Mix.install([
{:terminusdb_client, "~> 0.3.3"}
])
Setup
Start a TerminusDB server first:
docker run -d --name terminusdb -p 6363:6363 -e TERMINUSDB_ADMIN_PASS=root terminusdb/terminusdb-server:latest
Then wait for it to be ready:
endpoint = "http://localhost:6363"
# Wait for the server to be ready
for _ <- 1..30 do
case Req.get("#{endpoint}/api/ok") do
{:ok, %{status: 200}} -> :ok
_ -> Process.sleep(1000)
end
end
[:ok, :ok, :ok, :ok, :ok, :ok, :ok, :ok, :ok, :ok, :ok, :ok, :ok, :ok, :ok, :ok, :ok, :ok, :ok, :ok,
:ok, :ok, :ok, :ok, :ok, :ok, :ok, :ok, :ok, :ok]
1. Configuration
alias TerminusDB.{Config, Database, Document, Schema, Branch, Client}
config = Config.new(endpoint: endpoint)
%TerminusDB.Config{
endpoint: "http://localhost:6363",
token: nil,
user: "admin",
key: "root",
organization: "admin",
database: nil,
branch: "main",
repo: "local",
ref: nil,
adapter: nil,
headers: %{},
receive_timeout: 15000,
telemetry: true,
user_agent: "terminusdb_ex/0.3.3"
}
# Inspect auth
Config.auth(config)
{:basic, "admin:root"}
# Redact secrets for safe logging
Config.redact(config)
%TerminusDB.Config{
endpoint: "http://localhost:6363",
token: nil,
user: "admin",
key: "[redacted]",
organization: "admin",
database: nil,
branch: "main",
repo: "local",
ref: nil,
adapter: nil,
headers: %{},
receive_timeout: 15000,
telemetry: true,
user_agent: "terminusdb_ex/0.3.3"
}
2. Database management
# Create a database with a schema graph
db_name = "livebook_demo"
if Database.exists?(config, db_name) do
{:ok, _} = Database.delete(config, db_name, force: true)
end
{:ok, _} =
Database.create(config, db_name,
label: "Livebook Demo",
comment: "A database for the livebook walkthrough",
schema: true
)
{:ok,
%{
"@type" => "api:DbCreateResponse",
"api:database_uri" => "terminusdb://system/data/UserDatabase/SmeaEIKVI6YM7zn3",
"api:status" => "api:success"
}}
# Check it exists
Database.exists?(config, db_name)
true
# List all databases
{:ok, dbs} = Database.list(config)
{:ok, [%{"path" => "admin/livebook_demo-tester"}, %{"path" => "admin/livebook_demo"}]}
3. Document operations
Scope the config to the database:
config = Config.with_database(config, db_name)
%TerminusDB.Config{
endpoint: "http://localhost:6363",
token: nil,
user: "admin",
key: "root",
organization: "admin",
database: "livebook_demo",
branch: "main",
repo: "local",
ref: nil,
adapter: nil,
headers: %{},
receive_timeout: 15000,
telemetry: true,
user_agent: "terminusdb_ex/0.3.3"
}

{:ok, ["terminusdb:///data/Person/mWqqWA7AmhotGfCe", "terminusdb:///data/Person/-9MoNh4h976kbIRe"]}
Retrieve documents
{:ok, docs} = Document.get(config, type: "Person", as_list: true)
Enum.map(docs, & &1["name"])

{:ok, matches} =
Document.query(config, %{"@type" => "Person", "age" => 28})
Enum.map(matches, & &1["name"])
["Carol"]
{:ok, person} = Document.get(config, id: alice_id, as_list: false)
{:ok, _} =
Document.replace(config,
Map.put(person, "age", 31),
author: "admin",
message: "Happy birthday Alice"
)
{:ok, _updated_person} = Document.get(config, id: alice_id, as_list: false)
{:ok,
%{

{:ok, _frame} = Schema.frame(config, "Person")
{:ok,
%{"@type" => "Class", "age" => "xsd:integer", "email" => "xsd:string", "name" => "xsd:string"}}
{:ok, all} = Schema.all(config)
Map.keys(all)
["Person"]
5. Branches
# Create a branch
{:ok, _} = Branch.create(config, "feature-x")
{:ok, %{"@type" => "api:BranchResponse", "api:status" => "api:success"}}
# It exists

false
# Delete the branch
{:ok, _} = Branch.delete(config, "feature-x")

|> Stream.map(& &1["name"])
|> Enum.to_list()
["Alice", "Alice", "Carol"]
7. Telemetry
:telemetry.attach_many(
"livebook-telemetry",
[[:terminusdb, :document, :stop], [:terminusdb, :database, :stop]],
fn _event, measurements, meta, _ctx ->
duration_ms = System.convert_time_unit(measurements[:duration] || 0, :native, :millisecond)
IO.puts("[#{meta.area}] #{meta.method} #{meta.path} -> #{meta.status} (#{duration_ms}ms)")
end,
nil
)
19:30:10.866 [info] The function passed as a handler with ID "livebook-telemetry" is a local function.
This means that it is either an anonymous function or a capture of a function without a module specified. That may cause a performance penalty when calling that handler. For more details see the note in `telemetry:attach/4` documentation.
https://hexdocs.pm/telemetry/telemetry.html#attach/4
:ok
# Now operations emit telemetry events
{:ok, _} = Document.insert(config,
%{"@type" => "Person", "name" => "Eve", "age" => 35, "email" => "eve@example.com"},
author: "admin",
message: "Add Eve"
)
[document] post document/admin/livebook_demo/local/branch/main -> 200 (34ms)
{:ok, ["terminusdb:///data/Person/IntZyco3cFStgR1I"]}
[document] :post document/admin/livebook_demo -> 200 (15ms)
:telemetry.detach("livebook-telemetry")
:ok
8. Error handling
# Tuple-returning (non-raising)
case Database.create(config, "livebook_demo", label: "Duplicate") do
{:ok, _} ->
IO.puts("Created (unexpected)")
{:error, %{reason: :api, api_type: "api:DatabaseAlreadyExists"} = e} ->
IO.puts("Expected error: #{Exception.message(e)}")
{:error, %{reason: :api} = e} ->
IO.puts("Other API error: #{Exception.message(e)}")
{:error, e} ->
IO.puts("Other error: #{inspect(e)}")
end
Expected error: TerminusDB API error 400 (api:DatabaseAlreadyExists): Database already exists.
:ok
# Raising variant
try do
Database.create!(config, "livebook_demo", label: "Duplicate")
rescue
e in TerminusDB.Error ->
IO.puts("Raised as expected: #{Exception.message(e)}")
end
Raised as expected: TerminusDB API error 400 (api:DatabaseAlreadyExists): Database already exists.
:ok
9. Raw client
# Direct access to any endpoint
{:ok, info} = Client.request(config, :get, "info")
info["api:info"]["terminusdb"]["version"]
"12.0.6"
Cleanup
{:ok, _} = Database.delete(config, "livebook_demo", force: true)
{:ok, %{"@type" => "api:DbDeleteResponse", "api:status" => "api:success"}}
# Stop the container
# System.cmd("docker", ["stop", "terminusdb"])
# System.cmd("docker", ["rm", "terminusdb"])
