perspective~view

Kind: inner class of perspective

new view()

A View object represents a specific transform (configuration or pivot, filter, sort, etc) configuration on an underlying table. A View receives all updates from the table from which it is derived, and can be serialized to JSON or trigger a callback when it is updated. View objects are immutable, and will remain in memory and actively process updates until its delete method is called.

Note This constructor is not public - Views are created by invoking the view method.

Example 

// Returns a new View, pivoted in the row space by the "name" column.
await table.view({group_by: ["name"]});

view.get_config() ⇒ Promise.<object>

A copy of the config object passed to the table#view method which created this view.

Kind: instance method of view
Returns: Promise.<object> - Shared the same key/values properties as view

view.delete()

Delete this view and clean up all resources associated with it. View objects do not stop consuming resources or processing updates when they are garbage collected - you must call this method to reclaim these.

Kind: instance method of view

view.schema() ⇒ Promise.<Object>

The schema of this view.

A schema is an Object, the keys of which are the columns of this view, and the values are their string type names. If this view is aggregated, theses will be the aggregated types; otherwise these types will be the same as the columns in the underlying table.

Kind: instance method of view
Returns: Promise.<Object> - A Promise of this view's schema.
Example 

// Create a view
const view = await table.view({
     columns: ["a", "b"]
});
const schema = await view.schema(); // {a: "float", b: "string"}

view.expression_schema() ⇒ Promise.<Object>

The expression schema of this view, which contains only the expressions created on this view.

A schema is an Object, the keys of which are the columns of this view, and the values are their string type names. If this view is aggregated, these will be the aggregated types; otherwise these types will be the same as the columns in the underlying table.

Kind: instance method of view
Returns: Promise.<Object> - A Promise of this view's expression schema.
Example 

// Create a view with expressions
const view = table.view({
     expressions: {'"x" + "y" - 100': '"x" + "y" - 100'}
});

await view.expression_schema(); // {'"x" + "y" - 100': "float"}

view.column_paths() ⇒ Array.<String>

Returns an array of strings containing the column paths of the View without any of the source columns.

A column path shows the columns that a given cell belongs to after pivots are applied.

Kind: instance method of view
Returns: Array.<String> - an Array of Strings containing the column paths.

view.get_min_max(colname) ⇒ Array.<Object>

Calculates the min, max of the leaf nodes of a column colname.

Kind: instance method of view
Returns: Array.<Object> - A tuple of min, max, whose types are column and aggregate dependent.
Params

  • colname String - A column name in this View.

view.to_columns(options) ⇒ Promise.<Array>

Serializes this view to JSON data in a column-oriented format.

Kind: instance method of view
Returns: Promise.<Array> - A Promise resolving to An array of Objects representing the rows of this view. If this view had a "group_by" config parameter supplied when constructed, each row Object will have a "ROW_PATH" key, whose value specifies this row's aggregated path. If this view had a "split_by" config parameter supplied, the keys of this object will be comma-prepended with their comma-separated column paths.
Params

  • options Object - An optional configuration object. - .start_row number - The starting row index from which to serialize. - .end_row number - The ending row index from which to serialize. - .start_col number - The starting column index from which to serialize. - .end_col number - The ending column index from which to serialize. - .index boolean = false - Should the index from the underlying table be in the output (as "__INDEX__").

view.to_columns_string()

Serializes this view to a string of JSON data. Useful if you want to save additional round trip serialize/deserialize cycles.

Kind: instance method of view

view.to_json(options) ⇒ Promise.<Array>

Serializes this view to JSON data in a row-oriented format.

Kind: instance method of view
Returns: Promise.<Array> - A Promise resolving to An array of Objects representing the rows of this view. If this view had a "group_by" config parameter supplied when constructed, each row Object will have a "ROW_PATH" key, whose value specifies this row's aggregated path. If this view had a "split_by" config parameter supplied, the keys of this object will be comma-prepended with their comma-separated column paths.
Params

  • options Object - An optional configuration object. - .start_row number - The starting row index from which to serialize. - .end_row number - The ending row index from which to serialize. - .start_col number - The starting column index from which to serialize. - .end_col number - The ending column index from which to serialize.

view.to_csv(options) ⇒ Promise.<string>

Serializes this view to CSV data in a standard format.

Kind: instance method of view
Returns: Promise.<string> - A Promise resolving to a string in CSV format representing the rows of this view. If this view had a "group_by" config parameter supplied when constructed, each row will have prepended those values specified by this row's aggregated path. If this view had a "split_by" config parameter supplied, the keys of this object will be comma-prepended with their comma-separated column paths.
Params

  • options Object - An optional configuration object. - .start_row number - The starting row index from which to serialize. - .end_row number - The ending row index from which to serialize. - .start_col number - The starting column index from which to serialize. - .end_col number - The ending column index from which to serialize.

view.col_to_js_typed_array(column_name, options) ⇒ Promise.<TypedArray>

Serializes a view column into a TypedArray.

Kind: instance method of view
Returns: Promise.<TypedArray> - A promise resolving to a TypedArray representing the data of the column as retrieved from the view - all pivots, aggregates, sorts, and filters have been applied onto the values inside the TypedArray. The TypedArray will be constructed based on data type - integers will resolve to Int8Array, Int16Array, or Int32Array. Floats resolve to Float32Array or Float64Array. If the column cannot be found, or is not of an integer/float type, the Promise returns undefined.
Params

  • column_name string - The name of the column to serialize.
  • options Object - An optional configuration object. - .data_slice * - A data slice object from which to serialize. - .start_row number - The starting row index from which to serialize. - .end_row number - The ending row index from which to serialize.

Kind: instance method of view
Params

  • callback function - A callback function invoked on update, which receives an object with two keys: port_id, indicating which port the update was triggered on, and delta, whose value is dependent on the mode parameter: - "none" (default): delta is undefined. - "row": delta is an Arrow of the updated rows.

Example 

// Attach an `on_update` callback

perspective~table

Kind: inner class of perspective

new table()

A Table object is the basic data container in Perspective. Tables are typed - they have an immutable set of column names, and a known type for each.

Note This constructor is not public - Tables are created by invoking the table factory method, either on the perspective module object, or an a module:perspective~worker instance.

If none are provided, all columns are output. - .aggregates Object - An object, the keys of which are column names, and their respective values are the aggregates calculations to use when this view has group_by. A column provided to config.columns without an aggregate in this object, will use the default aggregate calculation for its type. - .filter Array.<Array.<string>> - An Array of Filter configurations to apply. A filter configuration is an array of 3 elements: A column name, a supported filter comparison string (e.g. '===', '>'), and a value to compare. - .sort Array.<string> - An Array of Sort configurations to apply. A sort configuration is an array of 2 elements: A column name, and a sort direction, which are: "none", "asc", "desc", "col asc", "col desc", "asc abs", "desc abs", "col asc abs", "col desc abs".

Example
