    Datomic Index APIs in Molecule.

    Datomic Index APIs in Molecule.

    Datomic maintains four indexes that contain ordered sets of datoms. Each of these indexes is named based on the sort order used:

    • EAVT - Datoms sorted by Entity-Attribute-Value-Transaction
    • AVET - Datoms sorted by Attribute-Value-Entity-Transaction
    • AEVT - Datoms sorted by Attribute-Entity-Value-Transaction
    • VAET - "Reverse index" for reverse lookup of ref types

    Create an Index molecule by instantiating an Index object with one or more arguments in the order of the Index's elements. Datoms are returned as tuples of data depending of which generic attributes you add to the Index molecule:

    // Create EAVT Index molecule with 1 entity id argument
    EAVT(e1).e.a.v.t.get === List(
      (e1, ":Person/name", "Ben", t1),
      (e1, ":Person/age", 42, t2),
      (e1, ":Golf/score", 5.7, t2)
    )
    
    // Maybe we are only interested in the attribute/value pairs:
    EAVT(e1).a.v.get === List(
      (":Person/name", "Ben"),
      (":Person/age", 42),
      (":Golf/score", 5.7)
    )
    
    // Two arguments to narrow the search
    EAVT(e1, ":Person/age").a.v.get === List(
      (":Person/age", 42)
    )

    Note

    The Molecule Index API's don't allow returning the whole Index/the whole database. So omitting arguments constructing the Index object (like EAVT.e.a.v.t.get) will throw an exception.
    Please use Datomics API if you need to return the whole database Index:
    conn.db.datoms(datomic.Database.EAVT)

trait VAET extends GenericNs

VAET reverse Index.

"The VAET index contains all and only datoms whose attribute has a :db/valueType of :db.type/ref. This is also known as the reverse index, since it allows efficient navigation of relationships in reverse." (from Datomic documentation)

Access the VAET Index in Molecule by instantiating a VAET object with one or more arguments and then add generic attributes:

// Say we have 3 entities pointing to one entity:
Release.e.name.Artists.e.name.get === List(
  (r1, "Abbey Road", a1, "The Beatles"),
  (r2, "Magical Mystery Tour", a1, "The Beatles"),
  (r3, "Let it be", a1, "The Beatles"),
)

// .. then we can get the reverse relationships with the VAET Index:
VAET(a1).v.a.e.get === List(
  (a1, ":Release/artists", r1),
  (a1, ":Release/artists", r2),
  (a1, ":Release/artists", r3),
)

// Narrow search with multiple arguments
VAET(a1, ":Release/artist").e.get === List(r1, r2, r3)
VAET(a1, ":Release/artist", r2).e.get === List(r2)
VAET(a1, ":Release/artist", r2, t7).e.get === List(r2)

Index attributes available:

  • e - Entity id (Long)
  • a - Full attribute name like ":Person/name" (String)
  • v - Value of Datoms (Any)
  • t - Transaction pointer (Long/Int)
  • tx - Transaction entity id (Long)
  • txInstant - Transaction wall clock time (java.util.Date)
  • op - Operation status: assertion (true) / retraction (false)

Note

The Molecule Index API's don't allow returning the whole Index/the whole database. So omitting arguments constructing the Index object (like VAET.v.a.e.t.get) will throw an exception.
Please use Datomics API if you need to return the whole database Index:
conn.db.datoms(datomic.Database.VAET)
