```typescript
import { MemoryLevel } from 'memory-level';
import { DataFactory } from 'rdf-data-factory';
import { Quadstore } from 'quadstore';
import { Engine } from 'quadstore-comunica';
// Any implementation of AbstractLevel can be used.

to the persistence layer
We're also evaluating the following features for future developments:
- [RDF*][r1] (see also [these slides][r2])
[r1]: https://blog.liu.se/olafhartig/2019/01/10/position-statement-rdf-star-and-sparql-star/
[r2]: http://olafhartig.de/slides/W3CWorkshop2019RDFStarAndSPARQLStar.pdf
### Notes
- uses [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org), pre-releases are tagged
accordingly;
- requires Node.js >= 18.0.0.
## Usage
### Parsing and serializing RDF
`quadstore` is compatible with all parsers and serializers implementing the
relevant [RDF/JS interfaces][r0], such as [n3][r1] and [@rdfjs/formats][r2].
See [https://rdf.js.org][r0] for an open list of such libraries.
For example, here is how to use [n3][r1] in order to parse a [Turtle][r3] file
into an instance of `Quadstore` in a streaming fashion, with full backpressure
handling, using `classic-level` as the backend:
```typescript
import { Quadstore } from 'quadstore';
import { ClassicLevel } from 'classic-level';
import { DataFactory, StreamParser } from 'n3';
const store = new Quadstore({
backend: new ClassicLevel('/path/to/db'),
dataFactory: DataFactory,
});
await store.open();
const reader = fs.createReadStream('/path/to/file.ttl');
const parser = new StreamParser({ format: 'text/turtle' });
await store.putStream(reader.pipe(parser), { batchSize: 100 });
await store.close();
```
`quadstore` does not include any RDF parsing and/or serialization capability
by choice as no subset of formats would meet the requirements of every use
case and shipping support for all mainstream RDF formats would result in
exceedingly high bundle sizes.

### Storage backends
`quadstore` can work with any storage backend that implements the
[`AbstractLevel` interface][db1]. An incomplete list of available backends
is available at [level/awesome#stores][db6].
Our test suite focuses on the following backends:
- [`classic-level`][db2] for persistent, on-disk storage using [LevelDB][db0]
- [`memory-level`][db3] for volatile in-memory storage using red-black trees
- [`browser-level`][db9] for browser-side persistent storage using
[IndexedDB][db10]. For more information about browser-side usage, see the
[Browser usage section](#browser-usage)

### Data model and return values
Except for those related to the [RDF/JS stream interfaces][dm-2], `quadstore`'s
API is promise-based and all methods return objects that include both the actual
query results and the relevant metadata.
Objects returned by `quadstore`'s APIs have the `type` property set to one of
the following values:
- `"VOID"` - when there's no data returned by the database, such as with the
`put` method;
- `"QUADS"` - when a query returns a collection of quads;
- `"APPROXIMATE_SIZE"` - when a query returns an approximate count of how many
matching items are present.
For those methods that return objects with the `type` property set to
`"QUADS"`, `quadstore` provides query results either in streaming mode or in
non-streaming mode.
Streaming methods such as `getStream` return objects with the `iterator`
property set to an instance of [`AsyncIterator`][dm-4], an implementation of a
subset of the `stream.Readable` interface.
Non-streaming methods such as `get` return objects with the `items` property
set to an array of quads.
Quads are returned as and expected to be instances of the
[RDF/JS `Quad` interface][dm-1] as produced by the implementation of the
[RDF/JS `DataFactory` interface][dm-1] passed to the `Quadstore` constructor.
Matching patterns, such as those used in the `get` and `getStream` methods,
are expected to be maps of term names to instances of the
[RDF/JS Term interface][dm-1].
[dm-1]: https://rdf.js.org/data-model-spec/
[dm-2]: https://rdf.js.org/stream-spec/
[dm-3]: https://github.com/rdfjs-base/data-model
[dm-4]: https://github.com/RubenVerborgh/AsyncIterator#readme
### Quadstore class
```js
const Quadstore = require('quadstore').Quadstore;
const store = new Quadstore(opts);
```
Instantiates a new store. Supported properties for the `opts` argument
are:
##### opts.backend
The `opts.backend` option **must** be an instance of a leveldb backend.
See [storage backends](#storage-backends).
