# Arbor
[](https://travis-ci.org/coryodaniel/arbor)
[](https://hex.pm/packages/arbor)
[](https://hexdocs.pm/arbor)
Ecto adjacency list and tree traversal using CTEs. Arbor uses a `parent_id` field
and CTEs to create simple deep tree-like SQL hierarchies.
## Installation
If [available in Hex](https://hex.pm/docs/publish), the package can be installed as:
Add `arbor` to your list of dependencies in `mix.exs`:
For Ecto SQL 3+:
```elixir
def deps do
[{:arbor, "~> 1.1.0"}]
end
```
For Ecto 2:
```elixir
def deps do
[{:arbor, "~> 1.0.6"}]
end
```
## Benchmarks
Arbor has been [benchmarked](https://github.com/coryodaniel/arbor_bench) on 10mm+ record tables with efficient results:
10,000,000 rows, 25% root
```

## Usage
```elixir
defmodule Comment do
use Ecto.Schema
# See config options below
use Arbor.Tree, foreign_key_type: :binary_id
schema "comments" do
field :body, :string
belongs_to :parent, __MODULE__
timestamps
end
end
```
All methods return composable Ecto queries. For in depth examples see the [tests](./test/arbor)
### Roots
Returns root level records.
```elixir
roots = Comment.roots
|> Repo.all
```
### Siblings
Return the siblings of a record.
```elixir
siblings = my_comment
|> Comment.siblings
|> Comment.order_by_popularity
|> Repo.all
```
### ancestors
Returns the entire ancestor (parent's parent's parent, etc) path to the record, but not including the record.
```elixir
ancestors = my_comment
|> Comment.ancestors
|> Comment.order_by_inserted_at
|> Repo.all
```
### Descendants
Returns the entire descendant tree of a record, but not including the record.
```elixir
descendants = my_comment
|> Comment.descendants
|> Comment.order_by_inserted_at
|> Repo.all
```
A second parameter can be passed to `descendants` to specify how deep
from the root of the tree to retrieve the descendants from.
```elixir
descendants = my_comment
|> Comment.descendants(2)
|> Comment.order_by_inserted_at
|> Repo.all
```
### Children
Returns the immediate children of a record.
```elixir
children = my_comment
|> Comment.children
|> Repo.all
```
### Parent
Returns the record's parent.
```elixir
parent = my_comment
|> Comment.parent
|> Repo.first
```

* *tree_name* - set the name of the CTE
* *primary_key* - defaults to field from Ecto's `@primary_key`
* *primary_key_type* - defaults to type from Ecto's `@primary_key`
* *foreign_key* - defauts to `:parent_id`
* *foreign_key_type* - defaults to type from Ecto's `@primary_key`

## Contributing
You'll need PostgreSQL installed and a user that can create and drop databases.
There is a docker-compose file for your convienence.
You can specify it with the environment variable `ARBOR_DB_USER`.
The `mix test` task will drop and create the database for each run.
```shell
docker-compose up -d
ARBOR_DB_USER=postgres mix test
docker-compose down
```
