Serializable, generic queries!
This library allows you to write querying functions that are fully java serializable. For example, you on one end:
import com.bioball.quark.{Query, QueryModel}
import com.bioball.quark.QueryRefs.implicits._
import some.common.package.User
class UserModel extends QueryModel {
def firstName = prop[String]("firstName")
def lastName = prop[String]("lastName")
def age = prop[Int]("age")
}
implicit val model = new UserModel()
// this query can be serialized.
val query = Query[User, UserModel]()
.filter(_.firstName === "Bob")
sendQueryToRemoteHost(query)
And on the receiving end:
import com.bioball.quark.Query
import some.common.package.User
val users = Seq(
User("Bob", "Myers", 50),
User("Sandra", "Wellington", 15)
)
val query: Query = getQuerySomehow
val result = query.run(people)
// => Seq(User("Bob", "Myers", 50))
sendBackToClient(result)
In most cases, you probably don't need it. This library heavily depends on both applications having packages in the same classpaths. One particular use-case is in applications that keep data in memory (e.g. sometimes used in event-sourcing), and don't keep values in a database.
