Querying Models
Queries are expressions that are used in a variety of places; selecting & filtering models, defining edge types & assertions.
Expressions used in the global scope return tables. For example, the following commands will display different views of the User
table
> User
> User[name == "Ben"]
> User{ id, name }
Expressions used within the scope of a table generate a column. For example, a filter expression, an assertion expression, or computed column expression.
> User{ full_name: first_name + ' ' + last_name }
Expressions
Expressions support the basic operations:
+ - * / %
math== != >= > < <=
comparison! & | ^
logical (not, and, or, xor)()
parenthesis
Selecting
Use the curly brackets after a table expression to create a new view of that type, showing only the listed columns, able to define new computed columns, or define additional assertions for that view.
> User {
id,
full_name: first_name + ' ' + last_name
assert id > 0
}
Filtering
Use square brackets after a table expression with a list of expressions that all must be true in order to be included in the resulting table.
> User[
name == "Ben"
country == "US"
]
