RedGrape - Extremely Simple GraphDB

• https://github.com/technohippy/red-grape

Description:

RedGrape is an in-memory graph database written in ruby. I made this application in order to learn how a graph database works so that please do not use this for any serious purpose.

Features/Problems:

• REPL
• load GraphML
• construct a graph programmatically
• traverse nodes and edges using a gremlin-like DSL
• REST API
• Graph viewer (in progress)

Synopsis:

g1 = RedGrape.load_graph 'data/graph-example-1.xml'
g1.v(1).out('knows').filter{it.age < 30}.name.transform{it.size}.take
# => [5]

g2 = RedGrape.load_graph 'data/graph-example-2.xml'
g2.v(89).as('x').outE.inV.loop('x'){it.loops < 3}.path.take
# => [[v[89], e[7006][89-followed_by->127], v[127], e[7786][127-sung_by->340], v[340]], [v[89], 

REPL:

$ bin/redgrape
         T
       oOOOo
        oOo
-------- O --------
irb(main):001:0> g = RedGrape.create_tinker_graph
 => redgrape[vertices:6 edges:6] 
irb(main):002:0> g.class
 => RedGrape::Graph 
irb(main):003:0> g.V
 => [v[1], v[2], v[3], v[4], v[5], v[6]] 
irb(main):004:0> g.V.name
 => ["marko", "vadas", "lop", "josh", "ripple", "peter"] 
irb(main):005:0> g.E
 => [e[7][1-knows->2], e[8][1-knows->4], e[9][1-created->3], e[10][4-created->5], e[11][4-created->3], e[12][6-created->3]] 
irb(main):006:0> v = g.v(1)
 => v[1] 
irb(main):007:0> "#{v.name} is #{v.age} years old."
 => "marko is 29 years old." 
irb(main):008:0> v.out
 => [v[2], v[4], v[3]] 
irb(main):009:0> v.out('knows')
 => [v[2], v[4]] 
irb(main):010:0> v.outE
 => [e[7][1-knows->2], e[8][1-knows->4], e[9][1-created->3]] 
irb(main):011:0> v.outE('knows')
 => [e[7][1-knows->2], e[8][1-knows->4]] 
irb(main):012:0> v.outE.weight
 => [0.5, 1.0, 0.4] 
irb(main):013:0> v.outE.has('weight', :lt, 1).inV
 => [v[2], v[3]] 
irb(main):014:0> v.outE.filter{it.weight < 1}.inV
 => [v[2], v[3]] 
irb(main):015:0> v.out('knows').filter{it.age:0> 30}.out('created').name
 => ["ripple", "lop"] 

In REPL, the `take' method which invokes all pipes is automatically called.

Server/Client:

Server:

$ ./bin/trellis

  | oOo  oOOOo  oOo |
  |  8    oOo    8  |

Start server: druby://localhost:28282

Client:

$ ./bin/redgrape 
         T
       oOOOo
        oOo
-------- O --------
irb(main):001:0> $store
 => #<RedGrape::GraphStore:0x007fb615137a90> 
irb(main):002:0> $store.graphs
 => [:tinker] 
irb(main):003:0> g = $store.graph :tinker
 => redgrape[vertices:6 edges:6] 
irb(main):004:0> g.add_vertex 7
 => redgrape[vertices:7 edges:6] 
irb(main):005:0> store.put_graph :tinker, g
 => redgrape[vertices:7 edges:6] 

Changes on a graph are not committed until the put_graph method is called.
