This project is just started. It's under heavy development!
The on-disk format structure and the API are NOT stable yet.
Please do NOT use it in any serious production.
btrdbfs is a project to run filesystem on btrdb using FUSE.
Deno:
``ts`
import { Database } from "https://deno.land/x/btrdb/mod.ts";
Node.js:
Install from NPM registry:
``
npm i @yuuza/btrdb
Import from ES module:
`js`
import { Database } from "@yuuza/btrdb";
Require from CommonJS module:
`js`
const { Database } = require("@yuuza/btrdb");
`ts`
const db = new Database();
await db.openFile("data.db");
// Will create new database if the file doesn't exist.
`ts
const configSet = await db.createSet("config");
// Get the set or create if not exist.
await configSet.set("username", "yuuza");
console.info(await configSet.get("username")); // "yuuza"
await db.commit();
// Commit to persist the changes.
`
`ts
interface User {
id: number; // A property named "id" is required.
username: string;
status: "online" | "offline";
}
const userSet = await db.createSet
// Get the set or create if not exist.
`
`ts
await userSet.insert({ username: "yuuza", status: "offline" });
// Insert a new document, auto id when it's not specified.
console.info(await userSet.get(1));
// { id: 1, username: "yuuza", status: "offline" }
await db.commit();
// Commit to persist the changes.
`
upsert will update the document with the same id, or insert a new document if
the id does not exist.
`ts
const user = await userSet.get(1);
user.status = "online";
// Get user and set its status
await userSet.upsert(user);
// Use upsert to apply the change.
console.info(await userSet.get(1));
// { id: 1, username: "yuuza", status: "online" }
await db.commit();
// Commit to persist the changes.
`
`ts
interface User {
id: number;
username: string;
status: "online" | "offline";
role: "admin" | "user";
}
const userSet = await db.createSet
// Define indexes on the set and update indexes if needed.
await userSet.useIndexes({
status: (u) => u.status,
// define "status" index, which indexing the value of user.status for each user in the set
role: (user) => user.role,
username: { unique: true, key: (u) => u.username },
// define "username" unique index, which does not allow duplicated username.
onlineAdmin: (u) => u.status == "online" && u.role == "admin",
// define "onlineAdmin" index, the value is a computed boolean.
});
await userSet.insert({ username: "yuuza", status: "online", role: "user" });
await userSet.insert({ username: "foo", status: "offline", role: "admin" });
await userSet.insert({ username: "bar", status: "online", role: "admin" });
await db.commit();
// Get all online users
console.info(await userSet.findIndex("status", "online"));
// [
// { username: "yuuza", status: "online", role: "user", id: 1 },
// { username: "bar", status: "online", role: "admin", id: 3 }
// ]
// Get all users named 'yuuza'
console.info(await userSet.findIndex("username", "yuuza"));
// [ { username: "yuuza", status: "online", role: "user", id: 1 } ]
// Get all online admins
console.info(await userSet.findIndex("onlineAdmin", true));
// [ { username: "bar", status: "online", role: "admin", id: 3 } ]
`
Querying on indexes is supported.
Queries can be created from the query tagged template parser for better
readability.
Operators: ==, !=, >, <, <=, >=, AND, OR, NOT, SKIP,LIMIT, (, )
Always use ${} to pass values.
`ts
// Get all offline admins
console.info(
await userSet.query(query
status == ${"offline"}
AND role == ${"admin"}
),
);
// [ { username: "foo", status: "offline", role: "admin", id: 2 } ]
// Get all online users, but exclude id 1.
console.info(
await userSet.query(query
status == ${"online"}
AND NOT id == ${1}
),`
);
// [ { username: "bar", status: "online", role: "admin", id: 3 } ]
Query functions: EQ (==), NE (!=), LT (<), GT (>), LE (<=), GE (>=),AND, OR, NOT, SLICE.
`ts
// Get all offline admins
console.info(
await userSet.query(AND(EQ("status", "offline"), EQ("role", "admin"))),
);
// [ { username: "foo", status: "offline", role: "admin", id: 2 } ]
// Get all online users, but exclude id 1.
console.info(
await userSet.query(
AND(
EQ("status", "online"),
NOT(EQ("id", 1)), // "id" is a special "index" name
),
),
);
// [ { username: "bar", status: "online", role: "admin", id: 3 } ]
`
Database.runTransaction(async () => { ... }) could be used for auto commiting
and rolling back.
It guarantees:
- The promise is resolved when it committed.
- Other transactions could be concurrently executed.
- Only commits when all transactions are completed.
- Rollback when any transaction is failed, and rerun other successful concurrent
transactions.
The transaction function might be re-run in case of replaying.
Since btrdb uses CoW mechanism and never overwrites data on-disk, creating
"snapshot" have almost no cost.
`ts
const dataSet = await db.createSet("data");
await dataSet.set("foo", "bar");
// Commit then create a "named snapshot"
await db.createSnapshot("backup");
await dataSet.set("someone", "messed up your data!");
await dataSet.set("foo", "no bar!");
await db.commit();
// Get a "named snapshot".
const snap = await db.getSnapshot("backup");
// Read data from the snapshot
console.info(await snap.getSet("data").get("foo"));
``

(Outdated. To be added: documents tree, indexes tree, data pages, named
snapshots)
