    Public interface to be imported to use Molecule.

    Public interface to be imported to use Molecule.

    To make the Molecule macro materializations as fast as possible we try to import as few macro implicits as possible. If your application code build molecules with at the most 10 attributes, then you can do the following import to start using Molecule:

    import molecule.api.out10._

    out means "output molecule" , and 10 the maximum arity or number of attributes of your molecules.

    If you use input molecules awaiting an input then you can add inX where X is how many inputs (1, 2 or 3) you will use, for instance:

    import molecule.api.in2_out10._

    This way we keep the implicit macro def lookups to a minimum and compilation speed as fast as possible.

    Arities can be changed anytime you like. But not to a lower arity than that of the molecules you use in scope of the import.

    Synchronous getter methods to retrieve data from Datomic.

    Synchronous getter methods to retrieve data from Datomic.

    The Datomic On-Prem(ises) server model provides a Peer that returns data synchronously. The Peer which lives in application memory caches data aggressively and for data fitting in memory latency can be extremely low and queries return very fast. And even when access to disk is needed, clever branching is used. Memcached is also an option.

    The Datomic Cloud model data returns data asynchronously. If Datomic creates a Java API for the Cloud model, Molecule could relatively easy adapt to this model too. In the meanwhile, Future-wrapped methods in this package can be used.

    Molecule has 5 groups of synchronous getters, each returning data in various formats:

    • GetArray - fastest retrieved typed data set. Can be traversed with a fast while loop
    • GetIterable - for lazily traversing row by row
    • GetJson - data formatted as Json string
    • GetList - default getter returning Lists of tuples. Convenient typed data, suitable for smaller data sets
    • GetRaw - fastest retrieved raw un-typed data from Datomic

    Getters in each of the 5 groups come with 5 time-dependent variations:

    • get [current data]
    • getAsOf
    • getSince
    • getWith
    • getHistory

    Each time variation has various overloads taking different parameters (see each group for more info).

    RetractMolecule is created from calling Tx:

    val benId = Person.name("Ben").Tx(MyMetaData.action("add member")).save.eid
    
    // Retract entity with tx meta data
    benId.Tx(MyMetaData.action("moved away")).retract
    
    // Query for Ben's history and why he was retracted
    Person(benId).name.t.op.Tx(MyMetaData.action).getHistory === List(
      ("Ben", 1028, true, "add member"), // Ben added as member
      ("Ben", 1030, false, "moved away") // Ben retracted since he moved away
    )

    Entity retraction transaction meta data constructor.

    Build on from entity with Tx and apply a transaction meta data molecule to save transaction meta data with retraction of the entity.

    val benId = Person.name("Ben").Tx(MyMetaData.action("add member")).save.eid
    
    // Retract entity with tx meta data
    benId.Tx(MyMetaData.action("moved away")).retract

      ("Ben", 1030, false, "moved away") // Ben retracted since he moved away

  5. def apply(kw1: String, kw2: String, kws: String*): List[Option[Any]]

    Get List of two or more unchecked/untyped attribute values of entity.

    Get List of two or more unchecked/untyped attribute values of entity.

    Apply two or more namespaced attribute names to return a List of unchecked/untyped optional attribute values.

    Referenced entities can be cast to an Option[Map[String, Any]].

    val List(benId, benAddressId) = Person.name.age.Address.street.insert("Ben", 42, "Hollywood Rd").eids
    
    // Type ascription is still unchecked since it is eliminated by erasure
    val List(
      optName: Option[String],
      optAge: Option[Int],
      optAddress: Option[Map[String, Any]]
    ) = benId(
      ":person/name",
      ":person/age",
      ":person/address"
    )
    
    val name: String = optName.getOrElse("no name")
    
    // Type casting necessary to get right value type from Map[String, Any]
    val address: Map[String, Any] = optAddress.getOrElse(Map.empty[String, Any])
    val street: String = address.getOrElse(":address/street", "no street").asInstanceOf[String]
    
    name === "Ben"
    street === "Hollywood Rd"

    Typed apply is likely more convenient if typed values are required.

    kw1

    First namespaced attribute name: ":[namespace with lowercase first letter]/[attribute name]"

    kw2

    Second namespaced attribute name

    kws

    Further namespaced attribute names

    returns

    List of optional unchecked/untyped attribute values

  6. def apply[T](kw: String): Option[T]

    Get typed attribute value of entity.

    Get typed attribute value of entity.

    Apply namespaced attribute name with a type parameter to return an optional typed value.

    Note how referenced entities are returned as a Map so that we can continue traverse the entity graph.

    val List(benId, benAddressId) = Person.name.age.Address.street.insert("Ben", 42, "Hollywood Rd").eids
    
    // Level 1
    benId[String](":person/name") === Some("Ben")
    benId[Int](":person/age") === Some(42)
    
    // Level 2
    val refMap = benId[Map[String, Any]](":person/address").getOrElse(Map.empty[String, Any])
    benAddressId[String](":address/street") === Some("Hollywood Rd")
    
    // Non-asserted or non-existing attribute returns None
    benId[Int](":person/non-existing-attribute") === None
    benId[Int](":person/existing-but-non-asserted-attribute") === None
    T

    Type of attribute

    kw

    Namespaced attribute: ":[namespace with lowercase first letter]/[attribute name]"

    returns

    Optional typed attribute value

    Retract single entity using entity id.

    Retract single entity using entity id.

    // Get entity id of Ben
    val benId = Person.e.name_("Ben").get.head
    
    // Retract Ben entity
    benId.retract

    To retract single entity id with tx meta data, use
    eid.Tx(MyMetaData.action("my meta data")).retract

    To retract multiple entities (with or without tx meta data), use
    retract(eids, txMetaDataMolecules*) in molecule.api.EntityOps.

    returns

    molecule.facade.TxReport with result of retraction

  21. def retractAsync(implicit ec: ExecutionContext): Future[TxReport]

    Asynchronously retract single entity using entity id.

    // Get entity id of Ben
    val benId = Person.e.name_("Ben").get.head
    
    // Retract Ben entity asynchronously
    benId.retractAsync.map { tx =>
      // ..ben was retracted
    }

    To retract single entity id with tx meta data, use
    eid.Tx(MyMetaData.action("my meta data")).retract

    To retract multiple entities (with or without tx meta data), use
    retract(eids, txMetaDataMolecules*) in molecule.api.EntityOps.

    returns

    Get entity graph as Map-string (for presentation).

    To show the entity graph, this method quotes all text strings so that you can paste the whole graph into any presentation. Pasting it into test code is less useful, since the order of key/value pairs in a Map is not guaranteed. In that case, touchListQuoted is recommended since a List guarantees order.

    • Values of returned Map are untyped attribute values. For references to other entities, the value is a Map itself of the referenced entity attributes, etc.

    Get entity graph to some depth as Map-string (for presentation).

    Get entity graph to some depth as Map-string (for presentation).

    To show the entity graph, this method quotes all text strings so that you can paste the whole graph into any presentation. Pasting it into test code is less useful, since the order of key/value pairs in a Map is not guaranteed. In that case, touchListQuoted(maxLevel) is recommended since a List guarantees order.
