Method: Factbase#query

Defined in:
lib/factbase.rb

#query(term, maps = nil) ⇒ Object

Create a query capable of iterating.

There is a Lisp-like syntax, for example:

(eq title 'Object Thinking')
(gt time 2024-03-23T03:21:43Z)
(gt cost 42)
(exists seenBy)
(and
  (eq foo 42.998)
  (or
    (gt bar 200)
    (absent zzz)))

The full list of terms available in the query you can find in the README.md file of the repository.

Parameters:

  • term (String|Factbase::Term) —

    The query to use for selections

  • maps (Array<Hash>|nil) (defaults to: nil) —

    The subset of maps (if provided)
