# `Plushie.Data`
[🔗](https://github.com/plushie-ui/plushie-elixir/blob/v0.6.0/lib/plushie/data.ex#L1)

Query pipeline for in-memory record collections. Pure functions
supporting filter, search, sort, group, and pagination.

All operations are applied in order: filter, search, sort, then paginate.
Grouping is applied to the paginated results.

## Example

    records = [
      %{name: "Alice", age: 30},
      %{name: "Bob", age: 25},
      %{name: "Carol", age: 35}
    ]

    result = Plushie.Data.query(records,
      filter: &(&1.age > 24),
      sort: {:asc, :name},
      page: 1,
      page_size: 10
    )

    result.entries
    #=> [%{name: "Alice", age: 30}, %{name: "Bob", age: 25}, %{name: "Carol", age: 35}]
    result.total
    #=> 3

# `result`

```elixir
@type result() :: %{
  entries: [map()],
  total: non_neg_integer(),
  page: pos_integer(),
  page_size: pos_integer(),
  groups: %{optional(term()) => [map()]} | nil
}
```

Query result with paginated entries, total count, and optional grouping.

# `query`

```elixir
@spec query(records :: [map()], opts :: keyword()) :: result()
```

Queries a list of records with optional filtering, searching, sorting,
grouping, and pagination.

## Options

- `:filter` -- a function `(record -> boolean)` to filter records.
- `:search` -- a `{fields, query_string}` tuple. `fields` is a list of
  map keys to search; `query_string` is case-insensitive substring-matched.
- `:sort` -- a `{direction, field}` tuple or list of tuples.
  Direction is `:asc` or `:desc`. Field is a map key.
- `:group` -- a map key to group paginated results by.
- `:page` -- page number (1-based). Default: 1.
- `:page_size` -- records per page. Default: 25.

Returns a result map with `:entries`, `:total`, `:page`, and `:page_size`.
If `:group` is specified, `:groups` is also included.
