GRAKN: Can I load a schema or data from a GRAQL file via the Java API?

Is it possible to load/import a schema or data from a GRAQL file via the Java API, e.g. in an in-memory graph?

import ai.grakn.Grakn
import ai.grakn.GraknTxType

fun main(args: Array<String>) {
    val session = Grakn.session(Grakn.IN_MEMORY, "db")
    val tx = session.open(GraknTxType.WRITE)

    // load a schema / import data from a gql file

    tx.close()
    session.close()
}

There are examples on the web site for creating a schema via tx.putEntityType etc. or parsing queries but is it also possible to simply import a gql file?

Solution

  • It is possible, you can read the whole file into a string and then do the following:

    String readInFile = readWholeFile(....);
tx.graql().parse(readInFile).execute();
