level-sublevel
Separate sections of levelup, with hooks!
This module allows you to create seperate sections of a
levelup database,
kinda like tables in an sql database, but evented, and ranged,
for real-time changing data.
Stability
Unstable: Expect patches and features, possible api changes.
This is module is working well, but may change in the future as it's use is futher explored.
Example
var LevelUp = require('levelup')
var Sublevel = require('level-sublevel')
var db = Sublevel(LevelUp('/tmp/sublevel-example'))
var sub = db.sublevel('stuff')
db.put(key, value, function () {
})
sub.put(key2, value, function () {
})
Sublevel prefixes each subsection so that it will not collide
with the outer db when saving or reading!
Hooks
Hooks are specially built into Sublevel so that you can
do all sorts of clever stuff, like generating views or
logs when records are inserted!
Records added via hooks will be atomically with the triggering change.
Hooks Example
Whenever a record is inserted,
save an index to it by the time it was inserted.
var sub = db.sublevel('SEQ')
db.pre(function (ch, add) {
add({
key: ''+Date.now(),
value: ch.key,
type: 'put',
prefix: sub
})
})
db.put('key', 'VALUE', function (err) {
sub.createReadStream()
.on('data', console.log)
})
Notice that sub
is the second argument to add
,
which tells the hook to save the new record in the sub
section.
Batches
In sublevel
batches also support a prefix: subdb
property,
if set, this row will be inserted into that database section,
instead of the current section.
var sub1 = db.sublevel('SUB_1')
var sub2 = db.sublevel('SUM_2')
sub.batch([
{key: 'key', value: 'Value', type: 'put'},
{key: 'key', value: 'Value', type: 'put', prefix: sub2},
], function (err) {...})