##### opts.dataFactory
The `dataFactory` option *must* be an implementation of the
[RDF/JS DataFactory interface][dm-1]. Some of the available
implementations:
- [rdf-data-factory](https://www.npmjs.com/package/rdf-data-factory)
- [@rdfjs/data-model](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@rdfjs/data-model)
- [N3.DataFactory](https://www.npmjs.com/package/n3)
##### opts.indexes
The `opts.indexes` option allows users to configure which indexes will be used
by the store. If not set, the store will default to the following indexes:
```js
[
['subject', 'predicate', 'object', 'graph'],
['object', 'graph', 'subject', 'predicate'],
['graph', 'subject', 'predicate', 'object'],
['object', 'subject', 'predicate', 'graph'],
['predicate', 'object', 'graph', 'subject'],
['graph', 'predicate', 'object', 'subject'],
];
```
This option, if present, **must** be set to an array of term arrays, each of
which **must** represent one of the 24 possible permutations of the four terms
`subject`, `predicate`, `object` and `graph`. Partial indexes are not
supported.
The store will automatically select which index(es) to use for a given query
based on the available indexes and the query itself. **If no suitable index is
found for a given query, the store will throw an error**.
##### opts.prefixes
Also, `Quadstore` can be configured with a `prefixes` object that defines a
reversible mapping of IRIs to abbreviated forms, with the intention of reducing
the storage cost where common HTTP prefixes are known in advance.
The `prefixes` object defines a bijection using two functions `expandTerm` and
`compactIri`, both of which take a string parameter and return a string, as in
the following example:
```js
opts.prefixes = {
expandTerm: term => term.replace(/^ex:/, 'http://example.com/'),
compactIri: iri => iri.replace(/^http:\/\/example\.com\//, 'ex:'),
}
```
This will replace the IRI `http://example.com/a` with `ex:a` in storage.
### Access to the backend
The backend of a `quadstore` can be accessed with the `db` property, to perform
additional storage operations independently of quads.
In order to perform write operations atomically with quad storage, the `put`,
`multiPut`, `del`, `multiDel`, `patch` and `multiPatch` methods accept a
`preWrite` option which defines a procedure to augment the batch, as in the
following example:
```js
await store.put(dataFactory.quad(/* ... */), {
preWrite: batch => batch.put('my.key', Buffer.from('my.value'))
});
```
### Quadstore.prototype.open()
This method opens the store and throws if the open operation fails for any reason.
### Quadstore.prototype.close()
This method closes the store and throws if the open operation fails for any reason.
### Quadstore.prototype.get()
```js
const pattern = {graph: dataFactory.namedNode('ex://g')};
const { items } = await store.get(pattern);
```
Returns an array of all quads within the store matching the specified terms.
This method also accepts an optional `opts` parameter with the following
optional properties:
- `opts.order`: array of term names (e.g. `['object']`) that represents the
desired ordering criteria of returned quads. Equivalent to the `ORDER BY`
clause in `SQL`.
- `opts.reverse`: boolean value that indicates whether to return quads in
ascending or descending order. Equivalent to `ASC` / `DESC` modifiers in
`SQL`.
- `opts.limit`: limit the number of returned quads to the specified value.
Equivalent to `LIMIT` clause in `SQL`.
### Range matching
`quadstore` supports range-based matching in addition to value-based matching.
Ranges can be defined using the `gt`, `gte`, `lt`, `lte` properties:
```js
const pattern = {
object: {
termType: 'Range',
gt: dataFactory.literal('7', 'http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#integer')
}
};
const { items } = await store.get(matchTerms);
```
Values for literal terms with the following numeric datatypes are matched
against their numerical values rather than their literal representations:
```
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#integer
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#decimal
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#double
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#nonPositiveInteger
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#negativeInteger
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#long
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#int
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#short
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#byte
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#nonNegativeInteger
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#unsignedLong
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#unsignedInt
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#unsignedShort
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#unsignedByte
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#positiveInteger
```
This is also the case for terms with the following date/time datatypes:
```
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#dateTime
```
### Quadstore.prototype.put()
```js
await store.put(dataFactory.quad(/* ... */));

## Blank nodes and quad scoping
Blank nodes are defined as _existential_ variables in that they merely indicate
the existence of an entity rather than act as references to the entity itself.
While the semantics of blank nodes [can][bnode-disc-1] [be][bnode-disc-2]
[rather][bnode-disc-3] [confusing][bnode-disc-4], one of the most practical
consequences of their definition is that two blank nodes having the same label
may not refer to the same entity unless both nodes come from the same logical
set of quads.
As an example, here's two JSON-LD documents converted to N-Quads using the
[JSON-LD playground][jsonld-plg]:
```json
{
"@id": "http://example.com/bob",
"foaf:knows": {
"foaf:name": "Alice"
}
}
```
```
_:b0 .
_:b0 "Alice" .
