Usage

Importing

// esm
import pl from 'nodejs-polars';

// require
const pl = require('nodejs-polars'); 

Series

> const fooSeries = pl.Series("foo", [1, 2, 3])
> fooSeries.sum()
6

// a lot operations support both positional and named arguments
// you can see the full specs in the docs or the type definitions
> fooSeries.sort(true)
> fooSeries.sort({reverse: true})
shape: (3,)
Series: 'foo' [f64]
[
        3
        2
        1
]
> fooSeries.toArray()
[1, 2, 3]

// Series are 'Iterables' so you can use javascript iterable syntax on them
> [...fooSeries]
[1, 2, 3]

> fooSeries[0]
1

DataFrame

>const df = pl.DataFrame(
...   {
...     A: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5],
...     fruits: ["banana", "banana", "apple", "apple", "banana"],
...     B: [5, 4, 3, 2, 1],
...     cars: ["beetle", "audi", "beetle", "beetle", "beetle"],
...   }
... )
> df.sort("fruits").select(
...     "fruits",
...     "cars",
...     pl.lit("fruits").alias("literal_string_fruits"),
...     pl.col("B").filter(pl.col("cars").eq(lit("beetle"))).sum(),
...     pl.col("A").filter(pl.col("B").gt(2)).sum().over("cars").alias("sum_A_by_cars"),
...     pl.col("A").sum().over("fruits").alias("sum_A_by_fruits"),
...     pl.col("A").reverse().over("fruits").flatten().alias("rev_A_by_fruits")
...   )

Node setup

Install the latest polars version with:

$ yarn add nodejs-polars # yarn
$ npm i -s nodejs-polars # npm

Releases happen quite often (weekly / every few days) at the moment, so updating polars regularly to get the latest bugfixes / features might not be a bad idea.

  • Node version >=16
  • Rust version >=1.59 - Only needed for development

[Node]: compile polars from source

If you want a bleeding edge release or maximal performance you should compile polars from source.

  1. Install the latest Rust compiler
  2. Run npm|yarn install
  3. Choose any of:
    • Fastest binary, very long compile times:
      $ cd nodejs-polars && yarn build && yarn build:ts # this will generate a /bin directory with the compiles TS code, as well as the rust binary
    • Debugging, fastest compile times but slow & large binary:
      $ cd nodejs-polars && yarn build:debug && yarn build:ts # this will generate a /bin directory with the compiles TS code, as well as the rust binary
