5) "array"
     ["document"]=>
     string(5) "array"
     ["array"]=>
     string(5) "array"
   }
