arangodb object mapper

A simple object mapper (based on Jackson) to store java objects into a ArangoDB database.

Installation & Testing

Please check the ArangoDB Documentation for installation and compilation instructions.

Start ArangoDB on localhost port 8529.

The arangodb object mapper is built with mvn clean install

First Steps

Create a new class

public class Point extends ArangoDbDocument {
    private Integer x;
    private Integer y;
    public Point() {
    }
    public Point(Integer x, Integer y) {
        this.x = x;
        this.y = y;
    }    
    public Integer getX() {
        return x;
    }
    public void setX(Integer x) {
        this.x = x;
    }
    public Integer getY() {
        return y;
    }
    public void setY(Integer y) {
        this.y = y;
    }
}

Create a new repository class

class PointRepository extends ArangoDbRepository<Point> {        
    public PointRepository(Database database) {
        super(database, Point.class);
    }

Create database connection and repository

ArangoDbHttpClient client = new ArangoDbHttpClient.Builder().host("localhost")
                                                            .port(8529)
                                                            .build();       

/* use "_system" database. can use any other database if required */
Database database = new Database(client, "_system");

PointRepository repo = new PointRepository(database);

Save a object

Point p = new Point(1, 2);        
try {
    repo.create(p);
} catch (ArangoDb4JException e) {
    ...
}

Update the object

p.setX(5);        
try {
    repo.update(p);
} catch (ArangoDb4JException e) {
    ...
}

Get all Objects

Cursor<Point> cursor = null;
try {
    cursor = repo.getAll();
} catch (ArangoDb4JException e) {
    ...
}
while (cursor.hasNext()) {
    Point p = cursor.next();
    ...
}

Sort by key

Cursor<Point> cursor = repo.getQuery().sort("x", PropertySort.Direction.DESCENDING).execute();
while (cursor.hasNext()) {
	Point p = cursor.next();
	...
}

Windowing

Cursor<Point> cursor = repo.getQuery().limit(11,10).sort("x", PropertySort.Direction.DESCENDING).execute();
while (cursor.hasNext()) {
	Point p = cursor.next();
	...
}

Creating databases and collections

ArangoDbHttpClient client = new ArangoDbHttpClient.Builder().host("localhost")
                                                            .port(8529)
                                                            .build();      
Database db = Database.createDatabase(client, "MyDatabase"); 
Collection coll = db.createCollection("MyCollection");
