dinoql

Build Status license

A customizable GraphQL style query language for interacting with JavaScript objects. Use dinoql to traverse JavaScript objects the same way you query APIs with GraphQL.

Table of Contents

Installation

dinoql is available from npm.

$ npm install dinoql -S

Why ?

The main objective is to use the same idea of GraphQL, however instead of being for API, it will be for javascript objects.

Documentation

All examples are using this data:

const data = {
  requests: {
    products: [],
    
    users: [{
      name: 'Victor Igor',
      id: "100",
      age: 40
    }, {
      name: 'Kant Jonas',
      id: "200",
      age: 35
    }],
    
    friends: [{
      name: 'KΓ‘tia',
      id: "300",
      age: 10
    }]
  }
}

Getting only name from users

import dinoql from 'dinoql'

const users = dinoql(data)`
  requests {
    users {
      name
    }
  }
`

console.log(users) //{ users: [{ name: 'Victor Igor' }, { name: 'Kant Jonas' }] }

Get user by id

import dinoql from 'dinoql'

const users = dinoql(data)`
  requests {
    users(id: "200") {
      name
    }
  }
`

console.log(users) //{ users: [{ name: 'Kant Jonas' }] }

Aliases - Renaming keys

import dinoql from 'dinoql'

const users = dinoql(data)`
  requests {
    changeUsers: users(id: "200") {
      name
    }
  }
`

console.log(users) //{ changeUsers: [{ name: 'Kant Jonas' }] }

Variables

Build dynamic queries with variables.

const data = {
  users: [{
    name: 'Victor Igor',
    id: "100",
    age: 18
  }, {
    name: 'Paul Gilbert',
    id: "200",
    age: 35
  }],	
};

const variables = {
  id: "100"
};

const gql = dinoql(data, { variables })`
  users(id: $id) {
    name
  }
`

// { users: [{ name: 'Victor Igor' }] }

Conditions to get fields

You can create conditions to get a field.

const data = {
  dashboard: {
    value: '#54'	
  },
  
  name: 'Vic'
};

const variables = {
  cond: false
};

const gql = dql(data, { variables })` 
  dashboard(if: $cond) {
    value
  },
  name
}`;
//{ name: 'Vic' }

const otherGql = dql(data, { variables })` 
  dashboard(unless: $cond) {
    value
  },
  name
}`;
//{ name: 'Vic', value: '#54' }

Keep key from object

Sometimes, we need to keep specific keys.

const data = {
  requests: {
    user: {
      name: {
        text: 'Dinoql'
      },
      
      description: {
        text: 'I am dinoql.'
      }
    }
  }
}

If you wanna keep some keys, like:

//{ user: { name: 'Dinoql', description: 'I am dinoql.'} }

You can use (keep: true) in key, like:

import dinoql from 'dinoql'

//keeping user key
const user = dinoql(data)`
  requests {
    user(keep: true) {
       name {
         name: text
       },
       description {
         description: text
       }
    }
  }
`
//{ user: { name: 'Dinoql', description: 'I am dinoql.'} }

Resolvers

Resolvers provide the instructions for turning a dinoQL operation into data.

Order by

import dinoql from 'dinoql'

const users = dinoql(data)`
  requests {
    users(orderBy: age) {
      name,
      age
    }
  }
`

console.log(users) 

//{ users: [{ name: 'Kant Jonas', age: 35 }, { name: 'Victor Igor', age: 40 }] }

Merge

You can merge array or objects.

Array
import dinoql from 'dinoql'
const data = {
  requests: {
    users: [{ id: 10, age: 10 }]
  }
}

const variables = { 
  user: { id: 15, age: 40 }
}

const users = dinoql(data, { variables })`
  requests {
    users(merge: $user) {
      age
    }
  }
`

console.log(users) 

//{ users: [{ age: 10 }, { age: 40 }] }
Object
import dinoql from 'dinoql'
const data = {
  requests: {
    user: { id: 10, name: 'Victor Igor' }
  }
}

const variables = { 
  user: { age: 40 }
}

const user = dinoql(data, { variables })`
  requests {
    user(merge: $user)
  }
`

console.log(user) 

//{ user: { id: 10, name: 'Victor Igor', age: 40 } }

Default value

You can add default value to keys not found or values (null/undefined).

