EJDB NodeJS API

### EJDB.open(dbFile, openMode)

Open database. Return database instance handle object.
Default open mode: JBOWRITER | JBOCREAT.
This is blocking function.

Arguments

  • {String} dbFile Database main file name
  • {Number} [openMode=JBOWRITER | JBOCREAT] Bitmast of open modes: - JBOREADER Open as a reader. - JBOWRITER Open as a writer. - JBOCREAT Create if db file not exists - JBOTRUNC Truncate db.

### close()

Close database.
If database was not opened it does nothing.
This is blocking function.


### isOpen() Check if database in opened state.
### ensureCollection(cname, copts)

Automatically creates new collection if it does't exists. Collection options copts applied only for newly created collection. For existing collections copts takes no effect.

Collection options (copts):

  • cachedrecords : Max number of cached records in shared memory segment. Default: 0
  • records : Estimated number of records in this collection. Default: 65535.
  • large : Specifies that the size of the database can be larger than 2GB. Default: false
  • compressed : If true collection records will be compressed with DEFLATE compression. Default: false.


This is blocking function.

Arguments

  • {String} cname Name of collection.
  • {Object} [copts] Collection options.

### dropCollection(cname, prune, cb)

Drop collection.

Call variations:

dropCollection(cname)
dropCollection(cname, cb)
dropCollection(cname, prune, cb)

Arguments

  • {String} cname Name of collection.
  • {Boolean} [prune=false] If true the collection data will erased from disk.
  • {Function} [cb] Callback args: (error)

### save(cname, jsarr, cb)

Save/update specified JSON objects in the collection. If collection with cname does not exists it will be created.

Each persistent object has unique identifier (OID) placed in the _id property. If a saved object does not have _id it will be autogenerated. To identify and update object it should contains _id property.

If callback is not provided this function will be synchronous.

Call variations:

save(cname, <json object>|<Array of json objects>, [options] [cb])
save(cname, <json object>|<Array of json objects>, [cb])

NOTE: Field names of passed JSON objects may not contain $ and . characters, error condition will be fired in this case.

Arguments

  • {String} cname Name of collection.
  • {Array|Object} jsarr Signle JSON object or array of JSON objects to save
  • {Function} [cb] Callback args: (error, {Array} of OIDs for saved objects)

Return

  • {Array} of OIDs of saved objects in synchronous mode otherwise returns {undefined}.

### load(cname, oid, cb)

Loads JSON object identified by OID from the collection. If callback is not provided this function will be synchronous.

Arguments

  • {String} cname Name of collection
  • {String} oid Object identifier (OID)
  • {Function} cb Callback args: (error, obj) obj: Retrieved JSON object or NULL if it is not found.

Return

  • JSON object or {null} if it is not found in synchronous mode otherwise return {undefined}.

### remove(cname, oid, cb)

Removes JSON object from the collection. If callback is not provided this function will be synchronous.

Arguments

  • {String} cname Name of collection
  • {String} oid Object identifier (OID)
  • {Function} cb Callback args: (error)

### find(cname, qobj, orarr, hints, cb) Execute query on collection. EJDB queries inspired by MongoDB (mongodb.org) and follows same philosophy.
Supported queries:
  - Simple matching of String OR Number OR Array value:
      -   {'fpath' : 'val', ...}
  - $not Negate operation.
      -   {'fpath' : {'$not' : val}} //Field not equal to val
      -   {'fpath' : {'$not' : {'$begin' : prefix}}} //Field not begins with val
  - $begin String starts with prefix
      -   {'fpath' : {'$begin' : prefix}}
  - $gt, $gte (>, >=) and $lt, $lte for number types:
      -   {'fpath' : {'$gt' : number}, ...}
  - $bt Between for number types:
      -   {'fpath' : {'$bt' : [num1, num2]}}
  - $in String OR Number OR Array val matches to value in specified array:
      -   {'fpath' : {'$in' : [val1, val2, val3]}}
  - $nin - Not IN
  - $strand String tokens OR String array val matches all tokens in specified array:
      -   {'fpath' : {'$strand' : [val1, val2, val3]}}
  - $stror String tokens OR String array val matches any token in specified array:
      -   {'fpath' : {'$stror' : [val1, val2, val3]}}
  - $exists Field existence matching:
      -   {'fpath' : {'$exists' : true|false}}
  - $icase Case insensitive string matching:
      -  {'fpath' : {'$icase' : 'val1'}} //icase matching
      Ignore case matching with '$in' operation:
      -  {'name' : {'$icase' : {'$in' : ['tHéâtre - театр', 'heLLo WorlD']}}}
      For case insensitive matching you can create special type of string index.
  - $elemMatch The $elemMatch operator matches more than one component within an array element.
      -  { array: { $elemMatch: { value1 : 1, value2 : { $gt: 1 } } } }
      Restriction: only one $elemMatch allowed in context of one array field.
  - $and, $or joining:
      -   {..., $and : [subq1, subq2, ...] }
      -   {..., $or  : [subq1, subq2, ...] }
      Example: {z : 33, $and : [ {$or : [{a : 1}, {b : 2}]}, {$or : [{c : 5}, {d : 7}]} ] }

