Gaelyk:如何对集合属性执行数据存储查询

Question

Gaelyk tutorial为数据存储提供了一些很好的低级包装器，this Gaelyk google groups article描述了一种简单的关系建模方法，只需将键存储在实体上的集合中即可。

我的问题是如何对集合中的值执行查询？下面是一些示例代码来说明...

def b1 = new Entity("Book")
b1.title = "Book1"
b1.save()

def b2 = new Entity("Book")
b2.title = "Book2"
b2.save()

def author1 = new Entity("Author")  
author1.books = [b1.key, b2.key]
author1.name = "Chris"
author1.save()

// It is easy to simply query the Author entity for a standard string property
def query = new Query("Author")
query.addFilter("name", Query.FilterOperator.EQUAL, "Chris")
PreparedQuery preparedQuery = datastore.prepare(query)
def authors = preparedQuery.asList(withLimit(1))
assert authors[0].name == "Chris"

// But I can't find out how to query a collection property eg books on the Author entity
def query2 = new Query("Author")
// I would like to do something to return the entity if the value is in the collection property
// eg if there could be something like 'CONTAINS' criteria ...
// Unfortunately Query.FilterOperator.CONTAINS doesn't exist...
query2.addFilter("books", Query.FilterOperator.CONTAINS, b2.key)
PreparedQuery preparedQuery2 = datastore.prepare(query2)
def authors2 = preparedQuery2.asList(withLimit(1))
assert authors2[0].name == "Chris"

如何创建在实体的集合属性中搜索匹配项的查询？例如，如何重新创建上面虚构的'FilterOperator.CONTAINS‘查询的功能？

Answer 1

回答只是为了方便以后登陆这个页面的用户：

Query.FilterOperator.EQUAL还将在键列表中查找(在列表的情况下，它的工作方式与CONTAINS相同)。所以现在你的第二个例子看起来像这样：

def query2 = new Query("Author")
query2.addFilter("books", Query.FilterOperator.EQUAL, b2.key)
PreparedQuery preparedQuery2 = datastore.prepare(query2)
def authors2 = preparedQuery2.asList(withLimit(1))
assert authors2[0].name == "Chris"

并且断言通过:)

乍一看，这看起来很奇怪，但它确实是DataStore的一个很好的特性。

要做到这一点，一种方法是将作者键作为实体"Book“中的一个字段。因此，您可以先查询该书，然后再获取其作者。

def author1 = new Entity("Author")  
author1.name = "Chris"
author1.save()

def b1 = new Entity("Book")
b1.title = "Book1"
b1.authors = [author1.key]
b1.save()

author1.books = [ b1.key ]
author1.save()

def book = datastore.get(b1.key)    
def chrisAuthors = book.authors.findAll { authorKey -> datastore.get(authorKey).name == 'Chris' }
assert chrisAuthors.size() == 1

顺便提一下，关于这个主题的一点更新:你可能想看看最近发布的Gaelyk1.0的新的查询DSL特性。

这应该会简化很多针对数据存储的查询。
