Array on top of hyperbee
Array built on top of hyperbee.
It tries to follow the interface of the built-in Array type where it makes sense.
Note: modify hyperbee-arrays only through this class (not directly from the hyperbee),
and do not modify the same hyperbee from multiple instances of this class simultaneously.
Doing so can lead to an inconsistent data structure, or unexpected behaviour.
Warning: alfa status
npm i hyperbee-array
See example
const beeArray = new BeeArray(hyperbee, { subEncoder })
Make a new hyperbee-array instance from a Hyperbee instance.
You can pass in a subEncoder if you wish the array to live in a sub instead of in the main bee.
await beeArray.ready()
Ensure the beeArray is ready.
await beeArray.push(element)
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/push
Note: currently only allows pushing a single element.
await beeArray.at(index)
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/at
const stream = beeArray.createReadStream(options)
Returns a stream over (a range of) all entries
Accepts the same options as the equivalent method in hyperbee
The most relevant are 'gt', 'lt', 'gte' and 'lte', which should be integer and indicate the index where to start and end.
