MongoDB\Driver\ReadConcern::isDefault

Checks if this is the default read concern

&reftitle.description; final public `bool` `MongoDB\Driver\ReadConcern::isDefault`

Returns whether this is the default read concern (i.e. no options are specified). This method is primarily intended to be used in conjunction with `MongoDB\Driver\Manager::getReadConcern` to determine whether the Manager has been constructed without any read concern options.

The driver will not include a default read concern in its read operations (e.g. `MongoDB\Driver\Manager::executeQuery`) in order order to allow the server to apply its own default. Libraries that access the Manager's read concern to include it in their own read commands should use this method to ensure that default read concerns are left unset.

&reftitle.parameters; &no.function.parameters;
&reftitle.returnvalues;

Returns &true; if this is the default read concern and &false; otherwise.
