GRAB

The main action is GRAB, this will parse files and return data.

Basic

Here's how to return all User without any filtering:

GRAB User


To get all User above 30 years old:

GRAB User {age > 30}


To return only the member name of User:

GRAB User [name] {age > 30}


To return the 10 first User:

GRAB User [10] {age > 30}


You can combine these options:

GRAB User [10; name] {age > 30}


Use multiple conditions:

GRAB User {name = 'Bob' AND (age > 30 OR age < 10)}


GRAB queries return a list of JSON objects with the data inside, e.g:

[{id:"1e170a80-84c9-429a-be25-ab4657894653", name: "Gwendolyn Ray", age: 70, email: "austin92@example.org", scores: [ 77 ], friends: [], }, ]


Ordering - Not yet implemented

To order the results by name:

GRAB User [10; name] {age > 10} |ASC name|

Array

You can use the IN operator to check if something is in an array:

GRAB User { age > 10 AND name IN ['Adrien' 'Bob']}


Relationship

2 main things to remember with relationship:

  • You can use filter inside filter.
  • You can use the dot . to refer to a relationship. (Not yet implemented)

Get User that have a best friend named Adrien:

GRAB User { bestfriend IN { name = 'Adrien' } }


You can specify how much data to return and which members to include, even for links. In this example, I get 1 friend's name for 10 User:

GRAB User [10; friends [1; name]]


When using IN, it return all User that have AT LEAST one friend named Adrien:

GRAB User { friends IN { name = 'Adrien' } }


To get User with all friends named Adrien:

GRAB User { friends ALLIN { name = 'Adrien' } }


You can use ! to say not in:

GRAB User { friends !IN { name = 'Adrien' } }


Dot - Not yet implemented

You can use . if you just want to do one comparison. Here I get all User that ordered at least one book:

GRAB User { orders.products.category.name = 'Book' }

Same as:

GRAB User {orders IN { products IN { category IN { name = 'Book'} } } }


You can also use the dot like that:

GRAB User.orders {name = 'Bob'}

The filter is done on User but it return Order. It return all Order from User named 'Bob'.
