marisa-trie

This package provides a wrapper (a set of bindings) of MARISA-Trie.

Node requirements:

• Version >= 0.11.14 or Version == 0.10.x or Version == 0.8.x

Installation

npm install marisa-trie

If installation failed, try to update npm via npm install -g npm and update node-gyp bundled with npm.

Usage

The APIs are almost the same as the C++ library's. For example:

var Marisa = require('marisa-trie');
 
var keyset = new Marisa.Keyset();  // The keyword "new" is optional.
keyset.push_back('a');
keyset.push_back('app');
keyset.push_back('apple');
 
var trie = new Marisa.Trie();
trie.build(keyset);
 
var agent = new Marisa.Agent();
agent.set_query('apple');
while (trie.common_prefix_search(agent)) {
    var key = agent.key();
    console.log(key.id(), key.ptr());
}
/* OUTPUT:
 * 0 'a'
 * 1 'app'
 * 2 'apple'
 */

• build(keyset:Keyset [, flag:Number])

  Initialize the trie with a keyset.

• mmap(filepath:String)

  Map a file of trie data into memory and build the trie with it.

• map(buffer:Buffer [, length:Number])

  Map a UTF8-encoded string buffer into memory and build the trie with it. If length is specified, only load the first length bytes of the buffer.

• load(filepath:String)

  Load trie data from a file and build the trie.

• read(fd:Number)

  Read trie data from a ReadStream and build the trie. fd is an integer file descriptor.

• save(filepath:String)

  Dump the trie data into a file.

• write(fd:Number)

  Dump the trie data into a WriteStream. fd is an integer file descriptor'.

• empty(): Boolean

  Check whether the trie has no keys.

• size(): Number

  Return the number of keys. It is the same as num_keys().

• io_size(): Number

  Return the size of trie data in byte.

• lookup(agent:Agent): Boolean

  Check whether the key agent.query().ptr() is registered. If it is registered, return true, otherwise false. The search result is available through agent.key() and agent.key().ptr() should be equal to agent.query().ptr().

• reverse_lookup(agent:Agent)

  Restore a key with its ID agent.query().id(). The result is agent.key().ptr(). This method will throw an error if the ID is out of range.

• common_prefix_search(agent:Agent): Boolean

  Search keys with the possible prefixes of the query string agent.query().ptr(). If any matching key is found, return true. The first key is available through agent.key(). The next match will be available after the next common_prefix_search().

• predictive_search(agent:Agent): Boolean

  Search keys started with the query string agent.query().ptr(). And Similar to common_prefix_search(), it will return true until there are no more matching keys. There is one difference from the C++ version: agent.key().length() is equal to Buffer.byteLength(agent.key().ptr()).

Note: An agent keeps the internal state of common_prefix_search() and predictive_search() until it is passed to another search function or agent.set_query() is called.

Marisa.Keyset

class Keyset {
 public:
  Keyset();
 
  void push_back(const Key &key);
  //void push_back(const Key &key, char end_marker); 
 
  void push_back(const char *str);
  void push_back(const char *ptr, std::size_t length, float weight = 1.0);
 
  const Key &operator[](std::size_t i) const;
  Key &operator[](std::size_t i);

  std::size_t size() const;
  std::size_t total_length() const;
 
  void reset();
 
  void clear();
  void swap(Keyset &rhs);
};

• [index]: Key

  Access the key at the index. Return undefined if the index is out of range.

• push_back(key:Key)

  Add one key to the key set.

• push_back(string:String [, length:Number [, weight:Number]])

  Add one key to the key set. If length is specified, only read the first length bytes from the string. And weight can be used as the frequency of the key to help optimize the searching performance optionally. Weights will be accumulated for the same keys. After building the trie, weights will be overwritten by key IDs because every key uses a union to store a weight or an ID.

  If the key string contains NUL (0x00) characters, please specify the length explicitly so as to keep the NULs.

• empty(): Boolean

  Check whether the key set has no keys.

• size(): Number

  Return the number of keys. It is the same as num_keys().

• total_length(): Number

  Return the total length of all keys in byte.

Marisa.Agent

 public:
  Agent();
 
  const Query &query() const;

  void set_query(const char *str);
  void set_query(const char *ptr, std::size_t length);
  void set_query(std::size_t key_id);
};

• query(): Query

  Return the query information.

• key(): Key

  Return the search result.

• set_query(string:String [, length:Number])

  Set the query string. If length is specified, read only the first length bytes from the string.

  If the query string contains NUL (0x00) characters, please specify the length explicitly so as to keep the NULs.

• set_query(id:Number)

  Set the ID of key to restore.

 public:
  char operator[](std::size_t i) const;

• ptr(): String

  Return the query string.

• length(): Number

  Return the byte-length of the query string.

• id(): Number

  Return the ID of the key to restore.

};

• [index]: Number

  Access the UTF-8 unit at the index. Return undefined if the index is out of range.

• ptr(): String

  Return the last result of the query as a string.

• length(): Number

  Return the byte-length of the result string.

• id(): Number

  Return the ID of the key.
