pyC8 0.7.7

Python Driver for Macrometa Digital Edge Fabric

# PyC8

Welcome to the GitHub page for **pyC8**, a Python driver for the Digital Edge Fabric.

## Features


- Clean Pythonic interface.
- Lightweight.

## Compatibility

- Python versions 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6 are supported.

## Build & Install

To build,

```bash
$ python setup.py build
```
To install locally,

```bash
$ python setup.py build
```

## Package and Make available through pip

Requirements,

```bash
$ python3 -m pip install --user --upgrade setuptools wheel
$ python3 -m pip install --user --upgrade twine
```

Run following command from directory where setup.py is present.

```base
$ python3 setup.py sdist bdist_wheel
```

Upload the Distribution Archives to pip.org. This step will prompt you for username and password.

* username: `macrometaco`
* password: `poweruser!@#`

```bash
$ twine upload dist/*
```

You may need to use `sudo` depending on your environment.

## Getting Started

Here is a simple usage example:

```python

from c8 import C8Client

# Initialize the client for C8DB.
client = C8Client(protocol='http', host='localhost', port=8529)

# Connect to "_system" database as root user.
sys_db = client.db('_system', username='root', password='passwd')

# Create a new database named "test".
sys_db.create_database('test')

# Connect to "test" database as root user.
db = client.db('test', username='root', password='passwd')

# Create a new collection named "students".
students = db.create_collection('students')

# Add a hash index to the collection.
students.add_hash_index(fields=['name'], unique=True)

# Insert new documents into the collection.
students.insert({'name': 'jane', 'age': 39})
students.insert({'name': 'josh', 'age': 18})
students.insert({'name': 'judy', 'age': 21})

# Execute an C8QL query and iterate through the result cursor.
cursor = db.c8ql.execute('FOR doc IN students RETURN doc')
student_names = [document['name'] for document in cursor]

```

Here is a multi-tenancy example:

```python

from c8 import C8Client

# Initialize the client for C8DB.
client = C8Client(protocol='http', host='localhost', port=8529)

# Connect to "_system" database as root user in tenant "_mm".
sys_tenant = client.tenant(name='_mm', dbname='_system', username='root', password='poweruser')

# List all the tenants and DC list
sys_tenant.tenants()
sys_tenant.dclist()
sys_tenant.dclist_local() # Get local tenant DC list

# Create a new database named 'firefly'.
sys_tenant.create_tenant('firefly')

# Use newly created tenant 'firefly'.
tennt = client.tenant(name='firefly', dbname='_system', username='root', password='')

# Add new tenant user "captain_mal".
tennt.create_user(username="captain_mal", password='', active=True)

```

Here is another example with graphs:

```python

from c8 import C8Client

# Initialize the client for C8DB.
client = C8Client(protocol='http', host='localhost', port=8529)

# Connect to "test" database as root user.
db = client.db('test', username='root', password='passwd')

# Create a new graph named "school".
graph = db.create_graph('school')

# Create vertex collections for the graph.
students = graph.create_vertex_collection('students')
lectures = graph.create_vertex_collection('lectures')

# Create an edge definition (relation) for the graph.
register = graph.create_edge_definition(
edge_collection='register',
from_vertex_collections=['students'],
to_vertex_collections=['lectures']
)

# Insert vertex documents into "students" (from) vertex collection.
students.insert({'_key': '01', 'full_name': 'Anna Smith'})
students.insert({'_key': '02', 'full_name': 'Jake Clark'})
students.insert({'_key': '03', 'full_name': 'Lisa Jones'})

# Insert vertex documents into "lectures" (to) vertex collection.
lectures.insert({'_key': 'MAT101', 'title': 'Calculus'})
lectures.insert({'_key': 'STA101', 'title': 'Statistics'})
lectures.insert({'_key': 'CSC101', 'title': 'Algorithms'})

# Insert edge documents into "register" edge collection.
register.insert({'_from': 'students/01', '_to': 'lectures/MAT101'})
register.insert({'_from': 'students/01', '_to': 'lectures/STA101'})
register.insert({'_from': 'students/01', '_to': 'lectures/CSC101'})
register.insert({'_from': 'students/02', '_to': 'lectures/MAT101'})
register.insert({'_from': 'students/02', '_to': 'lectures/STA101'})
register.insert({'_from': 'students/03', '_to': 'lectures/CSC101'})

# Traverse the graph in outbound direction, breadth-first.
result = graph.traverse(
start_vertex='students/01',
direction='outbound',
strategy='breadthfirst'
)
```
