falkordb-rs

FalkorDB Rust client

Usage

Installation

Just add it to your Cargo.toml, like so:

falkordb = { version = "0.1.10" }

Run FalkorDB instance

Docker:

docker run --rm -p 6379:6379 falkordb/falkordb

Code Example

use falkordb::{FalkorClientBuilder, FalkorConnectionInfo};

// Connect to FalkorDB
let connection_info: FalkorConnectionInfo = "falkor://127.0.0.1:6379".try_into()
            .expect("Invalid connection info");

let client = FalkorClientBuilder::new()
           .with_connection_info(connection_info)
           .build()
           .expect("Failed to build client");

// Select the social graph
let mut graph = client.select_graph("social");

// Create 100 nodes and return a handful
let mut nodes = graph.query("UNWIND range(0, 100) AS i CREATE (n { v:1 }) RETURN n LIMIT 10")
            .with_timeout(5000)
            .execute()
            .expect("Failed executing query");

// Can also be collected, like any other iterator
while let Some(node) = nodes.data.next() {
   println ! ("{:?}", node);
}

Features

`tokio` support

This client supports nonblocking API using the tokio runtime. It can be enabled like so:

falkordb = { version = "0.1.10", features = ["tokio"] }

Currently, this API requires running within a multi_threaded tokio scheduler, and does not support the current_thread one, but this will probably be supported in the future.

The API uses an almost identical API, but the various functions need to be awaited:

use falkordb::{FalkorClientBuilder, FalkorConnectionInfo};

// Connect to FalkorDB
let connection_info: FalkorConnectionInfo = "falkor://127.0.0.1:6379".try_into()
            .expect("Invalid connection info");

let client = FalkorClientBuilder::new_async()
            .with_connection_info(connection_info)
            .build()
            .await
            .expect("Failed to build client");

// Select the social graph
let mut graph = client.select_graph("social");

// Create 100 nodes and return a handful
let mut nodes = graph.query("UNWIND range(0, 100) AS i CREATE (n { v:1 }) RETURN n LIMIT 10")
            .with_timeout(5000)
            .execute()
            .await
            .expect("Failed executing query");

// Graph operations are asynchronous, but parsing is still concurrent:
while let Some(node) = nodes.data.next() {
     println ! ("{:?}", node);
}

Note that thread safety is still up to the user to ensure, I.e. an AsyncGraph cannot simply be sent to a task spawned by tokio and expected to be used later, it must be wrapped in an Arc<Mutex<_>> or something similar.

SSL/TLS Support

This client is currently built upon the redis crate, and therefore supports TLS using its implementation, which uses either rustls or native_tls. This is not enabled by default, and the user just opt-in by enabling the respective features: "rustls"/"native-tls" ( when using tokio: "tokio-rustls"/"tokio-native-tls").

For Rustls:

falkordb = { version = "0.1.10", features = ["rustls"] }

falkordb = { version = "0.1.10", features = ["tokio-rustls"] }

For Native TLS:

falkordb = { version = "0.1.10", features = ["native-tls"] }

falkordb = { version = "0.1.10", features = ["tokio-native-tls"] }

Tracing

This crate fully supports instrumentation using the tracing crate, to use it, simply, enable the tracing feature:

falkordb = { version = "0.1.10", features = ["tracing"] }

Note that different functions use different filtration levels, to avoid spamming your tests, be sure to enable the correct level as you desire it.

Embedded FalkorDB Server

This client supports running an embedded FalkorDB server, which is useful for:

Testing without external dependencies
Embedded applications
Quick prototyping and development

To use the embedded feature, enable it in your Cargo.toml:

falkordb = { version = "0.1.10", features = ["embedded"] }

Requirements

redis-server must be installed and available in PATH (or you can specify a custom path)
falkordb.so module must be installed (or you can specify a custom path)

You can install these from:

Redis: https://github.com/redis/redis
FalkorDB: https://github.com/falkordb/falkordb

Usage Example

use falkordb::{EmbeddedConfig, FalkorClientBuilder, FalkorConnectionInfo};

// Create an embedded configuration with defaults
let embedded_config = EmbeddedConfig::default();

// Or customize the configuration:
// let embedded_config = EmbeddedConfig {
//     redis_server_path: Some(PathBuf::from("/path/to/redis-server")),
//     falkordb_module_path: Some(PathBuf::from("/path/to/falkordb.so")),
//     db_dir: Some(PathBuf::from("/tmp/my_falkordb")),
//     ..Default::default()
// };

// Build a client with embedded FalkorDB
let client = FalkorClientBuilder::new()
    .with_connection_info(FalkorConnectionInfo::Embedded(embedded_config))
    .build()
    .expect("Failed to build client");

// Use the client normally
let mut graph = client.select_graph("social");
graph.query("CREATE (:Person {name: 'Alice', age: 30})").execute().expect("Failed to execute query");

// The embedded server will be automatically shut down when the client is dropped

The embedded server:

Spawns a redis-server process with the FalkorDB module loaded
Uses Unix socket for communication (no network port)
Automatically cleans up when the client is dropped
Can be configured with custom paths, database directory, and socket location

Testing

Running Tests

This project includes both unit tests and integration tests.

Unit Tests

Unit tests don't require a running FalkorDB instance:

# Run all unit tests
cargo test --lib

# Run unit tests with embedded feature
cargo test --lib --features embedded

Integration Tests

Integration tests require a running FalkorDB instance. The easiest way to run them is using Docker:

# Using the provided script (requires Docker)
./run_integration_tests.sh

# Or manually start FalkorDB and run tests
docker run -d --name falkordb-test -p 6379:6379 falkordb/falkordb:latest
cargo test --test integration_tests

# With async support
cargo test --test integration_tests --features tokio

# Clean up
docker stop falkordb-test && docker rm falkordb-test

CI Integration Tests

Integration tests are automatically run in GitHub Actions using Docker services. See .github/workflows/integration-tests.yml for the CI configuration.
