mongolike-operations

Define Flow interfaces of MongoDB-like operations used in Phenyl modules.

OAD: Operations As Data

Operations As Data(OAD) is the concept of handling large JSON data that all the data operations (update/find) should be written as JSON format (≒ plain object). This mongolike-operations defines these Operation type.

Phenyl Family

mongolike-operation is one of Phenyl Family. Phenyl is a JavaScript Server/Client framework for State Synchronization over Environment(SSoE).

Types

FindOperation

Operation to find values in large JSON.

Type:

type FindOperation =
  SimpleFindOperation |
  {| $and: Array<FindOperation> |} |
  {| $nor: Array<FindOperation> |} |
  {| $or: Array<FindOperation> |}
 
type SimpleFindOperation = {
  [fieldName: DocumentPath]: QueryCondition | EqCondition,
}
 
type EqCondition = Object | Array<Basic> | string | number | boolean
// QueryCondition: See below section
 

Example:

const findOperation = {
  $and: [
    { libraryName: 'phenyl' },
    { 'libraryVersion.major': { $gte: 1 } }
  ]
}

QueryCondition

Condition to find values in large JSON, included in FindOperation. Almost compatible with MongoDB's Query Operators.

interface QueryCondition {
  // comparison
  $eq?: any,
  $gt?: any,
  $gte?: any,
  $in?: Array<any>,
  $lt?: any,
  $lte?: any,
  $ne?: any,
  $nin?: Array<any>,
  // logical
  $not?: QueryCondition,
  // element
  $exists?: boolean,
  $type?: BSONTypeNumber | BSONTypeString,
  // evaluation
  $mod?: [number, number],
  $regex?: RegExp | string,
  $options?: RegExp$flags,
  $text?: TextQueryCondition,
  $where?: Function, // To Be Implemented
  // geospatial
  $geoIntersects?: Object, // To Be Implemented
  $geoWithin?: Object, // To Be Implemented
  $near?: Object, // To Be Implemented
  $nearSphere?: Object, // To Be Implemented
  // array
  $all?: Array<any>,
  $elemMatch?: QueryCondition,
  $size?: number,
  // bitwise
  $bitsAllClear?: number, // Currently, only number is allowed
  $bitsAllSet?: number, // Currently, only number is allowed
  $bitsAnyClear?: number, // Currently, only number is allowed
  $bitsAnySet?: number, // Currently, only number is allowed
  // comments
  // $comment: // No implementation
}

UpdateOperation

Operations to update values of large JSON. Almost compatible with MongoDB's Update Operators.

See README of power-assign for more detailed use.

Restorable

Restorable is a characteristic of JavaScript class instances which meets the following requirement.

const jsonStr = JSON.stringify(instance)
const plain = JSON.parse(jsonStr)
const newInstance = new TheClass(plain)
 
assert.deepEqual(newInstance, instance)

Roughly, Restorable object is an instance which can re-created by passing its JSON object to the class constructor.

See is-restorable module for more detail.

DocumentPath

The same definition as Amazon DynamoDB's DocumentPath.

type DocumentPath = string

DocumentPath expresses nested value location.

{ foo: { arr: [ { bar: 'baz' }] }}

The string 'baz' is expressed as 'foo.arr[0].bar' in DocumentPath format.

This DocumentPath is slightly different from Dot Notation in MongoDB which expresses 'baz' as 'foo.arr.0.bar' (array index expression is different).
