Query builders

match_field

Forge has many helper functions to make constructing queries easier. The simplest of the helpers is match_field().

To use match_field(), provide it with the field and value to match on.



In [3]:

    
mdf.match_field("material.elements", "Al")









    Out[3]:





<mdf_forge.forge.Forge at 0x7f26257f1630>

You can use match_field() as many times as you like to add more fields and values. (This applies to all of the query builder helpers.)



In [4]:

    
mdf.match_field("mdf.source_name", "oqmd*")









    Out[4]:





<mdf_forge.forge.Forge at 0x7f26257f1630>

Once you're done adding fields, use the search() method to execute your search. You don't need to specify the advanced argument; when using the query builder functions it is always set to True.

After you execute a search, the query is cleared from memory.

res = mdf.search(limit=10)
res[0]

exclude_field

exclude_field() is the opposite of match_field(); it excludes results with the specified value.

mdf.exclude_field("material.elements", "Cu")

You can chain calls together if you want.
