npm install @atek-cloud/adb-api

import adb from '@atek-cloud/adb-api'

Default export properties

api	AdbApi & AtekRpcClient
db	(dbId: string | DbConfig, opts?: DbConfig) => AdbDatabase

Use the .db() method to create AdbDatabase instances. You may pass a Hypercore 64-character hex-string key or an arbitrary string (which will be a local alias).

import adb from '@atek-cloud/adb-api'

// get or create a database under the 'mydb' alias
// - the 'mydb' alias will be stored under this application for easy future access
const db = adb.db('mydb')

// get a database under its Hypercore key
// - if the database does not exist locally, its content will be fetched from the p2p network
const db2 = adb.db('97396e81e407e5ae7a64b375cc54c1fc1a0d417a5a72e2169b5377506e1e3163')

The .api is the RPC interface which will be used by .db().

Exported Functions

defineSchema

▸ defineSchema<T>(path, opts?): (db: AdbDatabase) => any

Parameters

Name	Type
path	string | string[]
opts?	AdbSchemaOpts

Returns

fn

▸ (db): any

Use this function to create reusable record schemas.

import adb, { defineSchema } from '@atek-cloud/adb-api`

interface CatRecord {
  id: string
  name: string
  createdAt: string
}

const cats = defineSchema<CatRecord>('example.com/cats', {
  pkey: '/id',
  jsonSchema: {
    type: 'object',
    required: ['id', 'name']
    properties: {
      id: {type: 'string'},
      name: {type: 'string'},
      createdAt: {type: 'string', format: 'date-time'}
    }
  }
})

await cats(adb.db('mydb')).create({
  id: 'kit',
  name: 'Kit the Cat'
})

createClient

▸ createClient(): AdbApi & AtekRpcClient

Returns

AdbApi & AtekRpcClient

Creates an AdbApi instance. You can typically use the .api exported on the default object, but if you need to configure a separate API instance you can use this function.

---

createServer

▸ createServer(handlers): AtekRpcServer

Parameters

Name	Type
handlers	any

Returns

AtekRpcServer

Creates an AtekRpcServer server. You would only ever need this if creating your own ADB server (perhaps for test mocking).
