# Javascript implementation for [COALA IP](https://github.com/COALAIP/specs).

### Install

This project is available through [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/). To install run

```bash
> npm install coalaip --save
```

### Linked Metadata

This project provides tools for structuring metadata, using schema definitions with the ability to set arbitrary properties on type instances. Metadata is translatable to linked-data formats (e.g. [IPLD](https://ipld.io/)) for persistence to different databases/storage layers.

### Module Overview

#### Core

This module contains the types outlined in the specification. Additional types have been included because types in the specification inherit from them or certain properties expect other types.

#### Music

This module extends the `core` module with the following types: `MusicAlbum`, `MusicComposition`, `MusicGroup`, `MusicPlaylist`, `MusicRecording`, and `MusicRelease`.

### Getting Started
Some code to get started structuring metadata. In order to persist to a storage layer, consider using [Constellate](https://github.com/zbo14/constellate).

#### Create a `Person`
```js
const Person = require('coalaip/lib/core').Person

const man = new Person()
man.setGivenName('John')
man.setFamilyName('Smith')
man.setEmail('jsmith@email.com')
man.set('arbitrary', 'value')

// or if the object is already structured
const woman = {
  givenName: 'Jane',
  familyName: 'Smith',
  email: 'janesmith@email.com',
  arbitrary: 'value'
}

const person = new Person()
person.withData(woman)
```

#### Access the `Person`'s data
```js
console.log(man.data())

// {
//   "@context": "http://schema.org",
//   "@type": "Person",
//   "givenName": "John",
//   "familyName": "Smith",
//   "email": "jsmith@email.com",
//   "arbitrary": "value"
// }

// or if you want the data canonically ordered...

console.log(man.dataOrdered())

// {
//   "@context": "http://schema.org",
//   "@type": "Person",
//   "arbitrary": "value",
//   "email": "jsmith@email.com",
//   "familyName": "Smith",
//   "givenName": "John"
// }
```

#### Add/Set sub-instances

`addProperty` for property that expects an array

`setProperty` for property that expects a single value

```js
const {
  MusicComposition,
  MusicGroup,
  MusicRecording
} = require('coalaip/lib/music')

// 'member' expects an array of Parties
const group = new MusicGroup()
group.setDescription('descriptive')
group.setName('Beatles')
group.addMember(man)
group.path = '<placeholder group path>'

const composition = new MusicComposition()
// 'composer' expects an array of Parties
composition.addComposer(man)
composition.path = '<placeholder composition path>'

const recording = new MusicRecording()
// 'byArtist' expects an array of MusicGroups
recording.addByArtist(group)
// 'recordingOf' expects a MusicComposition
recording.setRecordingOf(comp)

console.log(recording.data())

// {  
//   "@context": "http://coalaip.org",
//   "@type": "MusicRecording",
//   "byArtist": [  
//     {  
//       "@context": "http://schema.org",
//       "@type": "MusicGroup",
//       "name": "Beatles",
//       "description": "descriptive",
//       "member": [  
//         {  
//           "@context": "http://schema.org",
//           "@type": "Person",
//           "givenName": "John",
//           "familyName": "Smith",
//           "email": "jsmith@email.com"
//         }
//       ]
//     }
//   ],
//   "recordingOf": {  
//     "@context": "http://coalaip.org",
//     "@type": "MusicComposition",
//     "composer": [  
//       {  
//         "@context": "http://schema.org",
//         "@type": "Person",
//         "givenName": "John",
//         "familyName": "Smith",
//         "email": "jsmith@email.com"
//       }
//     ]
//   }
// }

// and the ipld...

console.log(recording.ipld())

// {  
//   "@context": "http://coalaip.org",
//   "@type": "MusicRecording",
//   "byArtist": [  
//     {  
//       "/": "<placeholder group path>"
//     }
//   ],
//   "recordingOf": {  
//     "/": "<placeholder composition path>"
//   }
// }
```

#### Access sub-instances
`instance.subInstances()` returns a flattened array with `instance` and the unique instances nested within `instance`. To ease handling of metadata in other programs, the instances are ordered based on the other instances they contain.
```js
const metadata = recording.subInstances()
console.log(metadata)

// [man, group, composition, recording]

// (1) man contains no other instances
// (2,3) group and composition contain man
// (4) recording contains composition and group
```
