🚀 Quick Start

Basic Usage

import { BmsSpGraph } from '@ruvnet/bmssp';

// Create a new graph
const graph = new BmsSpGraph();

// Add edges (automatically creates vertices)
graph.add_edge(0, 1, 10.0);  // from: 0, to: 1, weight: 10
graph.add_edge(1, 2, 20.0);
graph.add_edge(0, 2, 35.0);

// Find shortest path
const result = graph.shortest_path(0, 2);
console.log(`Distance: ${result.distance}`);  // 30.0
console.log(`Path: ${result.path}`);          // [0, 1, 2]

// Clean up when done
graph.free();

Multi-Source Pathfinding

const graph = new BmsSpGraph();

// Build your graph
graph.add_edge(0, 1, 5.0);
graph.add_edge(1, 2, 3.0);
graph.add_edge(2, 3, 2.0);
graph.add_edge(0, 3, 15.0);

// Find shortest paths from multiple sources
const sources = new Uint32Array([0, 1]);
const target = 3;
const result = graph.multi_source_shortest_path(sources, target);

console.log(`Best distance: ${result.distance}`);
console.log(`Optimal path: ${result.path}`);

Advanced Features

// Get graph statistics
const stats = graph.get_stats();
console.log(`Vertices: ${stats.vertex_count}`);
console.log(`Edges: ${stats.edge_count}`);
console.log(`Density: ${stats.density}`);

// Check connectivity
if (graph.has_edge(0, 1)) {
  console.log('Edge exists!');
}

// Get all edges
const edges = graph.get_edges();
edges.forEach(edge => {
  console.log(`${edge.from} -> ${edge.to}: ${edge.weight}`);
});

// Batch processing for optimal performance
const queries = [
  { source: 0, target: 10 },
  { source: 5, target: 15 },
  { source: 10, target: 20 }
];
const results = graph.batch_shortest_paths(queries);

🎯 Use Cases

Route Optimization

// Delivery route optimization
const deliveryNetwork = new BmsSpGraph();

// Add warehouse and delivery locations
deliveryNetwork.add_edge(warehouse, location1, distance1);
deliveryNetwork.add_edge(location1, location2, distance2);
// ... more locations

// Find optimal route
const route = deliveryNetwork.shortest_path(warehouse, finalDestination);

Network Analysis

// Network latency optimization
const network = new BmsSpGraph();

// Add network nodes and latencies
network.add_edge(server1, server2, latency);
// ... more connections

// Find fastest path for data routing
const path = network.shortest_path(source, destination);

Social Networks

// Find degrees of separation
const socialGraph = new BmsSpGraph();

// Add friendships (bidirectional)
socialGraph.add_edge(person1, person2, 1.0);
socialGraph.add_edge(person2, person1, 1.0);

// Find connection path
const connection = socialGraph.shortest_path(personA, personB);
console.log(`Degrees of separation: ${connection.path.length - 1}`);

Gaming & AI

// Pathfinding for game AI
const gameMap = new BmsSpGraph();

// Add map nodes and movement costs
gameMap.add_edge(position1, position2, movementCost);

// Find optimal path for AI character
const aiPath = gameMap.shortest_path(currentPos, targetPos);

📊 Performance Benchmarks

BMSSP significantly outperforms traditional JavaScript implementations:

🔧 API Reference

`BmsSpGraph`

Constructor

new BmsSpGraph(): BmsSpGraph

Creates a new empty graph.

Methods

`add_edge(from: number, to: number, weight: number): void`

Adds a directed edge to the graph.

`shortest_path(source: number, target: number): PathResult`

Finds the shortest path between two vertices.

`multi_source_shortest_path(sources: Uint32Array, target: number): PathResult`

Finds the shortest path from multiple source vertices to a target.

`batch_shortest_paths(queries: PathQuery[]): PathResult[]`

Process multiple path queries efficiently in batch.

`has_edge(from: number, to: number): boolean`

Checks if an edge exists between two vertices.

`get_edges(): Edge[]`

`get_stats(): GraphStats`

Returns statistics about the graph.

`clear(): void`

Clears all edges and vertices from the graph.

`free(): void`

Frees the WASM memory (important for cleanup).

🔬 How It Works

BMSSP uses a breakthrough algorithm that achieves sub-quadratic time complexity O(m·log^(2/3) n) by:

Bidirectional Search: Explores from both source and target simultaneously
Multi-Source Optimization: Amortizes computation across multiple sources
Intelligent Pruning: Eliminates unnecessary graph exploration
WASM Performance: Leverages Rust's zero-cost abstractions compiled to WebAssembly
Cache-Friendly: Optimized memory access patterns for modern CPUs

The algorithm is particularly effective for:

Large sparse graphs
Multiple pathfinding queries
Real-time applications
Cost-sensitive deployments
