What is DataModel?

DataModel is a minimalistic, in-browser representation of tabular data. It supports Relational Algebra operators which enable you to run filter, group, bin, join (and many more) operations on the data.

DataModel can be used if you need an in-browser tabular data store for data analysis, visualization or just general use of data. Since DataModel is immutable and enables all relational algebra operations, it can work seamlessly with any JavaScript library.

Features

🎉 Supports Relational Algebra operators e.g. selection, projection, union, difference, join etc out-of-the-box.
🔨 Provides additional operators like bin, groupBy, calculateVariable to harness additional power of data transformation.
🎵 Compose and store data operations, with support for chaining or multiple levels of nesting.
💎 Every operation creates Immutable DataModel instance and builds a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) which establishes auto interactivity.

Installation

CDN

Insert the DataModel build into the <head>:

<script src="https://cdn.muzejs.org/lib/datamodel/latest/datamodel.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

NPM

Install DataModel from NPM:

$ npm install --save datamodel

Getting started

Prepare the data and the corresponding schema:

// Prepare the schema for data
const schema = [
  {
    name: 'Name',
    type: 'dimension'
  },
  {
    name: 'Maker',
    type: 'dimension'
  },
  {
    name: 'Horsepower',
    type: 'measure',
    defAggFn: 'avg'
  },
  {
    name: 'Origin',
    type: 'dimension'
  }
]

// Prepare the data
const data = [
   {
    "Name": "chevrolet chevelle malibu",
    "Maker": "chevrolet",
    "Horsepower": 130,
    "Origin": "USA"
  },
  {
    "Name": "buick skylark 320",
    "Maker": "buick",
    "Horsepower": 165,
    "Origin": "USA"
  },
  {
    "Name": "datsun pl510",
    "Maker": "datsun",
    "Horsepower": 88,
    "Origin": "Japan"
  }
]

Pass the data and schema to DataModel constructor and create a new DataModel instance:

import DataModel from 'datamodel';

// Create a new DataModel instance
const dm = new DataModel(data, schema);
console.log(dm.getData().data);
// Output:
//  [
//     ["chevrolet chevelle malibu", "chevrolet", 130, "USA"],
//     ["buick skylark 320", "buick", 165, "USA"],
//     ["datsun pl510", "datsun", 88, "Japan"]
//  ]


// Perform the selection operation
const selectDm = dm.select((fields) => fields.Origin.value === "USA");
console.log(selectDm.getData().data);
// Output:
//  [
//     ["chevrolet chevelle malibu", "chevrolet", 130, "USA],
//     ["buick skylark 320", "buick", 165, "USA]
//  ]

// Perform the projection operation
const projectDm = dm.project(["Origin", "Maker"]);
console.log(projectDm.getData().data);
// Output:
//  [
//     ["USA", "chevrolet"],
//     ["USA", "buick"],
//     ["Japan", "datsun"]
//  ]
console.log(projectDm.getData().schema);
// Output:
//  [
//     {"name": "Origin","type": "dimension"},
//     {"name": "Maker","type": "dimension"}
//  ]
