var jinqJs = require('jinq');

Angular 1.x Service

If angular 1.x is loaded then jinqJs is available as a service in the module 'angular-jinqjs':

angular.module('app', ['angular-jinqjs']).controller('demoCtrl', ['$jinqJs', function ($jinqJs) { 
    var result = $jinqJs.from(data).select();
}]);

Perform RUD Operations

Starting in version 1.5.1 you can perform update and delete operations.

Examples

Joining Results With A Web Service Response And A Collection

var people = [{Name: 'Tom', Age: 15, Location: 'Port Jefferson'},
                {Name: 'Jen', Age: 30, Location: 'Huntington'},
                {Name: 'Diana', Age: 5, Location: 'Huntington'}];
                
/* WEB SERVICE TO QUERY */
var weatherSvc = 'http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=Huntington,NY';
/* Sample use of a .select() predicate to flatten result */ 
/* Calling a web service to query the response           */
var weather = new jinqJs()
                .from(weatherSvc)
                .select( function(row){
                    return { Location: row.name, Condition: row.weather[0].description };
                });
                    
/* Performs a join on the web service response and local collection */
var result = new jinqJs()
                .from(people)
                .where( function(row) { return (row.Age > 3 && row.Location == 'Huntington'); } )
                .leftJoin(weather).on('Location')
                .groupBy('Huntington', 'Condition').avg('Age')
                .select([{field: 'Location'}, {field: 'Age', text: 'Average Age'}, {field: 'Condition'}]);
RESULT
|  Location  | Average Age |     Condition |
|:----------:|:-----------:|--------------:|
| Huntington |     17.5    | Partly Cloudy |

Performing An Asynchronous Web Service Call

new jinqJs()
    .from('http://www.telize.com/geoip',
        function(self) {
        var result = self
                        .top(1)
                        .select('city', 'region');
        }
    );
RESULT
|     city    |  region  |
|:-----------:|:--------:|
| Stony Brook | New York |

Using Predicates For Complex Outer Join & Where Condition

var people = [
              {Name: 'Jane', Age: 20, Location: 'Smithtown'},
              {Name: 'Ken', Age: 57, Location: 'Islip'},
              {Name: 'Tom', Age: 10, Location: 'Islip'}
            ];
 
var population = [
              {Location: 'Islip', People: 123},
              {Location: 'Melville', People: 332},
            ];
                                        
var result = new jinqJs()
    .from(people)
    .leftJoin(population)
      .on( function( left, right ) {
        return (left.Location === right.Location);
      } )
    .where( function(row) {
      return ( row.Age > 15);
    })
    .select('Name', 'Location', 'People');
RESULT
| Name |  Location | People |
|:----:|:---------:|--------|
| Jane | Smithtown |        |
| Ken  | Islip     |        |

Creating Calculated Columns

function isChild(row) {
  return (row.Age < 18 ? 'Yes' : 'No');
}
var people = [
              {Name: 'Jane', Age: 20, Location: 'Smithtown'},
              {Name: 'Ken', Age: 57, Location: 'Islip'},
              {Name: 'Tom', Age: 10, Location: 'Islip'}
            ];
                        
var result = new jinqJs()
    .from(people)
    .orderBy('Age')
    .select([{field: 'Name'}, 
            {field: 'Age', text: 'Your Age'}, 
            {text: 'Is Child', value: isChild}]);
}]);
RESULT
| Name | Your Age | Is Child |
|:----:|:--------:|----------|
| Tom  |    10    |    Yes   |
| Jane |    20    |    No    |
| Ken  |    57    |    No    |
