🌟 Why Ruvector?

$3

Most vector databases force you to choose between three painful trade-offs:

1. Cloud-Only Services (Pinecone, Weaviate Cloud) - Expensive, vendor lock-in, latency issues, API rate limits
2. Python-First Solutions (ChromaDB, Faiss) - Poor Node.js support, require separate Python processes
3. Self-Hosted Complexity (Milvus, Qdrant) - Heavy infrastructure, Docker orchestration, operational overhead

$3

Install Ruvector with a single npm command:

`bash
npm install ruvector
`

What happens during installation:
- npm automatically detects your platform (Linux, macOS, Windows)
- Downloads the correct native binary for maximum performance
- Falls back to WebAssembly if native binaries aren't available
- No additional setup, Docker, or external services required

Windows Installation (without build tools):
`bash


Skip native compilation, use WASM fallback

npm install ruvector --ignore-scripts

The ONNX WASM runtime (7.4MB) works without build tools

Memory cache provides 40,000x speedup over inference

`

Verify installation:
`bash
npx ruvector info
`

You should see your platform and implementation type (native Rust or WASM fallback).

Let's create a simple vector database and perform basic operations. This example demonstrates the complete CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) workflow:

`javascript
const { VectorDb } = require('ruvector');

async function tutorial() {
// Step 2.1: Create a new vector database
// The 'dimensions' parameter must match your embedding model
// Common sizes: 128, 384 (sentence-transformers), 768 (BERT), 1536 (OpenAI)
const db = new VectorDb({
dimensions: 128, // Vector size - MUST match your embeddings
maxElements: 10000, // Maximum vectors (can grow automatically)
storagePath: './my-vectors.db' // Persist to disk (omit for in-memory)
});

console.log('✅ Database created successfully');

// Step 2.2: Insert vectors
// In real applications, these would come from an embedding model
const documents = [
{ id: 'doc1', text: 'Artificial intelligence and machine learning' },
{ id: 'doc2', text: 'Deep learning neural networks' },
{ id: 'doc3', text: 'Natural language processing' },
];

for (const doc of documents) {
// Generate random vector for demonstration
// In production: use OpenAI, Cohere, or sentence-transformers
const vector = new Float32Array(128).map(() => Math.random());

await db.insert({
id: doc.id,
vector: vector,
metadata: {
text: doc.text,
timestamp: Date.now(),
category: 'AI'
}
});

console.log(✅ Inserted: ${doc.id});
}

// Step 2.3: Search for similar vectors
// Create a query vector (in production, this would be from your search query)
const queryVector = new Float32Array(128).map(() => Math.random());

const results = await db.search({
vector: queryVector,
k: 5, // Return top 5 most similar vectors
threshold: 0.7 // Only return results with similarity > 0.7
});

console.log('\n🔍 Search Results:');
results.forEach((result, index) => {
console.log(${index + 1}. ${result.id} - Score: ${result.score.toFixed(3)});
console.log( Text: ${result.metadata.text});
});

// Step 2.4: Retrieve a specific vector
const retrieved = await db.get('doc1');
if (retrieved) {
console.log('\n📄 Retrieved document:', retrieved.metadata.text);
}

// Step 2.5: Get database statistics
const count = await db.len();
console.log(\n📊 Total vectors in database: ${count});

// Step 2.6: Delete a vector
const deleted = await db.delete('doc1');
console.log(\n🗑️ Deleted doc1: ${deleted ? 'Success' : 'Not found'});

// Final count
const finalCount = await db.len();
console.log(📊 Final count: ${finalCount});
}

// Run the tutorial
tutorial().catch(console.error);
`

Expected Output:
`
✅ Database created successfully
✅ Inserted: doc1
✅ Inserted: doc2
✅ Inserted: doc3

🔍 Search Results:
1. doc2 - Score: 0.892
Text: Deep learning neural networks
2. doc1 - Score: 0.856
Text: Artificial intelligence and machine learning
3. doc3 - Score: 0.801
Text: Natural language processing

📄 Retrieved document: Artificial intelligence and machine learning

📊 Total vectors in database: 3

🗑️ Deleted doc1: Success
📊 Final count: 2
`

Ruvector provides full TypeScript support with complete type safety. Here's how to use it:

`typescript
import { VectorDb, VectorEntry, SearchQuery, SearchResult } from 'ruvector';

// Step 3.1: Define your custom metadata type
interface DocumentMetadata {
title: string;
content: string;
author: string;
date: Date;
tags: string[];
}

async function typescriptTutorial() {
// Step 3.2: Create typed database
const db = new VectorDb({
dimensions: 384, // sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2
maxElements: 10000,
storagePath: './typed-vectors.db'
});

// Step 3.3: Type-safe vector entry
const entry: VectorEntry = {
id: 'article-001',
vector: new Float32Array(384), // Your embedding here
metadata: {
title: 'Introduction to Vector Databases',
content: 'Vector databases enable semantic search...',
author: 'Jane Doe',
date: new Date('2024-01-15'),
tags: ['database', 'AI', 'search']
}
};

// Step 3.4: Insert with type checking
await db.insert(entry);
console.log('✅ Inserted typed document');

// Step 3.5: Type-safe search
const query: SearchQuery = {
vector: new Float32Array(384),
k: 10,
threshold: 0.8
};

// Step 3.6: Fully typed results
const results: SearchResult[] = await db.search(query);

