    Generic Datom attribute interfaces of all arities.

    Generic Datom attribute interfaces of all arities.

    "Generic attributes" are special pre-defined attributes that can be combined with custom attributes in molecules to return meta data:

    // Get id of Ben entity with `e`
    Person.e.name.get.head === (benEntityId, "Ben")
    
    // When was Ben's age updated? Using `txInstant`
    Person(benEntityId).age.txInstant.get.head === (42, <April 4, 2019>) // (Date)
    
    // With a history db we can access the transaction number `t` and
    // assertion/retraction statusses with `op`
    Person(benEntityId).age.t.op.getHistory === List(
      (41, t1, true),  // age 41 asserted in transaction t1
      (41, t2, false), // age 41 retracted in transaction t2
      (42, t2, true)   // age 42 asserted in transaction t2
    )

    Available generic attributes:

    • 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)

  • package index

    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)
    )

    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.

    AVET Index.

    AVET Index.

    "The AVET index provides efficient access to particular combinations of attribute and value." (from Datomic documentation)

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

    // Create AVET Index molecule with 1 entity id argument
    AVET(":Person/age").e.v.t.get === List(
      (e1, 42, t2),
      (e2, 37, t5)

    AVET(":Person/age", 42, e1, t2).e.v.get === List( (e1, t2) )

    The AVET Index can be filtered by a range of values between from (inclusive) and until (exclusive) for an attribute:

    AVET.range(":Person/age", Some(14), Some(37)).v.e.t.get === List(
      (14, e4, t7) // 14 is included in value range
                   // 37 not included in value range
                   // 42 outside value range
    )
    
    // If `from` is None, the range starts from the beginning
    AVET.range(":Person/age", None, Some(40)).v.e.t.get === List(
      (14, e3, t7),
      (37, e2, t5),
    )
    
    // If `until` is None, the range goes to the end
    AVET.range(":Person/age", Some(20), None).v.e.t.get === List(
      (37, e2, t5),
      (42, e1, t2)
    )

    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)

    EAVT Index.

    "The EAVT index provides efficient access to everything about a given entity. Conceptually this is very similar to row access style in a SQL database, except that entities can possess arbitrary attributes rather then being limited to a predefined set of columns." (from Datomic documentation)

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