Pull from data structure by using pattern.

Pattern is a DSL in clojure data structure, specify how to extract information from data.

*data-schema* clj/s

context-of clj/s

(context-of modifier)

(context-of modifier finalizer)

returns a query context of function modifier and function finalizer(default clojure.core/identity), this could be used to:

• modify query result, the value returned by modifier will be in the query result.
• collect information in all query results. Information on arguments:
• modifier: returns a key-value pair which will contains in the query result. argurments are:
  • args: a vector that might passed to this.
  • key-value: a key-value pair returned by original query running result.
• finalizer: accept a single map and returns any value which will be called when we've done querying.

qfn clj/s macro

(qfn pattern & body)

returns an anonymous query function on pattern, all logical variables in the pattern can be used in body. The whole query result stored in &?. See query's documentation for syntax of the pattern.

query clj/s

(query pattern)

(query pattern context)

Returns a query function from pattern. A query function can be used to extract information from data. Query function takes data as its single argument, if data matches the pattern, returns a map of resulting data and output variable bindings, the whole matching result is in '&? binding and other named logical variable bindings.

A pattern is a clojure data structure, in most cases, a pattern looks like the data which it queries, for example, to query data {:a {:b {:c 5}} :d {:e 2}} to extract :c, :e, you might use a pattern '{:a {:b {:c ?c}} :d {:e ?e}}. By marking the information you are interested in by logic variable like ?c, ?e, or by anonymous variable ?, you can get informatioon from the potentially massive data.

• Map pattern: {...}, mimic the shape of the map to be queried

• Filter pattern: If you specified a concrete value for a given key in a map, it works like a filter, i.e., pattern {:a ? :b 1} will return an empty map on data {:a 1 :b 2}. If you use same logical variabl in multiple places of a pattern, it has to be the same value, so if we can not satisfy this, the matching fails. i.e., pattern '{:a ?x :b ?x} returns an empty map on data {:a 2 :b 3}.

• Options: by enclosing a key in map pattern with a list (), and optional pairs of options, you can process value after a match or miss. i.e., pattern {(:a :not-found ::ok) ?} on data {:b 5} having a matching result of {:a ::ok}. Various options supported, and can be defined by multimethod of core/apply-post.

• Sequence pattern: For sequence of maps, using [] to enclose it. Sequence pattern can have an optional variable and options. i.e., pattern '[{:a ?} ?] on [{:a 1} {:a 3} {}] has a matching result of [{:a 1} {:a 3} {}].

Advanced arguments. Sometimes you need subqueries sharing information among them.

• You can pass an additional context to it, which is a QueryContext instance made by context-of function.

run-query clj/s

(run-query pattern data)

(run-query f pattern data)

Query data on pattern, returns a pair. See query function. Convinient for one-time use pattern.

with-data-schema clj macro

(with-data-schema schema & body)
