A convenient wrapper around LevelDB for both server-side and client-side JavaScript

LevelDB

Provides a convenient wrapper around LevelDB for both server-side and client-side JavaScript. Extending basic LevelDB functionality, integrating seamlessly with emitted events and enabling a more straightforward and modular approach for database operations.

Features

• Singleton pattern for database instances
• Easy-to-use asynchronous APIs
• Stream support for read and write operations
• Sub-levels for better data organization
• Custom encoding/decoding options
• Event emission and handling
• Batch operations

Installation

Install the package with:

npm install @plaindb/leveldb

Usage

First, import the LevelDB library.

import LevelDB from '@plaindb/leveldb'

or

const LevelDB = require('@plaindb/leveldb')

Initialization

You can initialize a LevelDB instance as follows:

const db = new LevelDB({
  dbName: 'myDatabase',
  dbPrefix: 'prefix',
  reset: true,
  separator: '!',
  keyEncoding: 'utf8',
  valueEncoding: 'msgpack'
})

Constructor Options

When instantiating a LevelDB object, you can pass an options object as follows:

• dbName: (string) The name of the LevelDB database. Default is '.db'.
• dbPrefix: (string) A prefix to be used before the dbName. Default is '' (empty string).
• client: (object) Custom Level client. If not provided, a new Level client will be created.
• reset: (boolean) If true, clears the database on instantiation. Default is false.
• separator: (string) The separator used for key names. Default is '!'.
• keyEncoding: (string | object) Encoding for keys. Default is 'utf8'.
• valueEncoding: (string | object) Encoding for values. Default is 'msgpack'.

Putting Data

To insert data into the LevelDB database:

await db.put('key', 'value')

Getting Data

To retrieve data from the database:

const value = await db.get('key')

Deleting Data

To delete data:

await db.del('key')

Stream Operations

For large datasets, you can use streaming:

const readStream = db.createReadStream()
readStream.on('data', data => {
  console.log(data)
})

Sub-levels

You can create sub-levels for better data organization:

const subDB = db.sub('subPath')

Batch Operations

For performing multiple operations atomically:

await db.batch([
  { type: 'put', key: 'key1', value: 'value1' },
  { type: 'del', key: 'key2' }
])

Event Handling

You can also attach event listeners:

db.on('put', (key, value) => {
  // Do something
})
