CII Best Practices

Implementation of directed acyclic graphs (DAGs).

The implementation is fast and thread-safe. It prevents adding cycles or duplicates and thereby always maintains a valid DAG. The implementation caches descendants and ancestors to speed up subsequent calls.

Quickstart

Running:

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/venom90/dag"
)

func main() {

	// initialize a new graph
	d := NewDAG()

	// init three vertices
	v1, _ := d.AddVertex(1)
	v2, _ := d.AddVertex(2)
	v3, _ := d.AddVertex(struct{a string; b string}{a: "foo", b: "bar"})

	// add the above vertices and connect them with two edges
	_ = d.AddEdge(v1, v2)
	_ = d.AddEdge(v1, v3)

	// describe the graph
	fmt.Print(d.String())
}

will result in something like:

DAG Vertices: 3 - Edges: 2
Vertices:
  1
  2
  {foo bar}
Edges:
  1 -> 2
  1 -> {foo bar}

Documentation

Overview

Package dag implements directed acyclic graphs (DAGs).

Example
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/venom90/dag"
)

type foobar struct {
	a string
	b string
}

func main() {

	// initialize a new graph
	d := dag.NewDAG()

	// init three vertices
	v1, _ := d.AddVertex(1)
	v2, _ := d.AddVertex(2)
	v3, _ := d.AddVertex(foobar{a: "foo", b: "bar"})

	// add the above vertices and connect them with two edges
	_ = d.AddEdge(v1, v2)
	_ = d.AddEdge(v1, v3)

	// describe the graph
	fmt.Print(d.String())

}
Output:

DAG Vertices: 3 - Edges: 2
Vertices:
  1
  2
  {foo bar}
Edges:
  1 -> 2
  1 -> {foo bar}

Types

type DAG

type DAG struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

DAG implements the data structure of the DAG.

func NewDAG

func NewDAG() *DAG

NewDAG creates / initializes a new DAG.

func UnmarshalJSON

func UnmarshalJSON(data []byte, wd StorableDAG) (*DAG, error)

UnmarshalJSON parses the JSON-encoded data that defined by StorableDAG. It returns a new DAG defined by the vertices and edges of wd. If the internal structure of data and wd do not match, then deserialization will fail and return json error.

Because the vertex data passed in by the user is an interface{}, it does not indicate a specific structure, so it cannot be deserialized. And this function needs to pass in a clear DAG structure.

Example: dag := NewDAG() data, err := json.Marshal(d)

if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}

var wd YourStorableDAG restoredDag, err := UnmarshalJSON(data, &wd)

if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}

For more specific information please read the test code.

func (*DAG) AddEdge

func (d *DAG) AddEdge(srcID, dstID string) error

AddEdge adds an edge between srcID and dstID. AddEdge returns an error, if srcID or dstID are empty strings or unknown, if the edge already exists, or if the new edge would create a loop.

func (*DAG) AddVertex

func (d *DAG) AddVertex(v interface{}) (string, error)

AddVertex adds the vertex v to the DAG. AddVertex returns an error, if v is nil, v is already part of the graph, or the id of v is already part of the graph.

func (*DAG) AddVertexByID

func (d *DAG) AddVertexByID(id string, v interface{}) error

AddVertexByID adds the vertex v and the specified id to the DAG. AddVertexByID returns an error, if v is nil, v is already part of the graph, or the specified id is already part of the graph.

func (*DAG) AncestorsWalker

func (d *DAG) AncestorsWalker(id string) (chan string, chan bool, error)

AncestorsWalker returns a channel and subsequently returns / walks all ancestors of the vertex with id id in a breath first order. The second channel returned may be used to stop further walking. AncestorsWalker returns an error, if id is empty or unknown.

Note, there is no order between sibling vertices. Two consecutive runs of AncestorsWalker may return different results.

Example
dag := NewDAG()

v1, _ := dag.AddVertex(iVertex{1})
v2, _ := dag.AddVertex(iVertex{2})
v3, _ := dag.AddVertex(iVertex{3})
v4, _ := dag.AddVertex(iVertex{4})
v5, _ := dag.AddVertex(iVertex{5})
_ = dag.AddEdge(v1, v2)
_ = dag.AddEdge(v2, v3)
_ = dag.AddEdge(v2, v4)
_ = dag.AddEdge(v4, v5)

var ancestors []interface{}
vertices, signal, _ := dag.AncestorsWalker(v5)
for v := range vertices {
	ancestors = append(ancestors, v)
	if v == v2 {
		signal <- true
		break
	}
}
fmt.Printf("%v", ancestors)
Output:

  [4 2]

func (*DAG) BFSWalk

func (d *DAG) BFSWalk(visitor Visitor)

BFSWalk implements the Breadth-First-Search algorithm to traverse the entire DAG. It starts at the tree root and explores all nodes at the present depth prior to moving on to the nodes at the next depth level.

