NAME

write-tree - (tree)

PURPOSE

Insert a key/value pair into a tree.

SYNTAX

write-tree <tree> key <key> value <value> \

[ status <status> ] \
[ new-cursor <cursor> ]

DESCRIPTION

write-tree inserts string <key> and associated string <value> into <tree> created by new-tree.

If <key> already exists in <tree>, <status> (in "status" clause) will be GG_ERR_EXIST and nothing is inserted into <tree>, otherwise it is GG_OKAY.

If "new-cursor" clause is used, then a <cursor> will be positioned on a newly inserted tree node. You can use use-cursor to iterate to nodes with lesser and greater key values.

EXAMPLES

Insert key "k" with value "d" into "mytree", and obtain status in "st":

write-tree mytree key k value d status st

The following is an example of a process-scoped tree. Such a tree keeps its data across the requests, for as long as the process is alive.

In a new directory, create file treesrv.golf and copy to it:

%% /treesrv public

do-once
new-tree t process-scope
end-do-once
// Get input parameters
get-param op
get-param key
get-param data
if-true op equal "add" // Add data to tree
write-tree t key (key) value data status st
if-true st equal GG_OKAY
@Added [<<print-out key>>]
else-if
@Key exists
end-if
else-if op equal "delete" // Delete data and obtain the value deleted
delete-tree t key (key) value val status st
if-true st equal GG_ERR_EXIST
@Not found [<<print-out key>>]
else-if
// If found, then delete key and value
@Deleted [<<print-out val>>]
delete-string val
end-if
else-if op equal "query" // Query tree based on key value
read-tree t equal (key) value val status st
if-true st equal GG_ERR_EXIST
@Not found, queried [<<print-out key>>]
else-if
@Value [<<print-out val>>]
end-if
end-if %%

Create new application ("pt" for "process tree"):

sudo mgrg -i -u $(whoami) pt

Build application:

gg -q

Run the tree service:

mgrg -w 1 pt

Try it out, add key/value pairs, query, delete, query again:

# Add key=1 and data=d1
$ gg -r --req="/treesrv/op=add/key=1/data=d1" --service --exec --silent-header
Added [1]
# Add key=2 and data=d2
$ gg -r --req="/treesrv/op=add/key=2/data=d2" --service --exec --silent-header
Added [2]
# Query key=1
$ gg -r --req="/treesrv/op=query/key=1" --service --exec --silent-header
Value [d1]
# Query key=2
i$ gg -r --req="/treesrv/op=query/key=2" --service --exec --silent-header
Value [d2]
# Delete key=2
$ gg -r --req="/treesrv/op=delete/key=2" --service --exec --silent-header
Deleted [d2]
# Query key=2
$ gg -r --req="/treesrv/op=query/key=2" --service --exec --silent-header
Not found, queried [2]
