arangors lite

arangors_lite is a fork of arangors by fMeow.

arangors is an intuitive rust client for ArangoDB, inspired by pyArango.

arangors enables you to connect with ArangoDB server, access to database, execute AQL query, manage ArangoDB in an easy and intuitive way, both async and plain synchronous code with any HTTP ecosystem you love.

Philosophy of arangors

arangors is targeted at ergonomic, intuitive and OOP-like API for ArangoDB, both top level and low level API for users' choice.

Overall architecture of ArangoDB:

databases -> collections -> documents/edges

In fact, the design of arangors just mimic this architecture, with a slight difference that in the top level, there is a connection object on top of databases, containing a HTTP client with authentication information in HTTP headers.

Hierarchy of arangors:

connection -> databases -> collections -> documents/edges

Features

By now, the available features of arangors are:

• make connection to ArangoDB
• get list of databases and collections
• fetch database and collection info
• create and delete database or collections
• full featured AQL query
• support both async and sync

Glance

Use Async or sync code

```toml [dependencies]

This one is async

arangors = { version = "0.4" }

This one is synchronous

arangors = { version = "0.4", features = ["blocking"] } ```

Thanks to maybe_async, arangors can unify sync and async API and toggle with a feature gate. Arangors adopts async first policy.

By default reqwest uses OpenSSL. To use rustls you may disable default features and use the rustls feature:

```toml [dependencies]

This one uses openssl

arangors = { version = "0.4" }

This one rustls

arangors = { version = "0.4", features = ["rustls"], default-features = false } ```

Connection

There is three way to establish connections: - jwt - basic auth - no authentication

So are the arangors API.

Example:

• With authentication

```rust use arangors_lite::Connection;

// (Recommended) Handy functions let conn = Connection::establishjwt("http://localhost:8529", "username", "password") .await .unwrap(); let conn = Connection::establishbasic_auth("http://localhost:8529", "username", "password") .await .unwrap(); ```

• Without authentication, only use in evaluation setting

rust, ignore let conn = Connection::establish_without_auth("http://localhost:8529").await.unwrap();

Database && Collection

```rust use arangors_lite::Connection;

let db = conn.db("testdb").await.unwrap(); let collection = db.collection("testcollection").await.unwrap(); ```

AQL Query

All AQL query related functions are associated with database, as AQL query is performed at database level.

There are several way to execute AQL query, and can be categorized into two classes:

• batch query with cursor

  • aql_query_batch
  • aql_next_batch

• query to fetch all results

  • aql_str
  • aql_bind_vars
  • aql_query

This later ones provide a convenient high level API, whereas batch queries offer more control.

Typed or Not Typed

Note that results from ArangoDB server, e.x. fetched documents, can be strong typed given deserializable struct, or arbitrary JSON object with serde::Value.

```rust

[derive(Deserialize, Debug)]

struct User { pub username: String, pub password: String, }

// Typed let resp: Vec = db .aqlstr("FOR u IN testcollection RETURN u") .await .unwrap(); // Not typed: Arbitrary JSON objects let resp: Vec = db .aqlstr("FOR u IN testcollection RETURN u") .await .unwrap(); ```

Batch query

arangors offers a way to manually handle batch query.

Use aql_query_batch to get a cursor, and use aql_next_batch to fetch next batch and update cursor with the cursor.

```rust

let aql = AqlQuery::builder() .query("FOR u IN @@collection LIMIT 3 RETURN u") .bindvar("@collection", "testcollection") .batch_size(1) .count(true) .build();

// fetch the first cursor let mut cursor = db.aqlquerybatch(aql).await.unwrap(); // see metadata in cursor println!("count: {:?}", cursor.count); println!("cached: {}", cursor.cached); let mut results: Vec = Vec::new(); loop { if cursor.more { let id = cursor.id.unwrap().clone(); // save data results.extend(cursor.result.intoiter()); // update cursor cursor = db.aqlnextbatch(id.asstr()).await.unwrap(); } else { break; } } println!("{:?}", results); ```

Fetch All Results

There are three functions for AQL query that fetch all results from ArangoDB. These functions internally fetch batch results one after another to get all results.

The functions for fetching all results are listed as bellow:

aql_str

This function only accept a AQL query string.

Here is an example of strong typed query result with aql_str:

```rust

[derive(Deserialize, Debug)]

struct User { pub username: String, pub password: String, }

let result: Vec = db .aqlstr(r#"FOR i in testcollection FILTER i.username=="test2" return i"#) .await .unwrap(); ```

aql_bind_vars

This function can be used to start a AQL query with bind variables.

```rust use arangors_lite::{Connection, Document};

[derive(Serialize, Deserialize, Debug)]

struct User { pub username: String, pub password: String, }

let mut vars = HashMap::new(); let user = User { username: "test".tostring(), password: "testpwd".tostring(), }; vars.insert("user", serdejson::value::tovalue(&user).unwrap()); let result: Vec> = db .aqlbindvars(r#"FOR i in testcollection FILTER i==@user return i"#, vars) .await .unwrap(); ```

aql_query

This function offers all the options available to tweak a AQL query. Users have to construct a AqlQuery object first. And AqlQuery offer all the options needed to tweak AQL query. You can set batch size, add bind vars, limit memory, and all others options available.

```rust use arangorslite::{AqlQuery, Connection, Cursor, Database}; use serdejson::value::Value;

let aql = AqlQuery::builder() .query("FOR u IN @@collection LIMIT 3 RETURN u") .bindvar("@collection", "testcollection") .batch_size(1) .count(true) .build();

let resp: Vec = db.aql_query(aql).await.unwrap(); println!("{:?}", resp); ```
