ixa/people/mod.rs
1//! A generic mechanism for representing people and associated data.
2//!
3//! We have a set of people indexed by [`PersonId`] and then each person
4//! can have an arbitrary number of person properties
5//! [`PersonProperty`], which are values keyed by a type. Person
6//! properties are defined with a macro ([`define_person_property!()`]
7//! or [`define_person_property_with_default!()`])
8//!
9//! # Initializing Person Properties
10//!
11//! Person properties can have their initial values set in several ways:
12//!
13//! * An initial value can be provided at person creation time in
14//! [`Context::add_person()`].
15//! * The property can have a default value (provided when the
16//! property is defined.)
17//! * The property can have an initializer function (provided when
18//! the property is defined) that is called lazily when the
19//! property is first accessed.
20//!
21//! If neither a default or an initializer is provided, then you
22//! must provide an initial value for each person on person
23//! creation. Failure to do so will generally cause failure of
24//! [`Context::add_person()`].
25//!
26//! # Setting Person Properties
27//!
28//! Properties can also have their values changed with [`Context::set_person_property()`].
29//! If the property is not initialized yet, this will implicitly call the
30//! initializer (or set the default) and then reset the value.
31//!
32//! # Derived Properties
33//!
34//! It is also possible to have a "derived property" whose value is
35//! computed based on a set of other properties. When a derived
36//! property is defined, you must supply a function that takes the
37//! values for those dependencies and computes the current value
38//! of the property. Note that this function cannot access the context
39//! directly and therefore cannot read any other properties. It also
40//! should have a consistent result for any set of inputs, because
41//! it may be called multiple times with those inputs, depending
42//! on the program structure.
43//!
44//! # Change Events
45//!
46//! Whenever a person property `E` has potentially changed, either
47//! because it was set directly or because it is a derived property
48//! and one of its dependencies changed, a
49//! [`PersonPropertyChangeEvent<E>`] will be emitted. Note that Ixa does
50//! not currently check that the new value is actually different from the old value,
51//! so calling [`Context::set_person_property()`] will always emit an event.
52//! Initialization is not considered a change, but [`Context::set_person_property()`]
53//! on a lazily initialized event will emit an event for the change from
54//! the initialized value to the new value.
55//!
56//! # Querying
57//!
58//! Person properties provides an interface to query for people matching
59//! a given set of properties. The basic syntax is to supply a set of
60//! (property, value) pairs, like so `query_people(((Age, 30), (Gender, Female)))`.
61//! Note that these need to be wrapped in an extra set of parentheses
62//! to make them a single tuple to pass to [`Context::query_people()`]. Queries implement
63//! strict equality, so if you want a fancier predicate you need to implement
64//! a derived property that computes it and then query over the derived property.
65//!
66//! The internals of query are deliberately opaque in that Ixa may or
67//! may not ordinarily choose to create caches or indexes for
68//! queries. However, you force an index to be created for a single
69//! property by using [`Context::index_property()`].
