AsterixDB Javascript SDK

Obtaining and Including

Download the javascript SDK and include it like any other javascript library by adding the following line in the appropriate HTML file:

<script src="path/to/asterix-sdk-stable.js"></script>

Interactive Demos

There are two interactive demos that are available for download. Both of the demos illustrate how the javascript API would be used in an application:

  • Tweetbook Demo: a contrived geo-spatial application dealing with artificial Tweets allowing spatial, temporal, and keyword-based filtering.
  • ADM/AQL 101 Demo: an interactive version of all of the examples that are provided in the following section.

The javascript SDK: by example

In this section, we explore how to form AQL queries using the javascript SDK. The queries from AsterixDB 101: An ADM and AQL Primer are used as examples here. For each AQL statement, the equivalent javascript expression is shown below it, followed by the results of executing the query.

Query 0-A - Exact-Match Lookup

AQL

    .WhereClause(new AExpression("$user.id = 8"))
    .ReturnClause("$user");
