A js pattern matcher based on bloom filters, inspired by patrun. But different: 10x faster, and with results returned in insertion order.
To install bloomrun, simply use npm:
npm install bloomrun --save
The example below can be found here and ran using node example.js. It
demonstrates how to use bloomrun for pattern matching with or without a payload.
'use strict'
var bloomrun = require('bloomrun')()
bloomrun.add({say: 'hello', msg: 'Hello World!'})
bloomrun.add({say: 'goodbye'}, function () {
console.log('Goodbye World!')
})
var hello = bloomrun.lookup({say: 'hello'})
console.log(hello.msg)
var goodbye = bloomrun.lookup({say: 'goodbye'})
goodbye()Creates a new instance of Bloomrun.
Adds a pattern to the Bloomrun instance. You can also provide an alternative payload to return instead of the pattern itself. This allows pattern based retrieval of objects. If no payload is provided the pattern itself will be returned.
Removes a pattern from the Bloomrun instance. Filters are rebuilt after each removal which may mean the same pattern is matched by another filter. In cases where two patterns differ only by payload, the supplied payload can be used to determine the correct match. If no payload is supplied any matched pattern will be removed regardless of it's own payload.
Looks up the first entry that matches the given obj. A match happens when all properties of the added pattern matches with the one in the passed obj. If a payload was provided it will be returned instead of the pattern.
Options:
patterns: true, if you want to retrieve only patterns, not payloads
Returns an iterator, which is an object with a next method. next
will return the next pattern that matches the object or null if there
are no more.
If obj is null, all patterns/payload will be returned.
Options:
patterns: true, if you want to retrieve only patterns, not payloads
Returns all patterns that matches the object. If a payload was provided
this will be returned instead of the pattern.
If obj is null, all patterns/payload will be returned.
Options:
patterns: true, if you want to retrieve only patterns, not payloads
This library is heavily inspired by Richard Rodger's patrun and seneca. Also, It would not be possible without bloomfilter.
