Samples

The following are samples to see how Graph may be used within your applications.

  • Visit the Samples repo to see example projects using Graph.

Creating an Entity for an ImageCard

An Entity is a model (data) object that represents a person, place, or thing. It may store property values, be a member of groups, and can be tagged.

In the following example, we create an ImageCard view using Material and populate it's properties with an Entity that stores the data for that view.

Material ImageCard

Creating data

let graph = Graph()

let entity = Entity(type: "ImageCard")
entity["title"] = "Graph"
entity["detail"] = "Build Data-Driven Software"
entity["content"] = "Graph is a semantic database that is used to create data-driven applications."
entity["author"] = "CosmicMind"
entity["image"] = UIImage.load(contentsOfFile: "frontier", ofType: "jpg")

graph.sync()

Setting the view's properties

imageCard.toolbar?.title = entity["title"] as? String
imageCard.toolbar?.detail = entity["detail"] as? String
imageCard.imageView?.image = entity["image"] as? UIImage

let contentLabel = UILabel()
contentLabel.text = entity["content"] as? String
imageCard.contentView = contentLabel

let authorLabel = UILabel()
authorLabel.text = entity["author"] as? String
imageCard.bottomBar?.centerViews = [authorLabel]

Searching a list of users in realtime

Using the Search API is incredibly flexible. In the following example, Search is used to create a live search on user names with a dynamic UI provided by Material's SearchBar.

Material SearchBar

Preparing the search criteria

let graph = Graph()

let search = Search<Entity>(graph: graph).for(types: "User").where(properties: "name")

Asynchronously searching graph

search.async { [weak self, pattern = pattern] (users) in

	guard let regex = try? NSRegularExpression(pattern: pattern, options: []) else {
	    return
    }

	var data = [Entity]()

	for user in users {
		if let name = user["name"] as? String {
			let matches = regex.matches(in: name, range: NSRange(location: 0, length: name.utf16.count))

			if 0 < matches.count {
				data.append(user)
			}
		}
	}

	self?.tableView.data = data
}
