Standard In

Quine fully supports reading from Standard In. Together with writing Standing Queries to Standard Out, Quine is a powerful tool for any command-line data processing task.

The following is a simple Recipe that ingests each line of input from Standard In as a node in the graph. It also uses a Standing Query to write every to Standard Out:

version: 1
title: Pipe
contributor: https://github.com/landon9720
summary: Ingest from Standard Input and writes to Standard Output
description: |-
  Ingests each line from Standard Input as a graph node with property "line".
  All graph nodes all written to Standard Output.
ingestStreams:
  - type: StandardInputIngest
    format:
      type: CypherLine
      query: |-
        MATCH (n)
        WHERE id(n) = idFrom($that)
        SET n.line = $that
standingQueries:
  - pattern:
      type: Cypher
      query: |-
        MATCH (n)
        RETURN DISTINCT id(n) AS id
    outputs:
      output-1:
        type: CypherQuery
        query: |-
          MATCH (n)
          WHERE id(n) = $that.data.id
          RETURN n.line AS line
        andThen:
          type: PrintToStandardOut

To run this Recipe, pipe data from other program into Quine. This example uses the Unix find program as a data source:

❯ java -jar quine-1.8.2.jar -r pipe.yaml
