Deleting all documents in collection

[Yusuf]

Description

I understand that Typesense does not currently support truncating a collection.

Would the following delete all documents in a collection?

client.collections('test').documents().delete({ filter_by: 'id>=0' })

An alternative could be to simply delete the collection and recreate it:

 const schema = await client.collections(indexName).retrieve();
 await client.collections(indexName).delete();
 return client.collections().create(schema);

If there is an alternative way to accomplish this, please let me know.

No, since id is a string field.

This is indeed the workaround for now.

We're tracking the truncation feature request here - Duplicate of #1016

Could you thumbs up it?
