MongoDB\Driver\WriteConcern::isDefault — Checks if this is the default write concern

### Description

final public MongoDB\Driver\WriteConcern::isDefault(): bool

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

The driver will not include a default write concern in its write operations (e.g. MongoDB\Driver\Manager::executeBulkWrite()) in order to allow the server to apply its own default, which may have been » modified. Libraries that access the Manager's write concern to include it in their own write commands should use this method to ensure that default write concerns are left unset.

### Parameters

This function has no parameters.

### Return Values

Returns `true` if this is the default write concern and `false` otherwise.

### Errors/Exceptions

- Throws MongoDB\Driver\Exception\InvalidArgumentException on argument parsing errors.

### Examples

Example #1 MongoDB\Driver\WriteConcern::isDefault() example

    <?php

    $wc = new MongoDB\Driver\WriteConcern(1);
    var_dump($wc->isDefault());

    $manager = new MongoDB\Driver\Manager('mongodb://127.0.0.1/?w=majority');
    $wc = $manager->getWriteConcern();
    var_dump($wc->isDefault());

    $manager = new MongoDB\Driver\Manager('mongodb://127.0.0.1/');
    $wc = $manager->getWriteConcern();
    var_dump($wc->isDefault());

    ?>

The above example will output:

    bool(false)
    bool(false)
    bool(true)
