Koncorde

This module is a reverse-search engine.

Instead of indexing data and searching for them using filters, Koncorde does the opposite: it indexes search filters, and returns the corresponding ones when presented with data.

  • an arbitrary large number of filters can be registered and indexed;
  • whenever data are submitted to Koncorde, it returns the list of indexed filters matching them;
  • Koncorde's filter syntax supports a variety of different matchers, and ways to combine them.

Koncorde can be used in a variety of ways. For instance:

  • as a base of a notification system, where indexed filters are used as user subscriptions: Koncorde tells which JSON objects verify what subscriptions, making it easy to send events to listening users;
  • to verify if JSON objects comply to filters used as validation rules.

Check our full documentation to know more about Koncorde's API, filter syntax, and more.

Quick start example

In the following example, we'll listen to objects containing a position property, describing a geopoint. We want that geopoint to be 500 meters around a pre-defined starting position.

This can be described by the following Koncorde filter:

{
    "geoDistance": {
        "position": {
            "lat": 43.6073913,
            "lon": 3.9109057
        },
        "distance": "500m"
    }
}

All you need to do now is to register this filter to the engine, and use it to test data:

import { Koncorde } from 'koncorde';

const engine = new Koncorde();

const filter = {
    geoDistance: {
        position: {
            lat: 43.6073913,
            lon: 3.9109057
        },
        distance: "500m"
    }
};

const filterId = engine.register(filter);

// Filter Identifiers are seeded. Given the same seed (to be provided to the
// constructor), then the filter IDs stay stable.
console.log(`Filter identifier: ${filterId}`);

// No match found, returns an empty array (distance is greater than 500m)
console.log(engine.test({ position: { lat: 43.6073913, lon: 5.7 } }));

// Point within the filter's scope: returns the list of matched filters
// Here we registered just one of them, so the array contains only 1 filter ID
console.log(engine.test({ position: { lat: 43.608, lon: 3.905 } }));

// No match found, returns an empty array 
// (the geopoint in the provided data is not stored in the tested field)
console.log(engine.test({ not_position: { lat: 43.608, lon: 3.905 } }));

Install

This library is compatible with Node.js version 12.x or higher. Both a C and a C++ compilers are needed to install its dependencies: Koncorde cannot be used in a browser.

Koncorde is compatible with either Javascript or Typescript projects.

To install:

npm install koncorde
