<p class="lead"><b>The Query API is deprecated and the search API should be used instead.</b>
</p>
<p>As is custom for every framework, querying the model must be possible. Strolch queries are implemented using
2018-06-22 21:18:36 +02:00
the <code>StrolchQuery</code> interface and one of its concrete implementations: <code>ResourceQuery</code>,
2016-09-16 11:29:01 +02:00
<code>OrderQuery</code>, <code>ActivityQuery</code>.</p>
<p>A Strolch element always has two identifiers: <code>Type</code> and <code>Id</code>. The type is important as
2018-06-22 21:18:36 +02:00
it classifies an element. So if a car and a house would be modelled in Strolch, then those would both be a
2016-09-16 11:29:01 +02:00
<code>Resource</code>, but one of type <code>Car</code> and the other of type <code>House</code>. Both would
2018-06-22 21:18:36 +02:00
have different parameters.</p>
<p>Thus one of the inputs for every query is it's type, which is defined as the navigation. It is said that we
2018-06-22 21:18:36 +02:00
navigate to the Cars, or Houses. Thus when instantiating a ResourceQuery, pass the navigation to the type of
Resource as well. Same applies for Orders and Activities.</p>
<p>Further input for a StrolchQuery are the selections. These selections get translated into RDBMS
2016-09-16 11:29:01 +02:00
<code>WHERE</code> clauses. Selections support boolean operations thus allowing for complex querying.</p>
<p>StrolchQueries also support Ordering and object transformation. Following classes provide the most used
2018-06-22 21:18:36 +02:00
scenarios:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>OrderById</code></li>
<li><code>OrderByName</code></li>
<li><code>OrderByParameter</code></li>
<li><code>*ToDomVisitor</code></li>
<li><code>*ToSaxVisitor</code></li>
<li><code>*ToJsonVisitor</code></li>
<li><code>*ToFlatJsonVisitor</code></li>
</ul>

<br />
<p>Example: Query all resources of type Car:</p>
<pre>
try (StrolchTransaction tx = openTx()) {
ResourceQuery&lt;Resource&gt; query = ResourceQuery.query("Car");
query.withAny();
List&lt;Resource&gt; cars = tx.doQuery(query);
}</pre>
2018-06-22 21:18:36 +02:00
<br />
<p>Example: Query all resources of type Car, order by Name and transform to JSON:</p>
<pre>
try (StrolchTransaction tx = openTx()) {
ResourceQuery&lt;JsonObject&gt; query = ResourceQuery.query("Car", new ResourceToJsonVisitor(),
new OrderByName());
query.withAny();
List&lt;JsonObject&gt; cars = tx.doQuery(query);
}</pre>
2018-06-22 21:18:36 +02:00
<br />
<p>the previous example can also be written as follows:</p>
<pre>
try (StrolchTransaction tx = openTx()) {
ResourceQuery&lt;JsonObject&gt; query = new ResourceQuery<>();
query.setNavigation(new StrolchTypeNavigation("Car"));
query.setResourceVisitor(new ResourceToJsonVisitor());
query.withAny();
List&lt;JsonObject&gt; cars = tx.doQuery(query);
}</pre>
2018-06-22 21:18:36 +02:00
<br />
<p>Example: Query all resources of type Car with color blue:</p>
<pre>
try (StrolchTransaction tx = openTx()) {
ResourceQuery&lt;Resource&gt; query = ResourceQuery.query("Car");
query.with(ParameterSelection.stringSelection("parameters", "color", "blue", StringMatchMode.es()));
List&lt;Resource&gt; cars = tx.doQuery(query);
}</pre>
2018-06-22 21:18:36 +02:00
<br />
<p>Example: Query all resources of type Car which are not blue:</p>
<pre>
try (StrolchTransaction tx = openTx()) {
ResourceQuery&lt;Resource&gt; query = ResourceQuery.query("Car");
query.not(ParameterSelection.stringSelection("parameters", "color", "blue", StringMatchMode.es()));
List&lt;Resource&gt; cars = tx.doQuery(query);
}</pre>
2018-06-22 21:18:36 +02:00
<br />
<p>Example: Query all resources of type Car with color blue or yellow:</p>
<pre>
try (StrolchTransaction tx = openTx()) {
ResourceQuery&lt;Resource&gt; query = ResourceQuery.query("Car");
query.or().with(
ParameterSelection.stringSelection("parameters", "color", "blue", StringMatchMode.es()),
ParameterSelection.stringSelection("parameters", "color", "yellow", StringMatchMode.es()));
List&lt;Resource&gt; cars = tx.doQuery(query);
}</pre>
2018-06-22 21:18:36 +02:00
<br />
<p>Example: Query all resources of type Car with color blue or yellow owned by Jill:</p>
<pre>
try (StrolchTransaction tx = openTx()) {
ResourceQuery&lt;Resource&gt; query = ResourceQuery.query("Car");
StringParameterSelection owner = ParameterSelection.stringSelection("parameters", "owner", "Jill", StringMatchMode.es());
OrSelection colors = new OrSelection().with(
ParameterSelection.stringSelection("parameters", "color", "blue", StringMatchMode.es()),
ParameterSelection.stringSelection("parameters", "color", "yellow", StringMatchMode.es()));
query.and().with(owner, colors);
List&lt;Resource&gt; cars = tx.doQuery(query);
}</pre>
