I am new to Gun. I have existing code that very effectively reduces an array of objects based on a pattern. I am thinking I should tweak this to run in the context of Gun's .map and return undefined for non-matches. I think I will also have to provide two arguments, one of which is the where clause and the other the properties I want shown on returned objects. I also presume that if I use .on future matches will automagically get spit out! Am I on the right path?
const match = (object,key,value) => {
const type = typeof(value);
if(value && type==="object") {
return Object.keys(value).every(childkey =>
match(object[key],childkey,value[childkey]));
if(type==="function") return value(object[key]);
return object[key]===value;
}
const reduce = (objects,where) => {
const keys = Object.keys(where);
return objects.reduce((accumulator,current) => {
if(keys.every(key => match(current,key,where[key]))) {
accumulator.push(current);
}
return accumulator;
},[]);
}
let rows = reduce([{name: "Joe",address:{city: "Seattle"},age:25},
{name: "Mary",address:{city: "Seattle"},age:16},
{name: "Joe",address:{city: "New York"},age:20}],
{name: () => true,
address: {city: "Seattle"},
age: (age) => age > 10});
// results in [{name: "Joe",address:{city: "Seattle"},age:25}, {name: "Mary",address:{city: "Seattle"},age:16}]
Further exploration of this resulted in the code below, which is stylistically different, but conforms to the immediate responsive nature of Gun. However, it is unclear how to deal with nested objects. The code below only works for primitives.
const match = (object,key,value) => {
const type = typeof(value);
if(!object || typeof(object)!=="object") return false;
if(value && type==="object") {
const child = gun.get(object[key]["#"]);
for(let key in value) {
const value = {};
child.get(key).val(v => value[key] = v,{wait:0});
if(!match(value,key,value[key])) return;
}
}
if(type==="function") return value(object[key]);
return object[key]===value;
}
const gun = Gun(["http://localhost:8080/gun"]),
users = [{name: "Joe",address:{city: "Seattle"},age:25},
{address:{city: "Seattle"},age:25},
{name: "Mary",address:{city: "Seattle"},age:16},
{name: "Joe",address:{city: "New York"},age:20}];
//gun.get("users").map().put(null);
for(let user of users) {
const object = gun.get(user.name).put(user);
gun.get("users").set(object);
}
gun.get("users").map(user => {
const pattern = {name: (value) => value!=null, age: (age) => age > 20}; //, address: {city: "Seattle"}
for(let key in pattern) {
if(!match(user,key,pattern[key])) return;
}
return user;
}).on(data => console.log(data));
