Research direction

Read src/api.js at the linked lines and compare its behavior with the Database.each documentation. Determine whether the implementation or the documented return value is authoritative, then align the affected source or documentation and verify that the API reference matches the resulting behavior.

Description

bug

Database.each() is documented as returning the Database instance:

Returns:
( Database ) — The database object. Usefull for method chaining

The source code, however, shows that it returns either the result of the done callback or undefined. Either the documentation or the code appears wrong.
