level-capped

Capped collections for LevelDB.

Capping happens offline in order not to slow the main operations down.

Usage

var cap = require('level-capped');
var levelup = require('levelup');

var db = levelup(__dirname + '/db');

// cap the foo collection to 10 entries
var capped = cap(db, 'foo', 10);

// now insert data and eventually there will max. 10 entries
// in the foo collection
db.put('foo!01', 'bar');

// ...

API

cap(db[, prefix], max)

Let there never be more than max entries (that start with prefix).

cap#end()

Stop capping.

Installation

With npm do

$ npm install level-capped
