op:facet-by

op:facet-by(
   $plan as map:map,
   $keys as item()+,
   [$counter as item()?]
) as map:map

Summary

This method counts values for multiple grouping key columns.

The method produces the same output as a op:group-to-arrays function with single-column groups and a count aggregate.

Parameters
$plan The Optic Plan. You can either use the XQuery => chaining operator or specify the variable that captures the return value from the previous operation.
$keys This parameter specifies the list of column keys for performing counts. For each column, the operation determines the unique values of that column and produces a separate count for the rows with that value.

A column can be named with a string or a column parameter function such as op:col or constructed from an expression with the op:as function. The facet can be named by providing a op:named-group that takes exactly one column.

$counter Specifies what to count over the rows for each unique value of each key column.

By default, the operation counts the rows. To count the values of a column instead, specify the column to count with this parameter. To count documents, specify a fragment id column with op:fragment-id-col.

Usage Notes

The op:facet-by function is a convenience for executing a op:group-to-arrays equivalent to: 

declare function local:facet-by($rowQuery as map:map, $keys as item()+, $counter as item()?) as map:map {
   $rowQuery => op:group-to-arrays($keys, op:count("count", $counter))
};

Example

(: Calculate the total expenses separately for each category and for each location. :)

xquery version "1.0-ml";

import module namespace op="http://marklogic.com/optic"
     at "/MarkLogic/optic.xqy";

op:from-view("main", "expenses")
    => op:facet-by(("Category", "Location"))
    => op:result()

Example

(: Filter the category and location facets by different criteria. :)

xquery version "1.0-ml";

import module namespace op="http://marklogic.com/optic"
     at "/MarkLogic/optic.xqy";

let $expenses := op:from-view("main", "expenses")
let $catFacet :=
    $expenses
    => op:where(op:eq(op:col("Location"), "New York"))
    => op:facet-by(op:named-group("Categories", "Category"))
let $locFacet :=
    $expenses
    => op:where(op:eq(op:col("Category"), "Payroll"))
    => op:order-by(op:desc("Amount"))
    => op:limit(10)
    => op:facet-by(op:named-group("Locations", "Location"))
return
    $catFacet
    => op:join-cross-product($locFacet)
    => op:result()
