level-fs

level-fs

node's fs module with leveldb as backend.

Usage

var level = require('level');
var db = level(__dirname + '/db');
var fs = require('level-fs')(db);

fs.readFile('/etc/passwd', function (err, data) {
  if (err) throw err;
  console.log(data);
});

How it works

Paths are sublevels, so /a/b/c is basically db.sublevel('a').sublevel('b').get('c'). Streaming access to stored data is provided through level-store.

• readFile(filename, [options], callback)
• writeFile(filename, data, [options], callback)
• unlink(path, callback)
