idiolect-indexer

API reference: docs.rs/idiolect-indexer · Source: crates/idiolect-indexer/ · Crate: crates.io/idiolect-indexer

This page is an editorial overview. The per-symbol surface (every public type, trait, function, and feature flag) is the docs.rs link above; that is the authoritative reference.

Firehose consumer factored into three trait surfaces. The crate owns the loop; you bring the stream, the handler, and the cursor store.

[dependencies]
idiolect-indexer = { version = "0.8",
    features = ["firehose-jetstream", "cursor-filesystem", "reconnecting"] }

Public surface

Trait surface

#![allow(unused)]
fn main() {
pub trait EventStream: Send + Sync {
    async fn next_event(&mut self) -> Result<Option<RawEvent>, IndexerError>;
}

pub trait CursorStore: Send + Sync {
    async fn load(&self, subscription_id: &str) -> Result<Option<u64>, IndexerError>;
    async fn commit(&self, subscription_id: &str, seq: u64) -> Result<(), IndexerError>;
    async fn list(&self) -> Result<Vec<(String, u64)>, IndexerError> { /* default */ }
}

pub trait RecordHandler<F: RecordFamily = IdiolectFamily>: Send + Sync {
    async fn handle(&self, event: &IndexerEvent<F>) -> Result<(), IndexerError>;
}
}

IndexerEvent<F> carries the decoded event: seq, live, the DID, repo revision, rkey, NSID, action (create / update / delete), CID, and the typed record body (Option<F::AnyRecord>).

Composer

#![allow(unused)]
fn main() {
pub async fn drive_indexer<F, S, H, C>(
    stream: &mut S,
    handler: &H,
    cursor_store: &C,
    config: &IndexerConfig,
) -> Result<(), IndexerError>
where
    F: RecordFamily,
    S: EventStream,
    H: RecordHandler<F>,
    C: CursorStore;
}

drive_idiolect_indexer is the convenience alias when F = IdiolectFamily.

Shipped impls

Type	Feature	Purpose
`JetstreamEventStream`	`firehose-jetstream`	Subscribes to a Jetstream websocket feed.
`TappedFirehoseStream`	`firehose-tapped`	Subscribes to the at-proto-native firehose via `tapped`.
`ReconnectingStream<S>`	`reconnecting`	Wraps any `S: EventStream` with exponential-backoff reconnect.
`InMemoryCursorStore`	(always)	`HashMap`-backed; for tests.
`FilesystemCursorStore`	`cursor-filesystem`	One JSON file per stream.
`SqliteCursorStore`	`cursor-sqlite`	One row per stream. Pairs with handlers that also write SQLite.
`NoopRecordHandler`	(always)	Counts events and drops them. Useful as a baseline.
`RetryingHandler` / `CircuitBreakerHandler`	`resilience`	Wraps an inner handler with retry / circuit-breaker policies.

Error surface

IndexerError flattens the failure modes from all three boundaries. Variants:

Variant	Trigger
`Stream(String)`	Transport error from the event stream.
`Cursor(String)`	Cursor store read or write failed.
`Decode(DecodeError)`	A known NSID failed to decode into its typed record.
`Handler(String)`	Handler returned a handler-defined error.
`MissingBody(String)`	The firehose event had no record body or the body was malformed.
`FamilyContract(String)`	`contains` accepted an NSID but `decode` returned `None` — a family-implementation bug.

Feature flags

Feature	Adds
`firehose-jetstream`	Jetstream websocket client.
`firehose-tapped`	Tapped at-proto-native firehose client.
`cursor-filesystem`	Filesystem cursor store.
`cursor-sqlite`	SQLite cursor store.
`reconnecting`	Reconnect wrapper.
`resilience`	Retry and circuit-breaker handler wrappers.

drive_indexer commits the cursor only after the handler returns Ok. A failing handler does not commit; the loop either retries on the next event (default) or surfaces the error. For exactly-once semantics, the handler coordinates the cursor commit with its own storage transaction.
