defmodule ExDgraph do
@moduledoc """
ExDgraph is a gRPC based client for the Dgraph database. It uses the DBConnection behaviour to support transactions and connection pooling via Poolboy. Works with Dgraph v1.0.16 (latest).
## Installation
Add the package `ex_dgraph` to your list of dependencies in `mix.exs`:
```elixir
def deps do
[
{:ex_dgraph, "~> 0.2.0-beta.3"}
]
end
```
And add the application to your list of applications in `mix.exs`:
```elixir
def application do
[
applications: [
:ex_dgraph
]
]
end
```
Then, update your dependencies:
```
$ mix deps.get
```
### Usage with Phoenix
Add the configuration to your respective configuration file:
```elixir
config :ex_dgraph, ExDgraph,
hostname: 'localhost',
port: 9080,
pool_size: 5,
max_overflow: 1,
keepalive: :infinity
```
The available configuration options are:
```elixir
config :ex_dgraph, ExDgraph,
hostname: 'localhost',
port: 9080,
pool_size: 5,
max_overflow: 1
timeout: 15_000, # This value is used for the DBConnection timeout and the GRPC client deadline
pool: DBConnection.Poolboy,
ssl: false,
tls_client_auth: false,
certfile: nil,
keyfile: nil,
cacertfile: nil,
retry_linear_backoff: {delay: 150, factor: 2, tries: 3},
keepalive: infinity
```
And finally don't forget to add ExDgraph to the supervisor tree of your app:
```elixir
def start(_type, _args) do
import Supervisor.Spec
# Define workers and child supervisors to be supervised
children = [
# Start the endpoint when the application starts
{ExDgraph, Application.get_env(:ex_dgraph, ExDgraph)},
supervisor(MyApp.Endpoint, [])
]
# See https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/Supervisor.html
# for other strategies and supported options
opts = [strategy: :one_for_one, name: MyApp.Supervisor]
Supervisor.start_link(children, opts)
end
```
## Usage
I recommend installing and running Dgraph locally with Docker. You find information on how to do that [here](https://docs.dgraph.io/get-started/#from-docker-image). To use this simple example you first have to [import the example data](https://docs.dgraph.io/get-started/#step-3-run-queries). You can just open [http://localhost:8000](http://localhost:8000) in your browser when Dgraph is running to execute and visualize queries using Ratel.
At the moment simple queries, mutations and operations are supported. And to make things easier ExDgraph returns an Elixir map and you can also just insert a map. This allows you to insert a complex dataset with vertices and edges in one call. To make things even better: If there is a `uid` present anywhere in the map the record isn't inserted but updated. This way you can update and add records in one go.
Also check the tests for more examples.
### Example for a query
```elixir
query = \"\"\"
{
starwars(func: anyofterms(name, "VI"))
{
uid
name
release_date
starring
{
name
}
}
}
\"\"\"
conn = ExDgraph.conn()
{:ok, msg} = ExDgraph.query(conn, query)
```
### Examples for a mutation
```elixir
starwars_schema = "id: string @index(exact).
name: string @index(exact, term) @count .
age: int @index(int) .
friend: uid @count .
dob: dateTime ."
starwars_creation_mutation = \"\"\"

\"\"\"
conn = ExDgraph.conn()
{:ok, operation_msg} = ExDgraph.operation(conn, %{schema: starwars_schema})
{:ok, mutation_msg} = ExDgraph.mutation(conn, starwars_creation_mutation)
```
### Example for inserting a map
```elixir
map = %{
name: "Alice",
friends: %{
name: "Betty"
}
}
conn = ExDgraph.conn()
ExDgraph.set_map(conn, map)
{:ok, mutation_msg} = ExDgraph.set_map(conn, map)
```
`ExDgraph.set_map/2` returns the data you have passed it but populates every node in your map with the respective uids returned from Dgraph. For example:
```elixir
%{
context: %ExDgraph.Api.TxnContext{
aborted: false,
commit_ts: 1703,
keys: [],
lin_read: %ExDgraph.Api.LinRead{ids: %{1 => 1508}},
start_ts: 1702
},
result: %{
friends: [%{name: "Betty", uid: "0xd82"}],
name: "Alice",
uid: "0xd81"
},
uids: %{
"763d617a-af34-4ff9-9863-e072bf85146d" => "0xd82",
"e94713a5-54a7-4e36-8ab8-0d3019409892" => "0xd81"
}
}
```
You can also use `ExDgraph.set_map/2` to update an existing node or add new edges by passing a `uid` in your map:
```elixir
user = %{name: "bob", occupation: "dev"}
{:ok, res} = ExDgraph.set_map(conn, user)
other_mutation = %{
uid: res.result.uid,
friends: [%{name: "Paul", occupation: "diver"}, %{name: "Lisa", occupation: "consultant"}]
}
{:ok, res2} = ExDgraph.set_map(conn, other_mutation)
# Content of res2. As you can see the original user has been updated.
%{
context: %ExDgraph.Api.TxnContext{
aborted: false,
commit_ts: 3271,
keys: [],
lin_read: %ExDgraph.Api.LinRead{ids: %{1 => 2905}},
start_ts: 3270
},
result: %{
friends: [
%{name: "Paul", occupation: "diver", uid: "0x19c6"},
%{occupation: "consultant", name: "Lisa", uid: "0x19c7"}
],
uid: "0x19c5"
},
uids: %{
"7086397d-aa39-4257-a70e-3ad4e63abc14" => "0x19c7",
"a66d77fa-afc0-478f-b838-ea1a97a20c11" => "0x19c6"
}
}
```
### Examples for an operation
```elixir
# Connect
conn = ExDgraph.conn()
# Drop all entries from the database
ExDgraph.operation(conn, %{drop_all: true})
# Create schema
@testing_schema "id: string @index(exact).
name: string @index(exact, term) @count .
age: int @index(int) .
friend: uid @count .
dob: dateTime ."
