    # Initialize the client for ArangoDB.
    async with ArangoClient(hosts="http://localhost:8529") as client:
        auth = Auth(username="root", password="passwd")

        # Connect to "test" database as root user.
        db = await client.db("test", auth=auth)

        # Retrieve list of views.
        await db.views()

        # Create a view.
        await db.create_view(
            name="foo",
            view_type="arangosearch",
            properties={
                "cleanupIntervalStep": 0,
                "consolidationIntervalMsec": 0
            }
        )

        # Rename a view (not supported in cluster deployments).
        await db.rename_view("foo", "bar")

        # Retrieve view properties.
        await db.view("bar")

        # Retrieve view summary.
        await db.view_info("bar")

        # Partially update view properties.
        await db.update_view(
            name="bar",
            properties={
                "cleanupIntervalStep": 1000,
                "consolidationIntervalMsec": 200
            }
        )

        # Replace view properties. Unspecified ones are reset to default.
        await db.replace_view(
            name="bar",
            properties={"cleanupIntervalStep": 2000}
