logic 0.0.2

Minikanren implemented in dart language based on github:@shd101wyy/logic.js repository.

logic.dart

This is a practice project of porting logic.js (minikanren) to dart.

Usages

Core

lvar, run, and, or, eq

import "package:logic/logic.dart";

final x = lvar("x"); // define logic variable with id 'x'

run([x], eq(x, 1)); // query 'x' => [{x: 1}]
run([x], () {
  final y = lvar("y");
  return and(
    eq(y, 1),
    eq(x, y));
}); // => [{x: 1}]

run([x], or(eq(x, 1), eq(x, 2)));    // [{x: 1}, {x: 2}]
run([x], or(eq(x, 1), eq(x, 2), count: 1)); // [{x: 1}]
run([x], or(eq(x, 1), eq(x, 2)), count: 1); // [{x: 1}]

Facts

facts

// FACTS
final parent = facts([
  ['Steve', 'Bob'],      // Steve is Bob's parent
  ['Steve', 'Henry'],    // Steve is Henry's parent
  ['Henry', 'Alice']     // Henry is Alice's parent
]);
run([x], parent(x, 'Alice'));     // who is Alice's parent => ['Henry']
run([x], parent('Steve', x));     // who are Steve's children => ['Bob', 'Henry']

// RULES
var grandparent = (x, y) {
  final z = lvar();
  return and(parent(x, z), parent(z, y));
};

run([x], grandparent(x, 'Alice'));  // who is Alice's grandparent => ['Steve']

Array manipulation

conso, firsto, resto, emptyo, membero, appendo

final x = lvar('x');
final y = lvar('y');

run([x], membero(x, [1, 2, 3]));
// [{x: 1}, {x: 2}, {x: 3}]

run([x, y], conso(x, y, [1, 2, 3]));
// [{x: 1, y: [2, 3]}]

run([x, y], appendo(x, y, [1, 2]));
/*
[ {x: [], y: [1, 2]},
  {x: [1], y: [2]}
  {x: [1, 2], y: []} ]
*/

Arithmetic & Comparison

add, sub, mul, div, lt, le, gt, ge

run([x], add(2, x, 5));
// [{x: 3}]

Extra

succeed, fail, anyo

run([x], and(eq(x, 1), succeed()));
// [{x: 1}]

run([x], and(eq(x, 1), fail()));
// []

run([x], or(
  eq(x, 1),
  eq(x, 2),
  eq(x, 3)
)); // [{x: 1}, {x: 2}, {x: 3}]

run([x], or(
  eq(x, 1),
  and(eq(x, 2), fail()),
  eq(x, 3)
)); // [{x: 1}, {x: 3}]

run([x], anyo(or(eq(x, 1), eq(x, 2), eq(x, 3))), count: 4);
// [{x: 1}, {x: 2}, {x: 3}, {x: 1}]

Summary

I encountered a few problems while rewriting the logic.js to logic.dart.

• The dart language doesn't support variadic parameters in function. So I kinda hacked the and and or functions.
