    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).

Type Members

  1. trait GetAsyncArray[Tpl] extends AnyRef

    Asynchronous data getter methods on molecules returning Future[Array[Tpl]].

    Asynchronous data getter methods on molecules returning Future[Array[Tpl]].

    The fastest way of getting a large typed data set since data is applied to a super fast pre-allocated Array. The Array can then be traversed with a fast while loop.

    // Map over the Future
Ns.int.getAsyncArray.map { result =>
  result === Array(1, 2, 3)

  // Fast while loop
  var i = 0
  val length = result.length
  while(i < length) {
    println(result(i)) // Do stuff with row...
    i += 1
  }
}

    Each asynchronous getter in this package simply wraps the result of its equivalent synchronous getter (in the get package) in a Future. getAsyncArrayAsOf thus wraps the result of getArrayAsOf in a Future and so on.

  2. trait GetAsyncIterable[Tpl] extends AnyRef

    Asynchronous data getter methods on molecules returning Future[Iterable[Tpl]].

    Asynchronous data getter methods on molecules returning Future[Iterable[Tpl]].

    Suitable for data sets that are lazily consumed.

    val iterableFuture: Future[Iterable[(String, Int)]] = Person.name.age.getAsyncIterable
for {
  iterable <- iterableFuture
} yield {
  iterable.iterator.next === ("Ben" 42)
}

    Each asynchronous getter in this package simply wraps the result of its equivalent synchronous getter (in the get package) in a Future. getAsyncIterableAsOf thus wraps the result of getIterableAsOf in a Future and so on.

  3. trait GetAsyncJson extends AnyRef

    Asynchronous data getter methods on molecules returning Future-wrapped Json String.

    Asynchronous data getter methods on molecules returning Future-wrapped Json String.

    Molecule builds a Json String directly from the untyped raw Datomic data.

    Attributes names are used as Json field names. In order to distinguish fields from each other, all attribute names are prepended with the namespace name (in lowercase). For a namespace Person with an attribute name we get:

    • "person.name"

    To distinguis fields of multiple relationships to the same namespace like friends and enemies pointing to other Person's require us to add a relationship name prefix too:

    • "friends.person.name"
    • "enemies.person.name"

    Furthermore, if the attribute is part of a transaction meta-data molecule, we prefix that with tx too:

    • "tx.person.name"
    • "tx.friends.person.name"

    Example:

    val jsonFuture: Future[String] = Person.name.age.getAsyncJson
for {
  json <- jsonFuture
} yield {
  json ===
   """[
     |{"person.name": "Ben", "person.age": 42},
     |{"person.name": "Liz", "person.age": 37}
     |]""".stripMargin
}

    Each asynchronous getter in this package simply wraps the result of its equivalent synchronous getter (in the get package) in a Future. getAsyncIterableAsOf thus wraps the result of getIterableAsOf in a Future and so on.

  4. trait GetAsyncList[Tpl] extends AnyRef

    Default asynchronous data getter methods on molecules returning Future[List[Tpl]].

    Default asynchronous data getter methods on molecules returning Future[List[Tpl]].

    For expected smaller result sets it's convenient to return Lists of tuples of data. Considered as the default getter, no postfix has been added (getAsync instead of getAsyncList).

    val futureList: Future[List[(String, Int)]] = Person.name.age.getAsync
for {
  list <- futureList
} yield {
  list === List(
    ("Ben", 42),
    ("Liz", 37)
  )
}

    Each asynchronous getter in this package simply wraps the result of its equivalent synchronous getter (in the get package) in a Future. getAsyncAsOf thus wraps the result of getAsOf in a Future and so on.

  5. trait GetAsyncRaw extends AnyRef

    Asynchronous data getter methods on molecules returning raw untyped Datomic data.

    Asynchronous data getter methods on molecules returning raw untyped Datomic data.

    Returns a Future with raw untyped java.util.Collection[java.util.List[Object]] directly from Datomic and is therefore the fastest (but untyped) way of retrieving data. Can be useful where typed data is not needed.

    val rawDataFuture: Future[java.util.Colleciton[java.util.List[Object]] = Person.name.age.getAsyncRaw
for {
  rawData <- rawDataFuture
} yield {
  rawData.toString === """[["Ben" 42]["Liz" 37]]"""
}

    Each asynchronous getter in this package simply wraps the result of its equivalent synchronous getter (in the get package) in a Future. getAsyncRawAsOf thus wraps the result of getRawAsOf in a Future and so on.
