Installation

Supported in modern browsers and node.

# latest stable
yarn add @stoplight/graphite

Usage

Note, this is not all implemented, but rather an example of what it might look like.

import {
  Graphite,
  FilesystemPlugin,
  JsonPlugin,
  YamlPlugin,
  Oas2Plugin
} from "@stoplight/graphite";

const graphite = Graphite();

graphite.registerPlugins(
  FilesystemSource(),
  JsonPlugin(),
  YamlPlugin(),
  Oas2Plugin()
);

// Mirror two Graphite instances. The mirroredGraphite instance has no plugins, and simply applies the results of the graphite instance.
const mirroredGraphite = Graphite();
graphite.on("did_patch", mirroredGraphite.applyPatch);

// Add a single SourceNode of type file
const n = graphite.addSourceNode({
  type: FilesystemPlugin.File,
  path: "/foo.json"
});

// Queue up a read task for that node
n.read();

// Wait until all processing is done
await graphite.tasksProcessed();

// The two graphs should be identical, ids and all.
// Note, the mirroredGraph did NO work - all the file reading, parsing, etc, was done by the plugins in the main graphite instance.
expect(graphite.dehydrate()).toEqual(mirroredGraphite.dehydrate());

Concepts

Graph

• Holds nodes and edges.
• Exposes methods to add and remove nodes/edges.
• Responsible for managing node/edge lifecycle.

Nodes

• They hold data.
• There are three node categories (described below): source, source_map, and virtual.

Edges

• They represent relationships between nodes.

Graphite

• Manages a single graph instance.
• Exposes applyPatch method.
• Emits events as patches are processed.
• Exposes convenience methods for common patterns, such as addSourceNode, that simply build and a patch or task and call applyPatch or queueTask.
• Manages tasks.

Mutations

• ALL changes, both internal and external, pass through the graphite.applyPatch method.

JsonPatch

• A group of JsonOperations.

GraphPatch

• A group of JsonOperations, and their inverse. This is similar to the concept of a "transaction".
• If one operation fails, they all fail, and a rollback is attempted.

GraphTask

• Describes a single change to be made to the graph.
• Any operations that cannot be accomplished via JsonPatch must be queued up via a GraphTask.
• Examples include add_node, read_node, write_node, parse_node, compute_node_source_map.
• Plugins can define their own tasks, such as oas2_lint_node.
• The result of a GraphTask must always be a GraphPatch.
• When a task is run, the GraphPatch it returns is applied to the graph.

Scheduler

• Manages one or more task queues.
• We will at the very least have high and low priority queues.
• Tasks such as add_node and read_node will go into a high priority queue.
• Tasks such as oas2_lint_node and resolve_node will go into a low priority queue.

Notifier

• Manages events like a boss.

Sources

SourceNode

• Source nodes are the only node category
• Exposes 4 primary properties - original, raw, parsed (TODO), and isDirty.
• Exposes 4 primary methods - read, write, updateRaw, and updateParsed.

SourceSink

• Responsible for reading data from some data source, and adding the appropriate source nodes.
• Responsible for refreshing the original property of a SourceNode in response to read_node tasks.
• Responsible for writing the SourceNode raw property back to the data source in response to write_node tasks.
• Implements ISourceReader and/or ISourceWriter.

SourceParser

• Targets one or more SourceNodes.
• Responsible for computing its parsed value when raw changes.
• Responsible for computing its raw value when parsed changes.

SourceMapNode

• A specific type of node that is a child of a SourceNode.
• Its uri points to a real location in the original source.
• Its data property points to a value in its parent SourceNode.parsed, according to its uri.
• Exposes an update method that queues a GraphPatch to update its source node parsed value.

SourceTree

• Defines a ISourceTreeMap that describes how a SourceNode.parsed value should be translated into SourceMapNodes.

VirtualNode

• Anything that is not a SourceNode or SourceTreeNode
• Examples: linting results, transformed http operation and http service nodes, etc