// TypeScript knows the exact shape of metadata
results.forEach(result => {
console.log(Title: ${result.metadata.title});
console.log(Author: ${result.metadata.author});
console.log(Tags: ${result.metadata.tags.join(', ')});
console.log(Similarity: ${result.score.toFixed(3)}\n);
});

// Step 3.7: Type-safe retrieval
const doc = await db.get('article-001');
if (doc) {
// TypeScript autocomplete works perfectly here
const publishYear = doc.metadata.date.getFullYear();
console.log(Published in ${publishYear});
}
}

typescriptTutorial().catch(console.error);
`

TypeScript Benefits:
- ✅ Full autocomplete for all methods and properties
- ✅ Compile-time type checking prevents errors
- ✅ IDE IntelliSense shows documentation
- ✅ Custom metadata types for your use case
- ✅ No any types - fully typed throughout

🎯 Platform Detection

Ruvector automatically detects the best implementation for your platform:

`javascript
const { getImplementationType, isNative, isWasm } = require('ruvector');

console.log(getImplementationType()); // 'native' or 'wasm'
console.log(isNative()); // true if using native Rust
console.log(isWasm()); // true if using WebAssembly fallback

// Performance varies by implementation:
// Native (Rust): <0.5ms latency, 50K+ ops/sec
// WASM fallback: 10-50ms latency, ~1K ops/sec
`

#### How Self-Learning Works

1. Pattern Recording: Every edit and command is recorded with context
2. Q-Learning: Success/failure updates agent routing weights
3. AST Analysis: Code complexity informs agent selection
4. Diff Embeddings: Change patterns improve risk assessment
5. Coverage Routing: Test coverage guides testing priorities
6. Vector Memory: Decisions and references stored for semantic recall (HNSW indexed)
7. Continuous Improvement: The more you use it, the smarter it gets

Prerequisites:
`bash
npm install ruvector openai
export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
`

Complete Implementation:

`javascript
const { VectorDb } = require('ruvector');
const OpenAI = require('openai');

this.db = new VectorDb({
dimensions: 1536,
maxElements: 100000,
storagePath: './rag-knowledge-base.db'
});

console.log('✅ RAG System initialized');
}

// Step 1: Index your knowledge base
async indexDocuments(documents) {

});

console.log(📄 Found ${results.length} relevant documents\n);

return results.map(r => ({
content: r.metadata.content,
title: r.metadata.title,
score: r.score
}));
}

// Step 3: Generate answer with retrieved context

Remove a vector from the database.

`javascript
const deleted = await db.delete('doc_1');
console.log(deleted ? 'Deleted' : 'Not found');
`

#### len(): Promise
Get the total number of vectors.

`javascript
const count = await db.len();
console.log(Total vectors: ${count});
`

🎨 Advanced Configuration

$3

`javascript
const db = new VectorDb({
dimensions: 384,
maxElements: 1000000,
ef_construction: 200, // Higher = better recall, slower build
m: 16, // Higher = better recall, more memory
storagePath: './large-db.db'
});
`

Parameter Guidelines:
- ef_construction: 100-400 (higher = better recall, slower indexing)
- m: 8-64 (higher = better recall, more memory)
- Default values work well for most use cases

$3

`javascript
// Cosine similarity (default, best for normalized vectors)
const db1 = new VectorDb({
dimensions: 128,
distanceMetric: 'cosine'
});

// Euclidean distance (L2, best for spatial data)
const db2 = new VectorDb({
dimensions: 128,
distanceMetric: 'euclidean'
});

// Dot product (best for pre-normalized vectors)
const db3 = new VectorDb({
dimensions: 128,
distanceMetric: 'dot'
});
`

$3

`javascript
// Auto-save to disk
const persistent = new VectorDb({
dimensions: 128,
storagePath: './persistent.db'
});

// In-memory only (faster, but data lost on exit)
const temporary = new VectorDb({
dimensions: 128
// No storagePath = in-memory
});
`

📦 Platform Support

Automatically installs the correct implementation for:

$3

- Linux: x64, ARM64 (GNU libc)
- macOS: x64 (Intel), ARM64 (Apple Silicon)
- Windows: x64 (MSVC)

Performance: <0.5ms latency, 50K+ ops/sec

$3

- Any platform where native module isn't available
- Browser environments (experimental)
- Alpine Linux (musl) and other non-glibc systems

Performance: 10-50ms latency, ~1K ops/sec

Node.js 18+ required for all platforms.

🔧 Building from Source

If you need to rebuild the native module:

`bash


Install Rust toolchain

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

Clone repository

git clone https://github.com/ruvnet/ruvector.git
cd ruvector

Build native module

cd npm/packages/core
npm run build:napi

Build wrapper package

cd ../ruvector
npm install
npm run build

Run tests

npm test
`

Requirements:
- Rust 1.77+
- Node.js 18+
- Cargo

🌍 Ecosystem

- ruvector-core-win32-x64-msvc

🐛 Troubleshooting

$3

If you see "Cannot find module 'ruvector-core-*'":

`bash


Reinstall with optional dependencies

npm install --include=optional ruvector

Verify platform

npx ruvector info

Check Node.js version (18+ required)

node --version
`

$3

If you're using WASM fallback and need better performance:

1. Install native toolchain for your platform
2. Rebuild native module: npm rebuild ruvector
3. Verify native: npx ruvector info should show "native (Rust)"

$3

- Alpine Linux: Uses WASM fallback (musl not supported)
- Windows ARM: Not yet supported, uses WASM fallback
- Node.js < 18: Not supported, upgrade to Node.js 18+