import dinoql from 'dinoql'

const users = dinoql(data)`
  requests {
    notfound(defaultValue: "Hello")
  }
`

console.log(users) 

// {notfound: "Hello"}

Parse to Number

import dinoql from 'dinoql'

const users = dinoql(data)`
  requests {
    users {
      id(toNumber: 1)
    }
  }
`

console.log(users)  //{ users: [{ id: 100 }, { id: 200 }] }

Get object values

import dinoql from 'dinoql'

const data = {
  requests: {
    user: {
      name: 'vic',
      age: 10
    }
  }
}
const gql = dinoql(data)`
  requests {
    user(getObjectValues: true)
  }
`

console.log(gql) //['vic', 10]

Parse to array

import dinoql from 'dinoql'

const data = {
  requests: {
    fields: {
      field1: 'name',
      field2: 'age'
    }
  }
}

const users = dinoql(data)`
  requests {
    fields(toArray: true)
  }
`

console.log(users)  //[{ field1: 'name' }, { field2: 'age' }]

First

import dinoql from 'dinoql'

const users = dinoql(data)`
  requests {
    users(first: true) {
      name
    }
  }
`

console.log(users)  //{ users: { name: 'Victor Igor' } }

Last

import dinoql from 'dinoql'

const users = dinoql(data)`
  requests {
    users(last: true) {
      name
    }
  }
`

console.log(users)  //{ users: { name: 'Kant Jonas' } }

Get Prop

import dinoql from 'dinoql'

const newData = {
  requests: {
    users: { id: 10, name: 'Victor Fellype' },
    information: { 
      title: { text: 'my title' }, 
      description: { text: 'my description' } 
    }
  }
};

without getProp

const data = dinoql(newData)`
  requests {
    users {
      name
    }
    information {
      title {
        title: text
      }
      description {
        description: text
      }
    }
  }
`

with getProp

const data = dinoql(newData)`
  requests {
    users(getProp: name)
    information {
      title(getProp: text)
      description(getProp: text)
    }
  }
`

console.log(data) // { users: 'Victor Fellype', title: 'my title', description: 'my description' }

Get Path

import dinoql from 'dinoql'

const newData = {
  requests: {
    cms: {
      footer_data: {
        social_networks: [
          { name: 'facebook', url: 'facebook.com' },
          { name: 'instagram', url: 'instagram.com' }
        ]
      }
    }
  }
};

without getPath

const data = dinoql(newData)`
  requests {
    cms {
      footer_data {
        social_networks
      }
    }
  }
`

with getPath

const socialNetworks = dinoql(newData)`
  requests(getPath: "cms.footer_data.social_networks")
`

console.log(socialNetworks) 
/* 
  { 
    requests: [ 
      { name: 'facebook', url: 'facebook.com' }, 
      { name: 'instagram', url: 'instagram.com' }
    ]
  }
*/

Building your own resolver

You can create a function to change a value in query.

import dql, { addResolvers } from 'dinoql';

const incAge = (list, right) => {
  const valueToInc = Number(right);
  return list.map(item => ({ ...item, age: item.age + valueToInc }));
};

addResolvers(({ incAge }));

const value = dql(data)`
  requests {
    users(incAge: 2) {
      name,
      age
    }
  }
`;
// { users: [{ name: 'Victor Igor', age: 42 }, { name: 'Kant Jonas', age: 37 }] }

Custom options

Keep structure

import dinoql from 'dinoql'

const users = dinoql(data, { keep: true })`
  requests {
    users(id: "200") {
      name
    }
  }
`

console.log(users)
/*
{ 
 requests: { 
   users: [{ name: 'Kant Jonas' }] 
 }
} 
*/

Improve performance πŸ„

You can improve performance parsing in build time your queries.

How ?

  1. Create files .graphql or .gql and add your queries.

  2. Import your queries from .graphql|.gql

# your queries

query MyQuery {
  requests {
    users
  }
}
//your js
import dinoql from 'dinoql'
import { MyQuery } from './MyQueries';

const users = dinoql(data)(MyQuery)
  1. Setup your webpack - example

Fragments support πŸ’₯

You can share piece of query logic.

fragment queryOne on Query {
  users {
    name
  }
}

fragment queryTwo on Query {
  products
}

query Form {
  requests {
    ...queryOne,
    ...queryTwo,
    friends
  }
}
