TrailDB Crystal Bindings

Official Crystal bindings for TrailDB, an efficient tool for storing and querying series of events. This library is heavily inspired by the official Python bindings. Crystal is an excellent language for TrailDB due to its simplicity and blazing fast performance. Crystal + TrailDB = ❤️.

Examples

Constructing a TrailDB

Code

require "traildb"

cons = TrailDBConstructor.new("testtrail.tdb", ["field1", "field2"])

uuid = "12345678123456781234567812345678"
cons.add(uuid, Time.new(2017, 11, 12, 1, 1), ["a", "1"])
cons.add(uuid, Time.new(2017, 11, 13, 1, 1), ["b", "2"])
cons.add(uuid, Time.new(2017, 11, 14, 1, 1), ["c", "3"])
cons.close

Loading all trails

Code

require "traildb"

traildb = TrailDB.new("testtrail.tdb")

puts "Number of trails: #{traildb.num_trails}"
puts "Number of fields: #{traildb.num_fields}"

traildb.trails.each do |(uuid, trail)|
  puts "Events for trail #{uuid}"
  trail.each do |event|
    # Access event items by key
    puts event["field1"]

    # Or get the full hash
    puts event.to_h
  end
end

Output

Number of trails: 1
Number of fields: 3
Events for trail 

Loading all events in a trail

Code

events = traildb[0].to_a
# or
events = traildb["12345678123456781234567812345678"].to_a

Applying an Event Filter

Code

require "traildb"

event_filter = traildb.create_filter([[{"field1", "a"}]])
traildb.event_filter = event_filter

traildb.trails.each do |(uuid, trail)|
  puts "Events for trail #{uuid}"
  trail.each do |event|
    puts event.to_h
  end
end

Output

Events for trail
