LevelGraph
===========

![Logo](./logo.png)

__LevelGraph__ is a Graph Database. Unlike many other graph database,
__LevelGraph__ is built on the uber-fast key-value store
[LevelDB](http://code.google.com/p/leveldb/) through the powerful
[LevelUp](https://github.com/rvagg/node-levelup) library.

[![Build
Status](https://travis-ci.org/mcollina/node-levelgraph.png)](https://travis-ci.org/mcollina/node-levelgraph)

## Install

```
npm install leveldb levelgraph --save
```

## Usage

Initializing a database is very easy:
```
var levelup = require("levelup");
var levelgraph = require("../");
var db = levelgraph(levelup(dir));
```

### Get and Put

Inserting a triple in the database is extremey easy:
```
var triple = { subject: "a", predicate: "b", object: "c" };
db.put(triple, function(err) {
// do something after the triple is inserted
});
```

Retrieving it through pattern-matching is extremely easy:
```
db.get({ subject: "a" }, function(err, list) {
expect(list).to.eql([triple]);
done();
});
```

### Multiple Puts

__LevelGraph__ also supports adding putting multiple triples:
```
var triple1 = { subject: "a1", predicate: "b", object: "c" };
var triple2 = { subject: "a2", predicate: "b", object: "d" };
db.put([triple1, triple2], function(err) {
// do something after the triples are inserted
});
```

### Joins

__LevelGraph__ also supports joins:
```
db.put([{
subject: "matteo",
predicate: "friend",
object: "daniele"
}, {
subject: "daniele",
predicate: "friend",
object: "matteo"
}, {
subject: "daniele",
predicate: "friend",
object: "marco"
}, {
subject: "lucio",
predicate: "friend",
object: "matteo"
}, {
subject: "lucio",
predicate: "friend",
object: "marco"
}, {
subject: "marco",
predicate: "friend",
object: "davide"
}], function () {
var stream = db.joinStream([{
subject: "matteo",
predicate: "friend",
object: db.v("x")
}, {
subject: db.v("x"),
predicate: "friend",
object: db.v("y")
}, {
subject: db.v("y"),
predicate: "friend",
object: "davide"
}]);
stream.on("data", function(data) {
// this will print "{ x: 'daniele', y: 'marco' }"
console.log(data);
});
});
```

### Deleting

Deleting is easy too:
```
var triple = { subject: "a", predicate: "b", object: "c" };
db.del(triple, function(err) {
// do something after the triple is deleted
});
```

## TODO

There are plenty of things that this library is missing.
If you feel you want a feature added, just do it and __submit a
pull-request__.

Here are some ideas:
* [ ] Return the matching triples in the JOIN results.
* [ ] Support for Query Planning in JOIN.
* [ ] Design and implement a nicer query interface using promises.
* [ ] Add more database operators.

## Contributing to LevelGraph

* Check out the latest master to make sure the feature hasn't been
implemented or the bug hasn't been fixed yet
* Check out the issue tracker to make sure someone already hasn't
requested it and/or contributed it
* Fork the project
* Start a feature/bugfix branch
* Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution
* Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it
in a future version unintentionally.
* Please try not to mess with the Makefile and package.json. If you
want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is
fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around
it.
