# hyper-graph-db
[](https://greenkeeper.io/)
[](https://travis-ci.org/e-e-e/hyper-graph-db) [](https://coveralls.io/github/e-e-e/hyper-graph-db?branch=master)
hyper-graph-db is a graph database on top of [hyperdb](https://github.com/mafintosh/hyperdb). It interface and test specs have been adapted from [LevelGraph](https://github.com/levelgraph/levelgraph).
Like LevelGraph, **hyper-graph-db** follows the **Hexastore** approach as presented in the article: [Hexastore: sextuple indexing for semantic web data management C Weiss, P Karras, A Bernstein - Proceedings of the VLDB Endowment, 2008](http://www.vldb.org/pvldb/1/1453965.pdf). As such hyper-graph-db uses six indices for every triple in order to access them as fast as it is possible.
## install
```
npm install hyper-graph-db
```
This requires node v6.x.x or greater.
## basic usage
```js
var hypergraph = require('hyper-graph-db')
var db = hypergraph('./my.db', { valueEncoding: 'utf-8' })
var triple = { subject: 'a', predicate: 'b', object: 'c' }
db.put(triple, function (err) {
if (err) throw err
db.get({ subject: 'a' }, function(err, list) {
console.log(list)
});
})
```
## API
#### `var db = hypergraph(storage, [key], [options])`
Returns an instance of hyper-graph-db. Arguments are passed directly to hyperdb, look at its constructor [API](https://github.com/mafintosh/hyperdb#var-db--hyperdbstorage-key-options) for configuration options.
Storage argument can be a Hyperdb instance, a filepath, or a storage object. For an example of storage type objects look at [dat-storage](https://github.com/datproject/dat-storage).
Extra Options:
```js
{
index: 'hex' || 'tri', // 6 or 3 indices, default 'hex'
name: string, // name that prefixes blank nodes
prefixes: { // an object representing RDF namespace prefixes
[sorthand]: string,
},
}
```
The prefix option can be used to further reduce db size, as it will auto replace namespaced values with their prefered prefix.
For example: `{ vcard: 'http://www.w3.org/2006/vcard/ns#' }` will store `http://www.w3.org/2006/vcard/ns#given-name` as `vcard:given-name`.
**Note:** `index`, `name`, and `prefixes` can only be set when a graph db is first created. When loading an existing graph these values are also loaded from the db.
#### `db.on('ready')`
*This event is passed on from underlying hyperdb instance.*
Emitted exactly once: when the db is fully ready and all static properties have
been set. You do not need to wait for this when calling any async functions.
#### `db.on('error', err)`
*This event is passed on from underlying hyperdb instance.*
Emitted if there was a critical error before `db` is ready.
#### `db.put(triple, [callback])`
Inserts **Hexastore** formated entries for triple into the graph database.
#### `var stream = db.putStream(triple)`
Returns a writable stream.
#### `db.get(triple, [options], callback)`
Returns all entries that match the triple. This allows for partial pattern-matching. For example `{ subject: 'a' })`, will return all triples with subject equal to 'a'.
Options:
```js
{
limit: number, // limit number of triples returned
offset: number, // offset returned
filter: function (triple) { return bool }, // filter the results
}
```
#### `db.del(triple, [callback])`
Remove triples indices from the graph database.
#### `var stream = db.delStream(triple)`
Returns a writable stream for removing entries.
#### `var stream = db.getStream(triple, [options])`
Returns a readable stream of all matching triples.
Allowed options:
```js
{
limit: number, // limit number of triples returned
offset: number, // offset returned
filter: function (triple) { return bool }, // filter the results
}
```
#### `db.query(query, callback)`
Allows for querying the graph with [SPARQL](https://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-protocol/) queries.
Returns all entries that match the query.
SPARQL queries are implemented using [sparql-iterator](https://github.com/e-e-e/sparql-iterator) - a fork of [Linked Data Fragments Client](https://github.com/LinkedDataFragments/Client.js).
#### `var stream = db.queryStream(query)`
Returns a stream of results from the SPARQL query.
#### `db.search(patterns, [options], callback)`
Allows for Basic Graph Patterns searches where all patterns must match.
Expects patterns to be an array of triple options of the form:
```js
{
subject: String || Variable, // required
predicate: String || Variable, // required
object: String || Variable, // required
filter: Function, // optional
}
```
Allowed options:
```js
{
limit: number, // limit number of results returned
}
```
filter: function (triple) { return bool },
```js
db.put([{
subject: 'matteo',
predicate: 'friend',
object: 'daniele'
}, {
subject: 'daniele',
predicate: 'friend',
object: 'matteo'
}, {
subject: 'daniele',
predicate: 'friend',
object: 'marco'
}, {
subject: 'lucio',
predicate: 'friend',
object: 'matteo'
}, {
subject: 'lucio',
predicate: 'friend',
object: 'marco'
}, {
subject: 'marco',
predicate: 'friend',
object: 'davide'
}], () => {
const stream = db.search([{
subject: 'matteo',
predicate: 'friend',
object: db.v('x')
}, {
subject: db.v('x'),
predicate: 'friend',
object: db.v('y')
}, {
subject: db.v('y'),
predicate: 'friend',
object: 'davide'
}], (err, results) => {
if (err) throw err
console.log(results)
})
})
```
#### `var stream = db.searchStream(queries)`
Returns search results as a stream.
#### `db.graphVersion()`
Returns the version of hyper-graph-db that created the db.
#### `db.indexType()`
Returns the type of index which the graph is configured to use: `hex` or `tri`.
#### `db.name()`
Returns the name used for blank nodes when searching the db.
#### `db.prefixes()`
Returns an object representing the RDF prefixes used by the db.
