DictQuery
========================

Library to query python dicts


Several syntax examples:

```
"age >= 12"
"`user.name` == 'cyberlis'"
"`user.email` MATCH /\w+@\w+\.com/ AND age != 11"
"`user.friends.age` > 12 AND `user.friends.name` LIKE 'Ra*ond'"
"email LIKE 'mariondelgado?bleendot?com'"
"eyeColor IN ['blue', 'green', 'black']"
"isActive AND (gender == 'female' OR age == 27)"
"latitude != longitude"
```

Supported data types
====================
| type | example |
|-----------|---------|
| KEY       | name, age, \`friends.name.firstname\`, \`friends.age\` |
| NUMBER    | 42, -12, 34.7 |
| STRING    | 'hello', "hellow" |
| BOOLEAN   | true, false |
| NONE      | none, null |
| NOW       | utc current datetime |
| REGEXP    | /\d+\d+\w+/ |
| ARRAY     | list of any items and any types |


Keys
===========
Key literals must start with a letter or an underscore, such as:
  * `_underscore`
  * `underscore_`

The remainder of your variable name may consist of letters, numbers and underscores.
  * `password1`
  * `n00b`
  * `un_der_scores`

If you need a key with separator character (`.` or `/`) because you use nested keys, or need spaces or other punctuation characters in key, use back-ticks (\`\`)

DictQuery supports nested dicts splited by dot `.` or any separator specified in `key_separator` param. Default `key_separator='.'`

```
>>> import dictquery as dq
>>> dq.match(data, "`friends.age` <= 26")
True
>>> compiled = dq.compile("`friends/age` <= 26", key_separator='/')
>>> compiled.match(data)
True
```

if you don't need nested keys parsing and want get keys as is or if your keys contain separator char, you can disable nested keys behaviour by setting `use_nested_keys=False`

```
>>> import dictquery as dq
>>> dq.match(data, "`user.address`")
False
>>> dq.match(data, "age")
True
>>> compiled = dq.compile("`user.address`", use_nested_keys=False)
>>> compiled.match(data)
True
```

In query you can use dict keys 'as is' without any binary operation. DictQuery will get value by the key and evaluate it to bool

```
>>> import dictquery as dq
>>> dq.match(data, "isActive")
False
>>> dq.match(data, "isActive == false")
True
```

if key is not found by default this situation evaluates to boolean `False` (no exception raised).
You can set `raise_keyerror=True` to raise keyerror if key would not be found.
```
>>> import dictquery as dq
>>> dq.match(data, "favoriteFruit")
False
>>> compiled = dq.compile("`favoriteFruit`", raise_keyerror=True)
>>> compiled.match(data)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File ".../dictquery/dictquery/visitors.py", line 41, in match
    return self.evaluate(data)
  File ".../dictquery/dictquery/visitors.py", line 35, in evaluate
    result = bool(self.ast.accept(self))
  File ".../dictquery/dictquery/parsers.py", line 80, in accept
    return visitor.visit_key(self)
  File ".../dictquery/dictquery/visitors.py", line 84, in visit_key
    values=self._get_dict_value(expr.value),
  File ".../dictquery/dictquery/visitors.py", line 30, in _get_dict_value
    self.key_separator, self.raise_keyerror)
  File ".../dictquery/dictquery/datavalue.py", line 112, in query_value
    raise DQKeyError("Key '{}' not found".format(data_key))
dictquery.exceptions.DQKeyError: "Key 'favoriteFruit' not found"

```

Comparisons
===========


| Operation | Meaning |
|-----------|---------|
| <         | strictly less than |
| <=        | less than or equal |
| >         | strictly greater than |
| >=        | greater than or equal |
| ==        | equal |
| !=        | not equal |


```
>>> import dictquery as dq
>>> dq.match(data, "age == 26")
True
>>> dq.match(data, "latitude > 12")
True
>>> dq.match(data, "longitude < 30")
True
>>> dq.match(data, "`friends.age` <= 26")
True
>>> dq.match(data, "longitude >= -130")
True
>>> dq.match(data, "id != 0")
True
>>> dq.match(data, "gender == 'male'")
False
```

String comparisons and matching
===============================

String literals are written in a variety of ways:
* Single quotes: 'allows embedded "double" quotes'
* Double quotes: "allows embedded 'single' quotes".

| Operation | Meaning |
|-----------|---------|
| MATCH     | regexp matching |
| LIKE      | glob like matching |
| IN        | dict item substring in string |
| CONTAINS   | dict item substring contains string |

< , <= , > , >= , == , != works same way with strings as python
```
>>> import dictquery as dq
>>> dq.match(data, "eyeColor == 'green'")
True
>>> dq.match(data, "`name.firstname` != 'Ratliff'")
True
>>> dq.match(data, "eyeColor IN 'string with green color'")
True
>>> dq.match(data, "email CONTAINS '.com'")
True
>>> dq.match(data, r"email MATCH /\w+@\w+\.\w+/")
True
>>> dq.match(data, r"email LIKE 'mariondelgado@*'")
True
>>> dq.match(data, r"email LIKE 'mariondelgado?bleendot?com'")
True
```

By default all string related operations are case sensitive. To change this behaviour you have to create instance of DictQuery with `case_sensitive=False`

```
>>> import dictquery as dq
>>> dq.match(data, "`name.firstname` == 'marion'")
False
>>> compiled = dq.compile("`name.firstname` == 'marion'", case_sensitive=False)
>>> compiled.match(data)
True
```

Array comparisons
=================
| Operation | Meaning |
|-----------|---------|
| IN        | dict item in array |
| CONTAINS   | dict item contains matching item |


```
>>> import dictquery as dq
>>> dq.match(data, "tags CONTAINS 'dolor'")
True
>>> dq.match(data, "eyeColor IN ['blue', 'green', 'black']")
True
```

Key presence in dict
=====================
`CONTAINS` can be used with dict items to check if key in dict

```
>>> import dictquery as dq
>>> dq.match(data, "name CONTAINS 'firstname'")
True
>>> dq.match(data, "name CONTAINS 'thirdname'")
False
```

Datetime comparisons with `NOW`
===============================
`NOW` returns current utc datetime

dict item can be compared with `NOW` using standard operations (< , <= , > , >= , == , !=)
```
>>> import dictquery as dq
>>> dq.match(data, "registered < NOW")
True
>>> dq.match(data, "registered != NOW")
True
```

Logical operators
=================
|Operator|	Meaning|	Example|
|--------|---------|---------|
|and	|True if both the operands are true|	x and y|
|or	|True if either of the operands is true|	x or y|
|not	|True if operand is false (complements the operand)|	not x |

```
>>> import dictquery as dq
>>> dq.match(data, "isActive AND gender == 'female'")
False
>>> dq.match(data, "isActive OR gender == 'female'")
True
>>> dq.match(data, "NOT isActive AND gender == 'female'")
True
```

You can use parentheses to group statements or change evaluation order
```
>>> import dictquery as dq
>>> dq.match(data, "isActive AND gender == 'female' OR age == 27")
True
>>> dq.match(data, "isActive AND (gender == 'female' OR age == 27)")
False
```
