Oxigraph for JavaScript
=======================

[![npm](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/oxigraph)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/oxigraph)
[![actions status](https://github.com/oxigraph/oxigraph/workflows/build/badge.svg)](https://github.com/oxigraph/oxigraph/actions)
[![Gitter](https://badges.gitter.im/oxigraph/community.svg)](https://gitter.im/oxigraph/community?utm_source=badge&utm_medium=badge&utm_campaign=pr-badge)

This package provides a JavaScript API on top of Oxigraph compiled with WebAssembly.

Oxigraph is a graph database written in Rust implementing the [SPARQL](https://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-overview/) standard.

Oxigraph or JavaScript is a work in progress and currently offers a simple in-memory store with [SPARQL 1.1 Query](https://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-query/) capabilities.

The store is also able to load RDF serialized in [Turtle](https://www.w3.org/TR/turtle/), [TriG](https://www.w3.org/TR/trig/), [N-Triples](https://www.w3.org/TR/n-triples/), [N-Quads](https://www.w3.org/TR/n-quads/) and [RDF/XML](https://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-syntax-grammar/).


It is distributed using a [a NPM package](https://www.npmjs.com/package/oxigraph) that should work with nodeJS.

```bash
npm install oxigraph
```

```js
const oxigraph = require('oxigraph');
```

## Example

Insert the triple `<http://example/> <http://schema.org/name> "example"` and log the name of `<http://example/>` in SPARQL:
```js
const { MemoryStore } = require('oxigraph');
const store = new MemoryStore();
const dataFactory = store.dataFactory;
const ex = dataFactory.namedNode("http://example/");
const schemaName = dataFactory.namedNode("http://schema.org/name");
store.add(dataFactory.triple(ex, schemaName, dataFactory.literal("example")));
for (binding of store.query("SELECT ?name WHERE { <http://example/> <http://schema.org/name> ?name }")) {
    console.log(binding.get("name").value);
}
```

## API

Oxigraph currently provides a simple JS API.
It is centered around the `MemoryStore` class.

The `NamedNode`, `BlankNode`, `Literal`, `DefaultGraph`, `Quad` and `DataFactory` types
are following the [RDF/JS datamodel specification](https://rdf.js.org/data-model-spec/).

To import `MemoryStore` using Node:
```js
const { MemoryStore } = require('oxigraph');
```

### `MemoryStore`

#### `MemoryStore(optional sequence<Quad>? quads)` (constructor)
```js
const store = new MemoryStore();
```

If provided, the `MemoryStore` will be initialized with a sequence of quads.

#### `MemoryStore.dataFactory`
Returns a `DataFactory` following [RDF/JS datamodel specification](https://rdf.js.org/data-model-spec/).

Example:
```js
const store = new MemoryStore();
const ex = store.dataFactory.namedNode("http://example.com");
const blank = store.dataFactory.blankNode();
const foo = store.dataFactory.literal("foo");
const quad = store.dataFactory.quad(blank, ex, foo);
```

#### `MemoryStore.prototype.add(Quad quad)`
Inserts a quad in the store.

Example:
```js
store.add(quad);
```

#### `MemoryStore.prototype.delete(Quad quad)`
Removes a quad from the store.

Example:
```js
store.delete(quad);
```

#### `MemoryStore.prototype.has(Quad quad)`
Returns a boolean stating if the store contains the quad.

Example:
```js
store.has(quad);
```

#### `MemoryStore.prototype.match(optional Term? subject, optional Term? predicate, optional Term? object, optional Term? graph)`
Returns an array with all the quads matching a given quad pattern.

Example to get all quads in the default graph with `ex` for subject:
```js
store.match(ex, null, null, store.dataFactory.defaultGraph());
```

Example to get all quads:
```js
store.match();
```

#### `MemoryStore.prototype.query(String query)`
Executes a [SPARQL 1.1 Query](https://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-query/).
For `SELECT` queries the return type is an array of `Map` which keys are the bound variables and values are the values the result is bound to.
For `CONSTRUCT` and `ÐESCRIBE` queries the return type is an array of `Quad`.
For `ASK` queries the return type is a boolean.

Example of SELECT query:
```js
for (binding of store.query("SELECT DISTINCT ?s WHERE { ?s ?p ?o }")) {
    console.log(binding.get("s").value);
}
```

Example of CONSTRUCT query:
```js
const filteredStore = new MemoryStore(store.query("CONSTRUCT { <http:/example.com/> ?p ?o } WHERE { <http:/example.com/> ?p ?o }"));
```

Example of ASK query:
```js
if (store.query("ASK { ?s ?s ?s }")) {
    console.log("there is a triple with same subject, predicate and object");
}
```

### `MemoryStore.prototype.load(String data, String mimeType, NamedNode|String? baseIRI, NamedNode|BlankNode|DefaultGraph? toNamedGraph)`

Loads serialized RDF triples or quad into the store.
The method arguments are:
1. `data`: the serialized RDF triples or quads.
2. `mimeType`: the MIME type of the serialization. See below for the supported mime types.
3. `baseIRI`: the base IRI to use to resolve the relative IRIs in the serialization.
4. `toNamedGraph`: for triple serialization formats, the name of the named graph the triple should be loaded to.

The available formats are:
* [Turtle](https://www.w3.org/TR/turtle/): `text/turtle`
* [TriG](https://www.w3.org/TR/trig/): `application/trig`
* [N-Triples](https://www.w3.org/TR/n-triples/): `application/n-triples`
* [N-Quads](https://www.w3.org/TR/n-quads/): `application/n-quads`
* [RDF/XML](https://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-syntax-grammar/): `application/rdf+xml`

Example of loading a Turtle file into the named graph `<http://example.com/graph>` with the base IRI `http://example.com`:
```js
store.load("<http://example.com> <http://example.com> <> .", "text/turtle", "http://example.com", store.dataFactory.namedNode("http://example.com/graph"));
```


## How to contribute

The Oxigraph bindings are written in Rust using [the Rust WASM toolkit](https://rustwasm.github.io/docs.html).

The [The Rust Wasm Book](https://rustwasm.github.io/docs/book/) is a great tutorial to get started.

To run the tests of the JS bindings written in JS run `npm test`.

To publish a new version on npm run:
```bash
npm run build && npm run release
```
