Library

> var dq = new DocQuery("~/Projects/docquery/test/fixtures", {recursive: true})
DocQuery {}

> dq.search("star")
[{"filePath": "/Users/jonmagic/Projects/docquery/test/fixtures/top-5/movies.md",  "fileName": "movies.md",  "title": "movies",  "modifiedAt": "2015-05-15T17:28:25.250Z",  "body": "..."}]

> dq.on("updated", function(fileDetails) { console.log("fires when a document is updated") })
> dq.on("removed", function(fileDetails) { console.log("fires when a document is removed") })

Command Line

Here's an example directory structure with some markdown documents in it.

~/Projects/docquery $ tree test/fixtures
test/fixtures
├── 2015-05-15.md
├── hello-world.md
└── top-5
    ├── burgers.md
    └── movies.md

1 directory, 4 files

Use the docquery command line tool dq to query those documents and get back json results.

~/Projects/docquery $ dq -r -p test/fixtures star
[
  {
    "filePath": "/Users/jonmagic/Projects/docquery/test/fixtures/top-5/movies.md",
    "fileName": "movies.md",
    "title": "movies",
    "modifiedAt": "2015-05-15T17:28:25.250Z",
    "body": "..."
  }
]

dq takes a number of options.

~/Projects/docquery $ dq -h
Usage: dq [options] query

Options:
  -p, --path <path>    Path to search
  -r, --recursive      Search sub directories
  -b, --body           Include document body in search result
  -h, --help           Show dq help

Return file paths only from the search results with jq.

~/Projects/docquery $ dq -rp test/fixtures star | jq .[].filePath
"/Users/jonmagic/Projects/docquery/test/fixtures/top-5/movies.md"

Set default options by creating a ~/.dq file that looks like this:

{
  "recursive": false,
  "searchPath": "~/Notes",
  "includeBody": false
}