# Run operation
ExDgraph.operation(conn, %{schema: @testing_schema})
```
### Example for a raw query
This is an example on how to use the Protobuf API with GRPC directly and how to extend the library.
```elixir
# Connect to Server
{:ok, channel} = GRPC.Stub.connect("#localhost:9080")
# Define query (for now just a string)
query = \"\"\"
{
starwars(func: anyofterms(name, "VI"))
{
uid
name
release_date
starring
{
name
}
}
}
\"\"\"
# Build request
request = ExDgraph.Api.Request.new(query: query)
# Send request to server
{:ok, msg} = channel |> ExDgraph.Api.Dgraph.Stub.query(request)
# Parse result
json = Poison.decode!(msg.json)
```
## Using SSL
If you want to connect to Dgraph using SSL you have to set the `:ssl` config to `true` and provide a certificate:
```elixir
config :ex_dgraph, ExDgraph,
# default port considered to be: 9080
hostname: 'localhost',
pool_size: 5,
max_overflow: 1,
ssl: true,
cacertfile: '/path/to/MyRootCA.pem'
```
You also have to provide the respective certificates and key to the server and start it with the following options:
```
command: dgraph server --my=server:7080 --memory_mb=2048 --zero=zero:5080 --tls_on --tls_ca_certs=/path/to/cert/in/container/MyRootCA.pem --tls_cert=/path/to/cert/in/container/MyServer1.pem --tls_cert_key=/path/to/cert/in/container/MyServer1.key
```
You can read more about how to create self-signed certificates in the [Wiki](https://github.com/ospaarmann/exdgraph/wiki).
## Using TLS client authentication
If you want to connect to Dgraph and authenticate the client via TLS you have to set the `:tls_client_auth` config to `true` and provide certificates and key:
```elixir
config :ex_dgraph, ExDgraph,
# default port considered to be: 9080
hostname: 'localhost',
pool_size: 5,
max_overflow: 1,
ssl: true,
cacertfile: '/path/to/MyRootCA.pem',
certfile: '/path/to/MyClient1.pem',
keyfile: '/path/to/MyClient1.key',
```
You also have to provide the respective certificates and key to the server and start it with the following options:
```
command: dgraph server --my=server:7080 --memory_mb=2048 --zero=zero:5080 --tls_on --tls_ca_certs=/path/to/cert/in/container/MyRootCA.pem --tls_cert=/path/to/cert/in/container/MyServer1.pem --tls_cert_key=/path/to/cert/in/container/MyServer1.key --tls_client_auth=REQUIREANDVERIFY
```
You can read more about how to create self-signed certificates in the [Wiki](https://github.com/ospaarmann/exdgraph/wiki).

Start the connection process and connect to Dgraph
## Options:
- `:hostname` - Server hostname (default: DGRAPH_HOST env variable, then localhost);
- `:port` - Server port (default: DGRAPH_PORT env variable, then 9080);
- `:username` - Username;
- `:password` - User password;
- `:pool_size` - maximum pool size;
- `:max_overflow` - maximum number of workers created if pool is empty
- `:timeout` - Connect timeout in milliseconds (default: `#{@timeout}`) for DBConnection and the GRPC client deadline.
- `:pool` - The connection pool. Defaults to `DbConnection.Poolboy`.
- `:ssl` - If to use ssl for the connection (please see configuration example).
If you set this option, you also have to set `cacertfile` to the correct path.
- `:tls_client_auth` - If to use TLS client authentication for the connection
(please see configuration example). If you set this option, you also have to set
`certfile`, `keyfile` and `cacertfile` to the correct path.
- `:certfile` - Path to your client certificate.
- `:keyfile` - Path to your client key.
- `:cacertfile` - Path to your CA certificate you used to sign the certificate and key.
Check the Wiki on how to set this up.
- `:retry_linear_backoff` - Retry options. Defaults to `{delay: 150, factor: 2, tries: 3}`
- `:keepalive` - Time in ms between pings to the server. Default value is `:infinity` which disables pings completely. Dgraph drops the connection on pings atm so it is disabled for now.

This function allow you to convert an struct type into a mutation (json based) type in dgraph.
It also allows you to enforce the schema in database (adding a "class name" info before every predicate, this class name is the single name given to the elixir module struct) by activating the `enforce_struct_schema` in the config files.
The function sends the mutation to the server and returns `{:ok, result}` or `{:error, error}` otherwise.
