# Augmentations System

## Overview

Brainy's Augmentation System provides a powerful plugin architecture that extends core functionality without modifying the base code. Augmentations can intercept, modify, and enhance any operation in the database.

## Built-in Augmentations

> **Note**: This document shows both available and planned augmentations. Each section is marked with its current status.

### 1. Entity Registry Augmentation ✅ Available

High-performance deduplication for streaming data ingestion.

```typescript
import { EntityRegistryAugmentation } from 'brainy'

const brain = new Brainy({
  augmentations: [
    new EntityRegistryAugmentation({
      maxCacheSize: 100000,      // Track up to 100k unique entities
      ttl: 3600000,              // 1-hour TTL for cache entries
      hashFields: ['id', 'url']  // Fields to use for deduplication
    })
  ]
})

// Automatically prevents duplicate entities
await brain.add("Same content", { id: "123" }) // Added
await brain.add("Same content", { id: "123" }) // Skipped (duplicate)
```

**Benefits:**
- O(1) duplicate detection using bloom filters
- Configurable cache size and TTL
- Custom hash field selection
- Perfect for real-time data streams

  tables: {
    users: { type: 'person', idField: 'user_id' },
    products: { type: 'product', idField: 'sku' },
    orders: { 
      type: 'relationship',
      from: 'user_id',
      to: 'product_id',
      verb: 'purchased'
    }
  }
})

// Import from MongoDB

await brain.importStream({
  source: 'kafka://localhost:9092/events',
  format: 'json',
  transform: (event) => ({
    noun: event.data,
    metadata: {
      type: event.type,
      timestamp: event.timestamp
    }
  }),
  deduplication: true
})
```

### 4. Bulk CSV/JSON Import

```typescript
// Import CSV with automatic type detection
await brain.importCSV('./data.csv', {
  headers: true,
  typeColumn: 'entity_type',
  detectRelationships: true,
  batchSize: 1000
})

// Import JSON with nested structure handling
await brain.importJSON('./data.json', {
  rootPath: '$.entities',
  nounPath: '$.content',
  metadataPath: '$.properties',
  relationshipPath: '$.connections'
})
```

## Creating Custom Augmentations

```typescript
import { Augmentation } from 'brainy'

class CustomAugmentation extends Augmentation {
  name = 'CustomAugmentation'
  
  async onInit(brain: Brainy): Promise<void> {
    // Initialize augmentation
    console.log('Custom augmentation initialized')
  }
  
  async onBeforeAddNoun(content: any, metadata: any): Promise<[any, any]> {
    // Modify before adding noun
    metadata.processed = true
    metadata.timestamp = Date.now()
    return [content, metadata]
  }
  
  async onAfterAddNoun(id: string, noun: any): Promise<void> {
    // React to noun addition
    console.log(`Noun ${id} added`)
  }
  
  async onBeforeSearch(query: any): Promise<any> {
    // Modify search query
    query.boost = 'recent'
    return query
  }
  
  async onAfterSearch(results: any[]): Promise<any[]> {
    // Process search results
    return results.map(r => ({
      ...r,
      customScore: r.score * 1.5
    }))
  }
}

// Use custom augmentation
const brain = new Brainy({
  augmentations: [new CustomAugmentation()]
})
```

## Augmentation Lifecycle Hooks

### Available Hooks

```typescript
interface AugmentationHooks {
  // Initialization
  onInit(brain: Brainy): Promise<void>
  onShutdown(): Promise<void>
  
  // Noun operations
  onBeforeAddNoun(content, metadata): Promise<[content, metadata]>
  onAfterAddNoun(id, noun): Promise<void>
  onBeforeGetNoun(id): Promise<string>
  onAfterGetNoun(noun): Promise<any>
  onBeforeUpdateNoun(id, updates): Promise<[string, any]>
  onAfterUpdateNoun(id, noun): Promise<void>
  onBeforeDeleteNoun(id): Promise<string>
  onAfterDeleteNoun(id): Promise<void>
  
  // Verb operations
  onBeforeAddVerb(source, target, type, metadata): Promise<[any, any, string, any]>
  onAfterAddVerb(id, verb): Promise<void>
  onBeforeGetVerb(id): Promise<string>
  onAfterGetVerb(verb): Promise<any>
  
  // Search operations
  onBeforeSearch(query): Promise<any>
  onAfterSearch(results): Promise<any[]>
  onBeforeFind(query): Promise<any>
  onAfterFind(results): Promise<any[]>
  
  // Storage operations
  onBeforeSave(data): Promise<any>
  onAfterLoad(data): Promise<any>
  
  // Events
  onError(error): Promise<void>
  onMetric(metric): Promise<void>
}
```

## Augmentation Composition

```typescript
// Combine multiple augmentations
const brain = new Brainy({
  augmentations: [
    // Order matters - executed in sequence
    new EntityRegistryAugmentation(),    // Deduplication first
    new AutoRegisterEntitiesAugmentation(), // Entity extraction
    new IntelligentVerbScoringAugmentation(), // Scoring
    new CompressionAugmentation(),       // Compression
    new CachingAugmentation(),          // Caching
    new MonitoringAugmentation()        // Monitoring last
  ]
})
```

## Performance Considerations

1. **Order Matters**: Place filtering augmentations early
2. **Resource Usage**: Monitor memory with many augmentations
3. **Async Operations**: Use parallel processing where possible
4. **Caching**: Enable caching augmentation for read-heavy workloads

## Best Practices

1. **Single Responsibility**: Each augmentation should do one thing well
2. **Non-Blocking**: Avoid blocking operations in hooks
3. **Error Handling**: Always handle errors gracefully
4. **Configuration**: Make augmentations configurable
5. **Documentation**: Document augmentation behavior and options
