# claro



__[Documentation](http://xsc.github.io/claro/)__ | __[Guides](doc)__



__claro__ is a library that allows you to streamline your data access, providing

powerful optimisations and abstractions along the way.

It is inspired by [muse][muse] and heavily influenced by [GraphQL][graphql].



claro requires Clojure ≥ 1.7.0.

## Features



claro is designed to be flexible and extensible. It'll make your data access

more elegant, efficient and testable, providing things like:



- __batched resolution__ of similar entities,

- automatic __caching__ of already known resolution results,

- __engine middlewares__ to hook into the resolution logic, allowing e.g.

  generic cache or circuit breaker implementations,

- pluggable __resolution strategies__ in the form of `Resolvable` selectors,

- an exchangeable __deferred implementation__, defaulting to

  [manifold][manifold],

- and pre-built middlewares for __data source mocking__, introspection and

  result transformation.

## Quickstart



Data access is defined within records implementing the `Resolvable` interface.

Note that they can always produce more resolvables:



```clojure

(require '[claro.data :as data]

         '[manifold.deferred :as d])



(defrecord Person [id]

  data/Resolvable

  (resolve! [_ env]

    (d/future

      (fetch-person! (:db env) id)))

  data/Transform

  (transform [_ {:keys [friend-ids] :as person}]

    (assoc person :friends (map #(Person. %) friend-ids))))

```



Blindly resolving an infinite tree like this is usually not a good idea – but

claro offers _tree projections_ you can use to describe abstract transformations

of infinite structures:



```clojure

(require '[claro.projection :as projection])



(def person-with-friend-names

  {:id      projection/leaf

   :name    projection/leaf

   :friends [(projection/extract :name)]})

```



And here we go:



```clojure

(require '[claro.engine :as engine])



(engine/run!!

  (-> (->Person 1)

      (projection/apply person-with-friend-names)))

;; => {:id 1, :name "Sherlock Holmes", :friends ["Dr. Watson", "Ms. Hudson"]}

```