```
```json
{
"@id": "http://example.com/alice",
"foaf:knows": {
"foaf:name": "Bob"
}
}
```
```
_:b0 .
_:b0 "Bob" .
```
The N-Quads equivalent for both of these documents contains a blank node with
the `b0` label. However, although the label is the same, these blank nodes
indicate the existence of two different entities. Intuitively, we can say that
a blank node is scoped to the logical grouping of quads that contains it, be it
a single quad, a document or a stream.
As quadstore treats all write operations as if they were happening within the
same scope, importing these two sets of quads would result in a collision of
two unrelated blank nodes, leading to a corrupted dataset.
A good way to address these issues is to skolemize [skolemize][skolem-def] all
blank nodes into IRIs / named nodes. However, this is not always possible and
/ or practical.
The [`initScope()`](#quadstoreprototypeinitscope) method returns a `Scope`
instance which can be passed to the `put`, `multiPut` and `putStream` methods.
When doing so, quadstore will replace each occurrence of a given blank node
with a different blank node having a randomly-generated label, preventing blank
node collisions.
Each `Scope` instance keeps an internal cache of mappings between previously
encountered blank nodes and their replacements, so that it is able to always
return the same replacement blank node for a given label. Each new mapping is
atomically persisted to the store together with its originating quad, leading
each scope to be incrementally persisted to the store consistently with each
successful `put` and `multiPut` operation. This allows scopes to be re-used
even across process restarts via the
[`loadScope()`](#quadstoreprototypeloadscope) method.

### Quadstore.prototype.initScope()
Initializes a new, empty scope.
```js
const scope = await store.initScope();
await store.put(quad, { scope });
await store.multiPut(quads, { scope });
await store.putStream(stream, { scope });
```
### Quadstore.prototype.loadScope()
Each `Scope` instance has an `.id` property that acts as its unique identifier.
The `loadScope()` method can be used to re-hydrate a scope through its `.id`:
```js
const scope = await store.initScope();
/* store scope.id somewhere */
```
```js
/* read the previously-stored scope.id */
const scope = await store.loadScope(scopeId);
```
### Quadstore.prototype.deleteScope()
Deletes all mappings of a given scope from the store.
```js
const scope = await store.initScope();
/* ... */
await store.deleteScope(scope.id);
```
### Quadstore.prototype.deleteAllScopes()
Deletes all mappings of all scopes from the store.
```js
await store.deleteAllScopes();
```
## SPARQL
SPARQL queries can be executed against a `Quadstore` instance using any query
engine capable of querying across RDF/JS data sources.
An example of one such engine is [quadstore-comunica][c2], an engine built as
a custom distribution and configuration of [Comunica][c1] that implements the
[RDF/JS Query spec][c4].:
> Comunica is a knowledge graph querying framework. [...] Comunica is a meta
> query engine using which query engines can be created. It does this by
> providing a set of modules that can be wired together in a flexible manner.
> [...] Its primary goal is executing SPARQL queries over one or more
> interfaces.
In time, [quadstore-comunica][c2] will be extended with custom query modules
that will optimize query performance by pushing some matching and ordering
operations down to quadstore itself.
```typescript
import { MemoryLevel } from 'memory-level';
import { DataFactory } from 'rdf-data-factory';

## Browser usage
The [`browser-level`][b1] backend for levelDB offers support for browser-side
persistent storage via [IndexedDB][b2].
`quadstore` can be bundled for browser-side usage via Webpack, preferably using
version 5.x. The reference [quadstore-browser][b0] is meant to help in getting
to a working Webpack configuration and also hosts a pre-built bundle with everything
that is required to use `quadstore` in browsers.

## Deno usage
`quadstore` can be used with the [Deno][d0] runtime via the [skypack.dev][d1]
CDN:
```ts
import { DataFactory } from 'https://cdn.skypack.dev/[email protected]';
import { Quadstore } from 'https://cdn.skypack.dev/[email protected]';
import { MemoryLevel } from 'https://cdn.skypack.dev/[email protected]';
import { Engine } from 'https://cdn.skypack.dev/[email protected]';
const backend = new MemoryLevel();
const dataFactory = new DataFactory();
const store = new Quadstore({ backend, dataFactory });
const engine = new Engine(store);
await store.open();
await store.put(dataFactory.quad(
dataFactory.namedNode('ex://s'),
dataFactory.namedNode('ex://p'),
dataFactory.namedNode('ex://o'),
));
const stream = await engine.queryBindings('SELECT * WHERE { ?s ?p ?o }');
stream.on('data', (bindings) => console.log(bindings));
```
Example usage:
```shell
deno run quadstore-test.ts
```
