# DocQuery

Document query interface for plaintext documents stored in directories on a filesystem.

## Installation

```bash
~ $ npm install docquery
...
```

## Usage

### Library

```js
> var dq = new DocQuery("~/Projects/docquery/test/fixtures", {recursive: true})
DocQuery {}

> dq.search("star")
[{"filePath": "/Users/jonmagic/Projects/docquery/test/fixtures/top-5/movies.md", "fileName": "movies.md", "title": "movies", "modifiedAt": "2015-05-15T17:28:25.250Z", "body": "..."}]

> dq.documents
// [...returns list of all documents sorted newest to oldest]

> dq.on("ready", function() { console.log("fires when documents are finished loading") })
> dq.on("added", function(fileDetails) { console.log("fires when a document is added") })
> dq.on("updated", function(fileDetails) { console.log("fires when a document is updated") })
> dq.on("removed", function(fileDetails) { console.log("fires when a document is removed") })
```

### Command Line

Here's an example directory structure with some markdown documents in it.

```bash
~/Projects/docquery $ tree test/fixtures
test/fixtures
├── 2015-05-15.md
├── hello-world.md
└── top-5
├── burgers.md
└── movies.md

1 directory, 4 files
```

Use the docquery command line tool `dq` to query those documents and get back json results.

```bash
~/Projects/docquery $ dq -r -p test/fixtures star
[
{
"filePath": "/Users/jonmagic/Projects/docquery/test/fixtures/top-5/movies.md",
"fileName": "movies.md",
"title": "movies",
"modifiedAt": "2015-05-15T17:28:25.250Z",
"body": "..."
}
]
```

`dq` takes a number of options.

```bash
~/Projects/docquery $ dq -h
Usage: dq [options] query

Options:
-p, --path Path to search
-r, --recursive Search sub directories
-b, --body Include document body in search result
-h, --help Show dq help
```

Return file paths only from the search results with [`jq`](http://stedolan.github.io/jq/).

```bash
~/Projects/docquery $ dq -rp test/fixtures star | jq .[].filePath
"/Users/jonmagic/Projects/docquery/test/fixtures/top-5/movies.md"
```

Set default options by creating a `~/.dq` file that looks like this:

```json
{
"recursive": false,
"searchPath": "~/Notes",
"includeBody": false
}
```

## Development

```bash
~/Projects/docquery $ npm test

> [email protected] test /Users/jonmagic/Projects/docquery
> babel src --out-dir lib; mocha --compilers js:mocha-traceur test/*_test.js

src/cli.js -> lib/cli.js
