Crate redis_graph[][src]

redis_graph provides a trait with a small number of extension functions for the redis crate to allow working with redis graph data types that can be installed as a redis module. Redis graph operations are mostly using two top level Redis commands (one for read/write operations and one for read-only operations). In addition to those there are some more maintenance oriented commands for perfomance, configuration and
clean-up which starting from v0.4.0 are also supported. The Graph commands are available in synchronous and asynchronous versions.

The crate is called redis-graph and you can depend on it via cargo. You will also need redis in your dependencies. This version was tested against redis 0.20.0 but should run with versions higher than that.

[dependencies]
redis = "0.20.0"
redis-graph = "0.4.1"

Or via git:

[dependencies.redis-graph]
git = "https://github.com/tompro/redis_graph.git"
branch = "main"

With async feature inherited from the redis crate (either: 'async-std-comp' or 'tokio-comp):

[dependencies]
redis = "0.20.0"
redis-graph = { version = "0.4.1", features = ['tokio-comp'] }

Synchronous usage

To enable the redis graph commands you simply load the trait redis_graph::GraphCommands into scope. The redis graph commands will then be available on your redis connection. To also have access to the value extractor traits simply import the whole crate redis_graph::*.

use redis::Commands;
use redis_graph::*;

let client = redis::Client::open("redis://127.0.0.1/")?;
let mut con = client.get_connection()?;

let _:GraphResultSet = con.graph_query(
    "my_graph",
    "CREATE (:Rider {name:'Valentino Rossi'})-[:rides]->(:Team {name:'Yamaha'})"
)?;

let _:GraphResultSet = con.graph_ro_query(
    "my_graph",
    "MATCH (rider:Rider)-[:rides]->(:Team {name:'Yamaha'}) RETURN rider"
)?;

Asynchronous usage

To enable the redis graph async commands you simply load the redis_graph::AsyncGraphCommands into the scope. To also have access to the value extractor traits simply import the whole crate redis_graph::*.

use redis::AsyncCommands;
use redis_graph::*;

let client = redis::Client::open("redis://127.0.0.1/")?;
let mut con = client.get_async_connection().await?;

let _:GraphResultSet = con.graph_query(
    "my_graph",
    "CREATE (:Rider {name:'Valentino Rossi'})-[:rides]->(:Team {name:'Yamaha'})"
).await?;

let _:GraphResultSet = con.graph_ro_query(
    "my_graph",
    "MATCH (rider:Rider)-[:rides]->(:Team {name:'Yamaha'}) RETURN rider"
).await?;

Commands

The following examples work with the synchronous and asynchronous API. For simplicity all examples will use the synchronous API. To use them async simply run them within an async function and append the .await after the command call.

GRAPH.QUERY and GRAPH.RO_QUERY

The query command (and read-only alternative) is the only command required for all graph operations. It will produce a GraphResultSet that contains the results of the operation. As queries are very flexible a lot of different data stuctures can be contained in a GraphResultSet.

use redis::Commands;
use redis_graph::*;

let client = redis::Client::open("redis://127.0.0.1/")?;
let mut con = client.get_connection()?;

/// A create query returns metadata as a list of strings
let r:GraphResultSet = con.graph_query(
    "my_graph",
    "CREATE (:Rider {name:'Valentino Rossi'})-[:rides]->(:Team {name:'Yamaha'})"
)?;
assert!(!r.metadata.is_empty());


/// This read-only query will return nodes and scalars in the result
let riders = con.graph_ro_query(
    "my_graph",
    "MATCH (rider:Rider)-[:rides]->(team:Team)
       WHERE team.name = 'Yamaha'
       RETURN rider, team.name"
)?;


/// Data contains a vec of GraphResult with one entry per query match.
assert!(riders.data.len() > 0);


/// A GraphResult is indexed with the identifiers used in the RETURN
/// clause of the query. A result has some convenience functions to
/// extract GraphValues (Scalar|Node|Relation) into rust types.
let entry = riders.data.get(0).unwrap();
let rider:Option<&NodeValue> = entry.get_node("rider");
let team_name:Option<String> = entry.get_scalar("team.name");


/// Node and Relation values can contain properties for which there are
/// value extractors as well.
let rider_name:Option<String> = rider.unwrap().get_property_option("name");

GRAPH.PROFILE

Executes a query and produces an execution plan augmented with metrics for each operation's execution. Returns strings in a list format.

let profile:Vec<String> = con.graph_profile(
    "my_graph",
    "MATCH (rider:Rider)-[:rides]->(:Team {name:'Yamaha'}) RETURN rider"
)?;

GRAPH.DELETE

Completely removes the graph and all of its entities.

let res:String = con.graph_delete("my_graph")?;

GRAPH.EXPLAIN

Constructs a query execution plan but does not run it. Inspect this execution plan to better understand how your query will get executed.

let explanation:Vec<String> = con.graph_explain(
    "my_graph",
    "MATCH (rider:Rider)-[:rides]->(:Team {name:'Yamaha'}) RETURN rider"
)?;

GRAPH.SLOWLOG

Returns a list containing up to 10 of the slowest queries issued against the given graph ID. Results will be read into a list of SlowLogEntry.

let log:Vec<SlowLogEntry> = con.graph_slowlog("my_graph")?;

GRAPH.CONFIG

Allows configuring some global behaviour of redis graph for the redis server.

/// Set a config value. Be aware that setting non config fields here will
/// result in a redis error.
let success:bool = con.graph_config_set("RESULTSET_SIZE", 500)?;

/// Get a single config value.
let resultSetSize:i32 = con.graph_config_get("RESULTSET_SIZE")?;
assert_eq!(resultSetSize, 500);

/// Get all config values
let config: GraphConfig = con.graph_config_get_all()?;
let resSize:Option<u32> = config.get_value("RESULTSET_SIZE")?;
assert_eq!(resSize.unwrap(), 500);

Structs

GraphConfig

Simple wrapper around a graph config map that allows derserializing config values into rust types.

GraphResult

A graph query can return one or multiple values for every matching entry. A GraphResult contains a map of values for a single match. The map keys are the query RETURN statements, values can be of any GraphValue type in any order. The impl also contains some helper methods for easier extraction of graph values.

GraphResultSet

Contains the result of a Redis graph operation. All types of graph operations will return a result in this format. Some (for example CREATE) will only return data for select fields.

NodeValue

Represents a Redis graph node which is an object like structure with potentially multiple named fields.

RelationValue

Represents a Redis graph relation between two nodes. Like a node it can potentially contain one or multiple named fields.

SlowLogEntry

Represents an entry returned from the GRAPH.SLOWLOG command.

Enums

GraphValue

Redis graph values can be one of 3 different types. Scalars are single values of any type supported by Redis. Nodes are sort of objects which can contain multiple name value pairs and Relations are relations between Nodes which themself can contain multiple name value pairs.

Traits

AsyncGraphCommands

Provides a high level asynchronous API to work with Redis graph data types. The graph command becomes directly available on ConnectionLike types from the redis crate when you import the GraphCommands trait.

GraphCommands

Provides a high level synchronous API to work with Redis graph data types. The graph command becomes directly available on ConnectionLike types from the redis crate when you import the GraphCommands trait.

WithProperties

Enhances object like graph values (Node, Relation) that contain a map of properties with extraction function that allow parsing of the inner Redis values into requested types.
