# TaylorDB Query Builder

The official TypeScript query builder for TaylorDB. It provides a type-safe, fluent, and intuitive API for building and executing queries against your TaylorDB database.

## Features

- **Type-Safe Queries**: Leverage your database schema for full type safety and autocompletion, catching errors at compile-time.
- **Fluent API**: A clean, chainable interface for building complex queries with ease.
- **Full CRUD Support**: Complete implementation for `select`, `insert`, `update`, and `delete` operations.
- **Advanced Filtering**: Filter data with a rich set of operators, nested conditions, and cross-table filters on relations.
- **Complex Selections**: Fetch related data using `with`, select specific columns, or get all columns with `selectAll`.
- **Pagination and Sorting**: Easily paginate and sort your query results.
- **Aggregation Queries**: Perform powerful aggregations with grouping and a variety of aggregate functions.
- **Batch Operations**: Execute multiple queries in a single, efficient request.
- **Real-time Subscriptions**: Subscribe to queries and receive live updates when data changes.

## Installation

```bash
npm install @taylordb/query-builder
```

## Getting Started

### 1. Generate TypeScript Types

First, you need to generate a `taylor.types.ts` file from your TaylorDB schema using the CLI. This file will contain the TypeScript definitions for your database schema, enabling the query builder's type-safety features.

```bash
npx @taylordb/cli generate-schema
```

### 2. Create a Query Builder Instance

Once you have your types file, you can create a new query builder instance.

```typescript
import { createQueryBuilder } from '@taylordb/query-builder';
import { TaylorDatabase } from './taylor.types'; // Import the generated types

const qb = createQueryBuilder<TaylorDatabase>({
  baseUrl: 'YOUR_TAYLORDB_BASE_URL',
  apiKey: 'YOUR_TAYLORDB_API_KEY',
});
```

## Usage

### Select Queries

#### Basic Select

Select specific columns from a table.

```typescript
const customers = await qb
  .selectFrom('customers')
  .select(['firstName', 'lastName', 'email'])
  .execute();
```

Use `selectAll()` to fetch all columns.

```typescript
const allCustomerData = await qb
  .selectFrom('customers')
  .selectAll()
  .execute();
```

#### Filtering

Use `where` and `orWhere` to filter your results.

```typescript
const johns = await qb
  .selectFrom('users')
  .select(['name', 'email'])
  .where('name', '=', 'John Doe')
  .orWhere('email', '=', 'john.doe@example.com')
  .execute();
```

You can also nest `where` clauses for complex logic.

```typescript
const users = await qb
  .selectFrom('users')
  .where(qb =>
    qb.where('role', '=', 'admin').orWhere('lastActive', '>', '2023-01-01')
  )
  .execute();
```

#### Fetching Relations

Include related records from linked tables using `with`.

```typescript
// Get users and all fields from their related posts
const usersWithPosts = await qb
  .selectFrom('users')
  .select(['id', 'name'])
  .with(['posts'])
  .execute();
```

You can also provide a function to customize the subquery for the relation.

```typescript
// Get users and only the title of their published posts
const usersWithPublishedPosts = await qb
  .selectFrom('users')
  .select(['id', 'name'])
  .with({
    posts: (qb) => qb.select(['title']).where('isPublished', '=', true),
  })
  .execute();
```

#### Cross-Table Filtering

Filter records based on conditions in a related table.

```typescript
// Get users who have at least one published post
const usersWithPublishedPosts = await qb
  .selectFrom('users')
  .where('posts', 'hasAnyOf', qb => qb.where('isPublished', '=', true))
  .execute();
```

#### Sorting and Pagination

```typescript
const users = await qb
  .selectFrom('users')
  .select(['id', 'name'])
  .orderBy('name', 'asc')
  .paginate(2, 25) // Page 2, 25 items per page
  .execute();
```

### Insert Queries

Insert single or multiple records. Use `returning` to get data back from the new records.

```typescript
const newUsers = await qb
  .insertInto('users')
  .values([
    { name: 'John Doe', email: 'john.doe@example.com' },
    { name: 'Jane Doe', email: 'jane.doe@example.com' },
  ])
  .returning(['id', 'name'])
  .execute();
```

### Update Queries

Update records matching a `where` clause.

```typescript
const { affectedRecords } = await qb
  .update('users')
  .set({ name: 'New Name' })
  .where('id', '=', 1)
  .execute();
```

### Delete Queries

Delete records matching a `where` clause.

```typescript
const { affectedRecords } = await qb
  .deleteFrom('users')
  .where('id', '=', 1)
  .execute();
```

### Aggregation Queries

Perform powerful aggregations on your data.

```typescript
const userStats = await qb
  .aggregateFrom('users')
  .groupBy('role', 'asc')
  .withAggregates({
    id: ['count'],
    age: ['avg', 'sum'],
  })
  .execute();
```

### Batch Queries

Execute multiple queries in a single request for improved performance.

```typescript
const [users, newUser] = await qb.batch([
  qb.selectFrom('users').select(['id', 'name']),
  qb.insertInto('users').values({ name: 'New User' }).returning(['id']),
]).execute();
```

### Real-time Subscriptions

Subscribe to queries and get real-time updates when data changes.

```typescript
const { unsubscribe } = await qb
  .selectFrom('users')
  .select(['id', 'name'])
  .subscribe((users) => {
    console.log('Users updated:', users);
  });

// To stop listening for updates
unsubscribe();
```