  - Mongodb $(projection) operator supported. (http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/projection/positional/#proj._S_)
  - Mongodb positional $ update operator supported. (http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/operator/positional/)

  - Queries can be used to update records:

    $set Field set operation.
        - {.., '$set' : {'field1' : val1, 'fieldN' : valN}}
    $upsert Atomic upsert. If matching records are found it will be '$set' operation,
            otherwise new record will be inserted with fields specified by argment object.
       - {.., '$upsert' : {'field1' : val1, 'fieldN' : valN}}
    $inc Increment operation. Only number types are supported.
        - {.., '$inc' : {'field1' : number, ...,  'field1' : number}
    $unset Field removal operation.
        - {.., '$unset':{'fpath1':true,'fpathN':true}}
    $dropall In-place record removal operation.
        - {.., '$dropall' : true}
    $addToSet Atomically adds value to the array only if its not in the array already.
                If containing array is missing it will be created.
        - {.., '$addToSet' : {'fpath' : val1, 'fpathN' : valN, ...}}
    $addToSetAll Batch version if $addToSet
        - {.., '$addToSetAll' : {'fpath' : [array of values to add], ...}}
    $pull Atomically removes all occurrences of value from field, if field is an array.
        - {.., '$pull' : {'fpath' : val1, 'fpathN' : valN, ...}}
    $pullAll Batch version of $pull
        - {.., '$pullAll' : {'fpath' : [array of values to remove], ...}}

NOTE: It is better to execute update queries with `$onlycount=true` hint flag
     or use the special `update()` method to avoid unnecessarily rows fetching.

NOTE: Negate operations: $not and $nin not using indexes
      so they can be slow in comparison to other matching operations.

NOTE: Only one index can be used in search query operation.

NOTE: If callback is not provided this function will be synchronous.

QUERY HINTS (specified by `hints` argument):
  - $max Maximum number in the result set
  - $skip Number of skipped results in the result set
  - $orderby Sorting order of query fields.
  - $onlycount true|false If `true` only count of matching records will be returned
                          without placing records in result set.
  - $fields Set subset of fetched fields
       If a field presented in $orderby clause it will be forced to include in resulting records.
       Example:
       hints:    {
                   "$orderby" : { //ORDER BY field1 ASC, field2 DESC
                       "field1" : 1,
                       "field2" : -1
                   },
                   "$fields" : { //SELECT ONLY {_id, field1, field2}
                       "field1" : 1,
                       "field2" : 1
                   }
                 }

Many C API query examples can be found in `tcejdb/testejdb/t2.c` test case.

To traverse selected records cursor object is used:
  - Cursor#next() Move cursor to the next record and returns true if next record exists.
  - Cursor#hasNext() Returns true if cursor can be placed to the next record.
  - Cursor#field(name) Retrieve value of the specified field of the current JSON object record.
  - Cursor#object() Retrieve whole JSON object with all fields.
  - Cursor#reset() Reset cursor to its initial state.
  - Cursor#length Read-only property: Number of records placed into cursor.
  - Cursor#pos Read/Write property: You can set cursor position: 0 <= pos < length
  - Cursor#close() Closes cursor and free cursor resources. Cursor cant be used in closed state.
