Getting Started🔗

Installation🔗

pip install fliq

Usage🔗

Fliq's main class is called Query. We suggest you import it as q, because you will use it all the time 😉 

from fliq import q
q([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]).take(1)
You can also import it as Query if you prefer, we don't judge: 
from fliq import Query
Query([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]).take(1)

What is a Query, and why should you use it?🔗

A Query can be viewed as a wrapper for any python iterable. It guarantees that the iterable will be evaluated lazily, and provides a rich set of methods for transforming and querying the data.

⚡ **** Speed up your code🔗

Data will only be materialized when you ask for it. This means that you can create a Query from a very large iterable, and only materialize a small portion of it. This is extremely efficient.

🔥👨‍💻 Speed up your development🔗

  1. 📖 Readability. The methods provided by Query are designed to be chained together, so you can create complex data pipelines with much less cognitive load.
  2. 🐞🔍 Inspectability. Query provides functionality that speeds development. For example, despite being lazy and exhaustible, you can always peek() into a query. Moreover, queries have a meaningful string representation. So you can view the contents of a query, without consuming it. This is extremely useful for debugging.

So the question is... Why not?
