Querying with Filters

All ekoDB client libraries provide a QueryBuilder for constructing complex queries with filters, sorting, and pagination using a fluent API.

Simple Query

🦀 Rust

use ekodb_client::{Client, QueryBuilder};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let client = Client::builder()
        .base_url("https://my-first-db.development.google.ekodb.net")
        .api_key("YOUR_API_KEY")
        .build()?;

    // Find active users
    let query = QueryBuilder::new()
        .eq("status", "active")
        .build();

    let result = client.find("users", query, None).await?;
    println!("{:?}", result);
    Ok(())
}

🐍 Python

from ekodb_client import Client, QueryBuilder

client = Client.new(
    "https://my-first-db.development.google.ekodb.net",
    "YOUR_API_KEY"
)

# Find active users
query = QueryBuilder() \
    .eq("status", "active") \
    .build()

result = await client.find("users", query)
print(result)

📘 TypeScript

import { EkoDBClient, QueryBuilder } from '@ekodb/ekodb-client';

const client = new EkoDBClient({
  baseURL: "https://my-first-db.development.google.ekodb.net",
  apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY"
});
await client.init();

// Find active users
const query = new QueryBuilder()
  .eq("status", "active")
  .build();

const result = await client.find("users", query);
console.log(result);

📦 JavaScript

const { EkoDBClient, QueryBuilder } = require('@ekodb/ekodb-client');

const client = new EkoDBClient({
  baseURL: "https://my-first-db.development.google.ekodb.net",
  apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY"
});
await client.init();

// Find active users
const query = new QueryBuilder()
  .eq("status", "active")
  .build();

const result = await client.find("users", query);
console.log(result);

🟣 Kotlin

import io.ekodb.client.EkoDBClient
import io.ekodb.client.QueryBuilder

suspend fun main() {
    val client = EkoDBClient.builder()
        .baseUrl("https://my-first-db.development.google.ekodb.net")
        .apiKey("YOUR_API_KEY")
        .build()

    // Find active users
    val query = QueryBuilder()
        .eq("status", "active")
        .build()

    val result = client.find("users", query)
    println(result)
}

🔷 Go

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "github.com/ekoDB/ekodb-client-go"
)

func main() {
    client := ekodb.NewClient(
        "https://my-first-db.development.google.ekodb.net",
        "YOUR_API_KEY",
    )

    // Find active users
    query := ekodb.NewQueryBuilder().
        Eq("status", "active").
        Build()

    result, err := client.Find("users", query)
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
    fmt.Println(result)
}

Complex Query

Find active users aged 18-65 with gmail addresses, sorted by creation date:

🦀 Rust

let query = QueryBuilder::new()
    .eq("status", "active")
    .gte("age", 18)
    .lte("age", 65)
    .contains("email", "@gmail.com")
    .sort_desc("created_at")
    .limit(20)
    .build();

let result = client.find("users", query, None).await?;

🐍 Python

query = QueryBuilder() \
    .eq("status", "active") \
    .gte("age", 18) \
    .lte("age", 65) \
    .contains("email", "@gmail.com") \
    .sort_desc("created_at") \
    .limit(20) \
    .build()

result = await client.find("users", query)

📘 TypeScript

const query = new QueryBuilder()
  .eq("status", "active")
  .gte("age", 18)
  .lte("age", 65)
  .contains("email", "@gmail.com")
  .sortDesc("created_at")
  .limit(20)
  .build();

const result = await client.find("users", query);

📦 JavaScript

const query = new QueryBuilder()
  .eq("status", "active")
  .gte("age", 18)
  .lte("age", 65)
  .contains("email", "@gmail.com")
  .sortDesc("created_at")
  .limit(20)
  .build();

const result = await client.find("users", query);

🟣 Kotlin

val query = QueryBuilder()
    .eq("status", "active")
    .gte("age", 18)
    .lte("age", 65)
    .contains("email", "@gmail.com")
    .sortDesc("created_at")
    .limit(20)
    .build()

val result = client.find("users", query)

🔷 Go

query := ekodb.NewQueryBuilder().
    Eq("status", "active").
    Gte("age", 18).
    Lte("age", 65).
    Contains("email", "@gmail.com").
    SortDescending("created_at").
    Limit(20).
    Build()

result, err := client.Find("users", query)
