# Supported Versions

Oriento aims to work with version 1.7.1 of orientdb and later. While it may work with earlier versions, they are not currently supported, [pull requests are welcome!](./CONTRIBUTING.md)

> **IMPORTANT**: Oriento does not currently support OrientDB's Tree Based [RIDBag](https://github.com/orientechnologies/orientdb/wiki/RidBag) feature because it relies on making additional network requests.
> This means that by default, the result of e.g. `JSON.stringify(record)` for a record with up to 119 edges will be very different from a record with 120+ edges.
> This can lead to very nasty surprises which may not manifest themselves during development but could appear at any time in production.
> There is an [open issue](https://github.com/orientechnologies/orientdb/issues/2315) for this in OrientDB, until that gets fixed, it is **strongly recommended** that you set `RID_BAG_EMBEDDED_TO_SBTREEBONSAI_THRESHOLD` to a very large value, e.g. 2147483647.
> Please see the [relevant section in the OrientDB manual](http://www.orientechnologies.com/docs/2.0/orientdb.wiki/RidBag.html#configuration) for more information.

.from('#12:12')
.to('#12:13')
.scalar()
.then(function (count) {
console.log('deleted ' + count + ' edges');
});
```

### Creating a function
You can create a function by supplying a plain javascript function. Please note that the method stringifies the `function` passed so you can't use any varaibles outside the function closure.

```js
db.createFn("nameOfFunction", function(arg1, arg2) {
return arg1 + arg2;
})
.then(function (count) {
// Function created!
});
```

You can also omit the name and it'll default to the `Function#name`

```js
db.createFn(function nameOfFunction(arg1, arg2) {
return arg1 + arg2;
})
.then(function (count) {
// Function created!
});
```

# CLI

An extremely minimalist command line interface is provided to allow
databases to created and migrations to be applied via the terminal.

To be useful, oriento requires some arguments to authenticate against the server. All operations require the `password` argument unless the user is configured with an empty password. For operations that involve a specific db, include the `dbname` argument (with `dbuser` and `dbpassword` if they are set to something other than the default).

You can get a list of the supported arguments using `oriento --help`.

```sh
-d, --cwd The working directory to use.
-h, --host The server hostname or IP address.
-p, --port The server port.
-u, --user The server username.
-s, --password The server password.
-n, --dbname The name of the database to use.
-U, --dbuser The database username.
-P, --dbpassword The database password.
-?, --help Show the help screen.
```

If it's too tedious to type these options in every time, you can also create an `oriento.opts` file containing them. Oriento will search for this file in the working directory and apply any arguments it contains.
For an example of such a file, see [test/fixtures/oriento.opts](./test/fixtures/oriento.opts).

> Note: For brevity, all these examples assume you've installed oriento globally (`npm install -g oriento`) and have set up an oriento.opts file with your server and database credentials.

## Database CLI Commands.

### Listing all the databases on the server.

```sh
oriento db list
```

### Creating a new database

```sh
oriento db create mydb graph plocal
```

### Destroying an existing database

```sh
oriento db drop mydb
```

## Migrations

Oriento supports a simple database migration system. This makes it easy to keep track of changes to your orientdb database structure between multiple environments and distributed teams.

When you run a migration command, oriento first looks for an orient class called `Migration`. If this class doesn't exist it will be created.
This class is used to keep track of the migrations that have been applied.

Oriento then looks for migrations that have not yet been applied in a folder called `migrations`. Each migration consists of a simple node.js module which exports two methods - `up()` and `down()`. Each method receives the currently selected database instance as an argument.

The `up()` method should perform the migration and the `down()` method should undo it.

> Note: Migrations can incur data loss! Make sure you back up your database before migrating up and down.

In addition to the command line options outlined below, it's also possible to use the migration API programatically:

```js
var db = server.use('mydb');

var manager = new Oriento.Migration.Manager({
db: db,
dir: __dirname + '/migrations'
});

manager.up(1)
.then(function () {
console.log('migrated up by one!')
});
```

### Listing the available migrations

To list all the unapplied migrations:

```sh
oriento migrate list
```

### Creating a new migration

```sh
oriento migrate create my new migration
```

creates a file called something like `m20140318_200948_my_new_migration` which you should edit to specify the migration up and down methods.

### Migrating up fully

To apply all the migrations:

```sh
oriento migrate up
```

### Migrating up by 1

To apply only the first migration:

```sh
oriento migrate up 1
```

### Migrating down fully

To revert all migrations:

```sh
oriento migrate down
```

### Migrating down by 1

```sh
oriento migrate down 1
```

## Events
You can also bind to the following events

### `beginQuery`
Given the query

db.select('name, status').from('OUser').where({"status": "active"}).limit(1).fetch({"role": 1}).one();

The following event will be triggered

db.on("beginQuery", function(obj) {
// => {
// query: 'SELECT name, status FROM OUser WHERE status = :paramstatus0 LIMIT 1',
// mode: 'a',
// fetchPlan: 'role:1',
// limit: -1,
// params: { params: { paramstatus0: 'active' } }
// }
});

### `endQuery`
After a query has been run, you'll get the the following event emitted

db.on("endQuery", function(obj) {
// => {
// "err": errObj,
// "result": resultObj,
// "perf": {
// "query": timeInMs
// }
// }
});

# History

In 2012, [Gabriel Petrovay](https://github.com/gabipetrovay) created the original [node-orientdb](https://github.com/gabipetrovay/node-orientdb) library, with a straightforward callback based API.

In early 2014, [Giraldo Rosales](https://github.com/nitrog7) made a [whole host of improvements](https://github.com/nitrog7/node-orientdb), including support for orientdb 1.7 and switched to a promise based API.

Later in 2014, [codemix](http://codemix.com/) refactored the library to make it easier to extend and maintain, and introduced an API similar to [nano](https://github.com/dscape/nano). The result is so different from the original codebase that it warranted its own name and npm package. This also gave us the opportunity to switch to semantic versioning.