func (*DAG) Copy

func (d *DAG) Copy() (newDAG *DAG, err error)

Copy returns a copy of the DAG.

func (*DAG) DFSWalk

func (d *DAG) DFSWalk(visitor Visitor)

DFSWalk implements the Depth-First-Search algorithm to traverse the entire DAG. The algorithm starts at the root node and explores as far as possible along each branch before backtracking.

func (*DAG) DeleteEdge

func (d *DAG) DeleteEdge(srcID, dstID string) error

DeleteEdge deletes the edge between srcID and dstID. DeleteEdge returns an error, if srcID or dstID are empty or unknown, or if, there is no edge between srcID and dstID.

func (*DAG) DeleteVertex

func (d *DAG) DeleteVertex(id string) error

DeleteVertex deletes the vertex with the given id. DeleteVertex also deletes all attached edges (inbound and outbound). DeleteVertex returns an error, if id is empty or unknown.

func (*DAG) DescendantsFlow

func (d *DAG) DescendantsFlow(payload interface{}, startID string, inputs []FlowResult, callback FlowCallback) ([]FlowResult, error)

DescendantsFlow traverses descendants of the vertex with the ID startID. For the vertex itself and each of its descendant it executes the given (callback-) function providing it the results of its respective parents. The (callback-) function is only executed after all parents have finished their work.

Example
package main

import (
	"context"
	"fmt"
	"sort"

	"github.com/venom90/dag"
)

type Payload struct {
	ctx context.Context
}

func main() {
	// Initialize a new graph.
	d := dag.NewDAG()

	// Init vertices.
	v0, _ := d.AddVertex(0)
	v1, _ := d.AddVertex(1)
	v2, _ := d.AddVertex(2)
	v3, _ := d.AddVertex(3)
	v4, _ := d.AddVertex(4)

	// Add the above vertices and connect them.
	_ = d.AddEdge(v0, v1)
	_ = d.AddEdge(v0, v3)
	_ = d.AddEdge(v1, v2)
	_ = d.AddEdge(v2, v4)
	_ = d.AddEdge(v3, v4)

	//   0
	// ┌─┴─┐
	// 1   │
	// │   3
	// 2   │
	// └─┬─┘
	//   4

	// The callback function adds its own value (ID) to the sum of parent results.
	flowCallback := func(payload interface{}, d *dag.DAG, id string, parentResults []dag.FlowResult) (interface{}, error) {

		payload = payload.(Payload)

		v, _ := d.GetVertex(id)
		result, _ := v.(int)
		var parents []int
		for _, r := range parentResults {
			p, _ := d.GetVertex(r.ID)
			parents = append(parents, p.(int))
			result += r.Result.(int)
		}
		sort.Ints(parents)
		fmt.Printf("%v based on: %+v returns: %d\n", v, parents, result)
		return result, nil
	}

	pld := Payload{
		ctx: context.Background(),
	}

	_, _ = d.DescendantsFlow(pld, v0, nil, flowCallback)

}
Output:

0 based on: [] returns: 0
1 based on: [0] returns: 1
3 based on: [0] returns: 3
2 based on: [1] returns: 3
4 based on: [2 3] returns: 10

FlowCallback is the signature of the (callback-) function to call for each vertex within a DescendantsFlow, after all its parents have finished their work. The parameters of the function are the (complete) DAG, the current vertex ID, and the results of all its parents. An instance of FlowCallback should return a result or an error.

type FlowResult

type FlowResult struct {

	// The id of the vertex that produced this result.
	ID string

	// The actual result.
	Result interface{}

	// Any error. Note, DescendantsFlow does not care about this error. It is up to
	// the FlowCallback of downstream vertices to handle the error as needed - if
	// needed.
	Error error
}

FlowResult describes the data to be passed between vertices in a DescendantsFlow.

type IDDuplicateError

type IDDuplicateError struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields

type IDInterface

type IDInterface interface {
	ID() string
}

IDInterface describes the interface a type must implement in order to explicitly specify vertex id.

Objects of types not implementing this interface will receive automatically generated ids (as of adding them to the graph).

Example
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/venom90/dag"
)

type idVertex struct {
	id  string
	msg string
}

func (v idVertex) ID() string {
	return v.id
}

func main() {

	// initialize a new graph
	d := dag.NewDAG()

	// init three vertices
	id, _ := d.AddVertex(idVertex{id: "1", msg: "foo"})
	fmt.Printf("id of vertex is %s\n", id)

func (VertexNilError) Error

func (e VertexNilError) Error() string

Implements the error interface.

type Vertexer

type Vertexer interface {
	Vertex() (id string, value interface{})
}

Vertexer is the interface that wraps the basic Vertex method. Vertex returns an id that identifies this vertex and the value of this vertex.

The reason for defining this new structure is that the vertex id may be automatically generated when the caller adds a vertex. At this time, the vertex structure added by the user does not contain id information.
