About empty keys

If a leaf value was originally string, e.g. name

{
  "alex.near": {
    "profile": {
      "name": "Alex"
    }
  }
}

And later some value was added under name, the name will be transformed to a node, and the value will be moved to an empty key under this node. E.g. name/foo = "bar" is added.

{
  "alex.near": {
    "profile": {
      "name": {
        "": "Alex",
        "foo": "bar"
      }
    }
  }
}

Storing data

The top level keys of the objects should be account IDs under which the data is stored. Those accounts are covering storage for the underlying data.

The predecessor_id or the signer public key should have permission to write under those keys. If the predecessor_id matches the top level key, then it can write any data under that key, as long as it has a permission or at least 1 yoctoNEAR is attached.

The attached deposit will be transferred to the first key. If the account doesn't exist, it will be created (the predecessor_id should match).

#[payable]
pub fn set(&mut self, data: Value);

Arguments:

• data is an object to store. The leaf values should be strings or null values. String values will be added, while null values will be deleted.

Examples:

set({
  data: {
    "alex.near": {
      "profile": {
        "name": "Alex",
        "image": {
          "url": "https://gkfjklgdfjkldfg"
        }
      },
    }
  }
})

set({
  data: {
    "alex.near": {
      "graph": {
        "follow": {
          "root.near": "",
          "bob.near": "",
        }
      }
    }
  }
})

Reading data

Returns the data for a list of given key patterns. It takes one or more path patterns as arguments, and returns the matching data. The path pattern is a string that can contain wildcards. For example:

• alice.near/profile/** will match the entire profile data of account alice.near.
• alice.near/profile/* will match all the fields of the profile, but not the nested objects.
• alice.near/profile/name will match only the name field of the profile.
• */widget/* will match all the widgets of all the accounts.

pub struct GetOptions {
    pub with_block_height: Option<bool>,
    pub with_node_id: Option<bool>,
    pub return_deleted: Option<bool>,
}

pub fn get(self, keys: Vec<String>, options: Option<GetOptions>) -> Value;

Arguments:

• keys - an array of key patterns to return.
• options - optional argument to specify options.

Options:

• with_block_height - if true, for every value and a node will add the block height of the data with the key :block.
• with_node_id - if true, for every node will add the node index with the key :node.
• return_deleted - if true, will include deleted keys with the value null.

Returns the aggregated JSON object.

Examples:

get({keys: ["alex.near/profile/name"]})

get({keys: ["alex.near/profile/name", "root.near/profile/name"]})

get({keys: ["alex.near/profile/name", "alex.near/profile/description"]})

get({keys: ["alex.near/profile/tags/*"]})

get({keys: ["alex.near/profile/**"]})

get({keys: ["*/widget/*"]})

get({keys: ["alex.near/profile/tags/*"], options: {return_deleted: true}})

Reading keys

The keys method allows to get the list of keys that match the path pattern. It's useful for querying the data without reading values. It also has an additional options field that can be used to specify the return type and whether to return deleted keys. For example:

• alice.near/profile/* will return the list of all the fields of the profile, but not the nested objects.
• */profile/image/nft will return the list of all the accounts that have an NFT image in their profile.
• alice.near/widget/* with return_deleted option will return the list of all the widget names of the account, including the deleted ones.
• alice.near/widget/* with return_type equal to BlockHeight will return the list of all the widget names of the account and the value will be the block height when the widget was last updated.
• Note ** is not supported by the keys method.

pub enum KeysReturnType {
    True,
    BlockHeight,
    NodeId,
}

pub struct KeysOptions {
    pub return_type: Option<KeysReturnType>,
    pub return_deleted: Option<bool>,
    pub values_only: Option<bool>,
}

pub fn keys(self, keys: Vec<String>, options: Option<KeysOptions>) -> Value;

Arguments:

• keys - an array of key patterns to return.
• options - optional argument to specify options.

Options:

• return_type - if BlockHeight, will return the block height of the key instead of true, if NodeId, will return the node index of the key instead of true.
• return_deleted - if true, will include deleted keys.
• values_only - if true, only matches keys which value is not a node. It's needed to filter out deleted entries. Since a node can't be deleted right now.

Returns the aggregated JSON object.

Examples:

keys({keys: ["alex.near/profile/*"]})

keys({keys: ["*/profile/image/nft"]})

keys({keys: ["alex.near/widget/*"], options: {return_deleted: true}})

keys({keys: ["alex.near/widget/*"], options: {return_type: "BlockHeight", values_only: true}})
