Announcing the next major version of TinyBase 2.0! This is an exciting release that evolves TinyBase towards becoming a reactive, relational data store, complete with querying, sorting, and pagination. Here are a few of the highlights...

Query Engine

The flagship feature of this release is the new queries module. This allows you to build expressive queries against your data with a SQL-adjacent API that we've cheekily called TinyQL. The query engine lets you select, join, filter, group, sort and paginate data. And of course, it's all reactive!

The best way to see the power of this new engine is with the two new demos we've included this release:

  • The Car Analysis demo showcases the analytical query capabilities of TinyBase v2.0, grouping and sorting dimensional data for lightweight analytical usage, graphing, and tabular display. Try this demo here.
  • The Movie Database demo showcases the relational query capabilities of TinyBase v2.0, joining together information about movies, directors, and actors from across multiple source tables. Try this demo here.

Sorting and Pagination

To complement the query engine, you can now sort and paginate Row Ids. This makes it very easy to build grid-like user interfaces (also shown in the demos above). To achieve this, the Store now includes the getSortedRowIds method (and the addSortedRowIdsListener method for reactivity), and the Queries object includes the equivalent getResultSortedRowIds method and addResultSortedRowIdsListener method.

These are also exposed in the optional ui-react module via the useSortedRowIds hook, the useResultSortedRowIds hook, the SortedTableView component and the ResultSortedTableView component, and so on.

Queries in the ui-react module

The v2.0 query functionality is fully supported by the ui-react module (to match support for Store, Metrics, Indexes, and Relationship objects). The useCreateQueries hook memoizes the creation of app- or component-wide Query objects; and the useResultTable hook, useResultRow hook, useResultCell hook (and so on) let you bind you component to the results of a query.

This is, of course, supplemented with higher-level components: the ResultTableView component, the ResultRowView component, the ResultCellView component, and so on. See the Building A UI With Queries guide for more details.

It's a big release!

Thank you for all your support as we brought this important new release to life, and we hope you enjoy using it as much as we did building it. Please provide feedback via Github and Twitter!
