View Source Paradex (Paradex v0.3.1)

A collection of macros for composing ParadeDB queries.

Summary

Macros

Returns the BM25 search score for each result, aliasing it as pdb_score in the query. Can be used with score/0 to order results

Same as score/1 but uses a variable for the alias instead. Does not support literals.

Macro for the @@@ full text search operator.

Range queries

Macro for paradedb.range using the date data type.

Macro for paradedb.range using the int4 data type.

Macro for paradedb.range using the int8 data type.

Macro for paradedb.range using the timestamp data type.

Functions

Type extensions for Postgrex, for usage in Postgrex.Types.define/3.

score(key_field)

View Source (macro)

Returns the BM25 search score for each result, aliasing it as pdb_score in the query. Can be used with score/0 to order results:

from(
  c in Call,
  select: {c, score(c.id)},
  where: c.transcript ~> "mechanic",
  order_by: [desc: score()]
)
Link to this macro

score_as(key_field, as)

View Source (macro)

Same as score/1 but uses a variable for the alias instead. Does not support literals.

score_alias = "my_score"

from(
  c in Call,
  select: {c, score_as(c.id, ^score_alias)},
  where: c.transcript ~> "mechanic",
  order_by: [desc: score_as(^score_alias)]
)

snippet(field, start_tag \\ "<b>", end_tag \\ "</b>", max_num_chars \\ 150)

View Source (macro)

Macro for paradedb.snippet, used for highlighting.

from(
  c in Call,
  select: {c, snippet(c.transcript)},
  where: c.transcript ~> "mechanic"
)
Link to this macro

field ~> query

View Source (macro)

Macro for the @@@ full text search operator.

~> is used as it's one of a few infix operators Elixir's capable of parsing, but aren't presently used.

Examples

Search queries can be run on fields directly:

import Paradex

from(
  c in Call,
  where: c.transcript ~> "bus"
)

Alternatively a key field and query object can be used for advanced queries:

from(
  c in Call,
  where: c.id ~> disjunction_max([
    parse("transcript:bus"),
    int4range("call_length", 10, nil, "[)")
  ])
)

Term-level queries

fuzzy_term(field, value, distance \\ 2, transpose_cost_one \\ true, prefix \\ false)

View Source (macro)

Macro for paradedb.fuzzy_term.

from(

  where: c.id ~> fuzzy_term("transcript", "bus", 2, true, false)
)

pdb_exists(field)

View Source (macro)

Macro for paradedb.exists.

Prefixed with pdb_ to avoid conflicting with Ecto.Query.API.exists/1.

from(
  c in Call,
  where: c.id ~> pdb_exists("call_length")
)

range_term(field, value)

View Source (macro)

Macro for paradedb.range_term.

regex(field, pattern)

View Source (macro)

Macro for paradedb.regex. Be mindful that these regular expressions follow Tantivy's syntax, which follows Rust's regex crate with a few variations.

from(
  c in Call,
  where: c.id ~> regex("transcript", "(stop|route)")
)
Link to this macro

term(field, value)

View Source (macro)

Macro for paradedb.term.

Macro for paradedb.term_set.

boolean(queries)

View Source (macro)

Macro for paradedb.boolean.

    must: [parse(^x)],
    must_not: [parse("transcript:station")]
  )
)

Keys other than must, should, and must_not are ignored, so be wary of misspelling.
