triblespace_core/query.rs
1//! Query facilities for matching tribles by declaring patterns of constraints.
2//! Build queries with the [`find!`](crate::prelude::find) macro which binds variables and
3//! combines constraint expressions:
4//!
5//! ```
6//! # use triblespace_core::prelude::*;
7//! # use triblespace_core::prelude::valueschemas::ShortString;
8//! let results = find!((x: Value<ShortString>), x.is("foo".to_value())).collect::<Vec<_>>();
9//! ```
10//!
11//! Variables are converted via [`TryFromValue`](crate::value::TryFromValue). By default,
12//! conversion failures silently skip the row (filter semantics). Append `?` to a variable
13//! to receive `Result<T, E>` instead, letting the caller handle errors explicitly.
14//!
15//! For a tour of the language see the "Query Language" chapter in the book.
16//! Conceptual background on schemas and join strategy appears in the
17//! "Query Engine" and "Atreides Join" chapters.

244/// The cooperative protocol that every query participant implements.
245///
246/// A constraint restricts the values that can be assigned to query variables.
247/// The query engine does not plan joins in advance; instead it consults
248/// constraints directly during a depth-first search over partial bindings.
249/// Each constraint reports which variables it touches, estimates how many
250/// candidates remain, enumerates concrete values on demand, and signals
251/// whether its requirements are still satisfiable. This protocol is the
252/// sole interface between the engine and the data — whether that data lives
253/// in a [`TribleSet`](crate::trible::TribleSet), a [`HashMap`](std::collections::HashMap),
254/// or a custom application predicate.
255///
256/// # The protocol
257///
258/// The engine drives the search by calling five methods in a fixed rhythm:
259///
260/// | Method | Role | Called when |
261/// |--------|------|------------|
262/// | [`variables`](Constraint::variables) | Declares which variables the constraint touches. | Once, at query start. |
263/// | [`estimate`](Constraint::estimate) | Predicts the candidate count for a variable. | Before each binding decision. |
264/// | [`propose`](Constraint::propose) | Enumerates candidate values for a variable. | On the most selective constraint. |
265/// | [`confirm`](Constraint::confirm) | Filters candidates proposed by another constraint. | On all remaining constraints. |
266/// | [`satisfied`](Constraint::satisfied) | Checks whether fully-bound sub-constraints still hold. | Before propose/confirm in composite constraints. |
267///
268/// [`influence`](Constraint::influence) completes the picture by telling the
269/// engine which estimates to refresh when a variable is bound or unbound.
270///
271/// # Statelessness
272///
273/// Constraints are stateless: every method receives the current [`Binding`]
274/// as a parameter rather than maintaining internal bookkeeping. This lets
275/// the engine backtrack freely by unsetting variables in the binding
276/// without notifying the constraints.
277///
278/// # Composability
279///
280/// Constraints combine via [`IntersectionConstraint`](crate::query::intersectionconstraint::IntersectionConstraint)
281/// (logical AND — built by [`and!`](crate::and)) and
282/// [`UnionConstraint`](crate::query::unionconstraint::UnionConstraint)
283/// (logical OR — built by [`or!`](crate::or)). Because every constraint
284/// speaks the same protocol, heterogeneous data sources mix freely in a
285/// single query.
286///
287/// # Implementing a custom constraint
288///
289/// A new constraint only needs to implement [`variables`](Constraint::variables),
290/// [`estimate`](Constraint::estimate), [`propose`](Constraint::propose), and
291/// [`confirm`](Constraint::confirm). Override [`satisfied`](Constraint::satisfied)
292/// when the constraint can detect unsatisfiability before the engine asks
293/// about individual variables (e.g. a fully-bound triple lookup that found
294/// no match). Override [`influence`](Constraint::influence) when binding one
295/// variable changes the estimates for a non-obvious set of others.

649/// Iterate over query results, converting each variable via
650/// [`TryFromValue`](crate::value::TryFromValue).
651///
652/// The macro takes two arguments: a tuple of variables with optional type
653/// annotations, and a constraint expression. It injects a `__local_find_context!`
654/// macro that provides the variable context to nested query macros like
655/// [`pattern!`](crate::namespace), [`temp!`], and [`ignore!`].
656///
657/// # Variable syntax
658///
659/// | Syntax | Meaning |
660/// |--------|---------|
661/// | `name` | inferred type, filter on conversion failure |
662/// | `name: Type` | explicit type, filter on conversion failure |
663/// | `name?` | inferred type, yield `Result<T, E>` (no filter) |
664/// | `name: Type?` | explicit type, yield `Result<T, E>` (no filter) |
665///
666/// **Filter semantics (default):** when a variable's conversion fails the
667/// entire row is silently skipped — like a constraint that doesn't match.
668/// For types whose `TryFromValue::Error = Infallible` the error branch is
669/// dead code, so no rows can ever be accidentally filtered.
670///
671/// **`?` pass-through:** appending `?` to a variable makes it yield
672/// `Result<T, E>` directly. Both `Ok` and `Err` values pass through with
673/// no filtering, matching Rust's `?` semantics of "bubble the error to the
674/// caller."
675///
676/// # Examples
677///
678/// ```
679/// # use triblespace_core::prelude::*;
680/// # use triblespace_core::prelude::valueschemas::ShortString;
681/// // Filter semantics — rows where conversion fails are skipped:
682/// let results = find!((x: Value<ShortString>), x.is("foo".to_value())).collect::<Vec<_>>();
