# Search Query Syntax Parser
> A simple parser for advanced search query syntax.
[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/nepsilon/search-query-parser.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/nepsilon/search-query-parser)
It parses a string like this:
```
from:hi@retrace.io,foo@gmail.com to:me subject:vacations date:1/10/2013-15/04/2014 photos
```
And turns it into an object like this:
```javascript
{
from: ['hi@retrace.io', 'foo@gmail.com'],
to: 'me',
subject: 'vacations',
date: {
from: '1/10/2013',
to: '15/04/2014'
},
text: 'photos'
}
```
## Installation
```shell
$ npm install search-query-parser
```
## Usage
```javascript
var searchQuery = require('search-query-parser');
var query = 'from:hi@retrace.io,foo@gmail.com to:me subject:vacations date:1/10/2013-15/04/2014 photos';
var options = {keywords: ['from', 'to', 'subject'], ranges: ['date']}
var searchQueryObj = searchQuery.parse(query, options);
// searchQueryObj.from is now ['hi@retrace.io', 'foo@gmail.com']
// searchQueryObj.to is now 'me'
// searchQueryObj.date is now {from: '1/10/2013', to: '15/04/2014'}
// searchQueryObj.text is now 'photos'
```
You can configure what keywords and ranges the parser should accept with the options argument.
It accepts 2 values:
* `keywords`, that can be separated by commas (,)
* `ranges`, that can be separated by a hyphen (-)
Both values take an array of strings, as in the example just above.
If no keywords or ranges are specified, or if none are present in the given search query, then `searchQuery.parse` will return a string.
```javascript
var searchQuery = require('search-query-parser');
var query = 'a query with just text';
var parsedQuery = searchQuery.parse(query);
// parsedQuery is now 'a query with just text'
var options = {keywords: ['unused']};
var parsedQueryWithOptions = searchQuery.parse(query, options);
// parsedQueryWithOptions is now 'a query with just text'
```
## Testing
The 17 tests are written using the BDD testing framework should.js, and run with mocha.
Run `npm install should` and `npm install -g mocha` to install them both.
Run tests with `make test`.
