# Rico

Rico provides primative data types on Riak.

## Installation

Add rico to your Gemfile and `bundle install`:

```ruby
gem "rico"
```

## Usage

Instantiate a Rico object with a **bucket** and a **key** then perform operations.

Here's an example of how to use a set to manage a list of followed users:

```ruby
follows = Rico::Set.new "follows", @user.id

follows.member? @other_user.id  # => false

follows.add @other_user.id

follows.member? @other_user.id  # => true
follows.length                  # => 1

follows.remove @other_user.id

follows.member? @other_user.id  # => false
follows.length                  # => 0
```

## Configuration

By default, Rico uses a generic Riak::Client instance for operations. You can specify your own (perhaps inside of a rails initializer) like so:

```ruby
Rico.configure do |c|
  c.riak = Riak::Client.new(http_port: 1234, ...)
end
```

You can also provide a namespace to be used as a key prefix:

```ruby
Rico.configure do |c|
  c.namespace = "development"             # => "development:BUCKET:KEY"
  c.namespace = ["my_app", "production"]  # => "my_app:production:BUCKET:KEY"
end
```

## Data Types

**Arrays** - sequence of values

```ruby
a = Rico::Array.new "bucket", "key"
a.add [3, 1, 1, 4, 2]
a.members   # => [3, 1, 1, 4, 2]
a.length    # => 5
```

**Lists** - sorted sequence of values

```ruby
l = Rico::List.new "bucket", "key"
l.add [3, 1, 1, 4, 2]
l.members   # => [1, 1, 2, 3, 4]
l.length    # => 5
```

**Sets** - unique sequence of values

```ruby
s = Rico::Set.new "bucket", "key"
s.add [3, 1, 1, 4, 2]
s.members   # => [3, 1, 4, 2]
s.length    # => 4
```

**Sorted Sets** - unique, sorted sequence of values

```ruby
s = Rico::SortedSet.new "bucket", "key"
s.add [3, 1, 1, 4, 2]
s.members   # => [1, 2, 3, 4]
s.length    # => 4
```

**Values** - generic serialized values

```ruby
v = Rico::Value.new "bucket", "key"
v.exists?   # => false
v.get       # => nil
v.set "bob"
v.get       # => "bob"
v.exists?   # => true
```

## Notes

### Enumerable

Enumerable-looking types are indeed Enumerable

### Serialization

Data is serialized using the Riak client libary provided by Basho, which serializes values as JSON and sets a Content-Type value of "application/json"

### Persistence

Data is persisted at operation time. For example, List#add(5) will immediately update the record in Riak. It'd generally be wise to compute a list of values to be added or removed and then issue a single operation.

## TODO

- Automatic sibling resolution for simple types
- Ability to provide sibling resolution callback
