# User Defined Functions
Extend BaraQL with custom functions.
## Usage
```nim
import barabadb/query/udf
var reg = newUDFRegistry()
# Register standard library
reg.registerStdlib() # abs, sqrt, pow, lower, upper, len, trim, substr, toString, toInt
# Custom function
reg.register("greet", @[UDFParam(name: "name", typeName: "str")],
"str", proc(args: seq[Value]): Value =
return Value(kind: vkString, strVal: "Hello, " & args[0].strVal & "!"))
```
## Standard Library Functions
| Function | Description | Example |
|----------|-------------|---------|
| `abs(n)` | Absolute value | `abs(-5)` → 5 |
| `sqrt(n)` | Square root | `sqrt(16)` → 4 |
| `pow(n, e)` | Power | `pow(2, 3)` → 8 |
| `lower(s)` | Lowercase | `lower('ABC')` → 'abc' |
| `upper(s)` | Uppercase | `upper('abc')` → 'ABC' |
| `len(s)` | Length | `len('hello')` → 5 |
| `trim(s)` | Trim whitespace | `trim(' hello ')` → 'hello' |
| `substr(s, start, len)` | Substring | `substr('hello', 0, 3)` → 'hel' |
| `toString(n)` | Convert to string | `toString(123)` → '123' |
| `toInt(s)` | Convert to integer | `toInt('123')` → 123 |
## Function Registration
```nim
reg.register(
name: "my_function",
params: @[
UDFParam(name: "arg1", typeName: "str"),
UDFParam(name: "arg2", typeName: "int32")
],
returnType: "str",
body: proc(args: seq[Value]): Value =
# Implementation
result = Value(kind: vkString, strVal: "")
)
```
## Using UDFs in Queries
```sql
SELECT greet(name) FROM users;
```
