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.

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

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