const { MemoryLevel } = require('memory-level')
// Create a database
const db = new MemoryLevel({ valueEncoding: 'json' })
// Add an entry with key 'a' and value 1
await db.put('a', 1)
// Add multiple entries
await db.batch([{ type: 'put', key: 'b', value: 2 }])
// Get value of key 'a': 1
const value = await db.get('a')
// Iterate entries with keys that are greater than 'a'
for await (const [key, value] of db.iterator({ gt: 'a' })) {
console.log(value) // 2
}The API of memory-level follows that of abstract-level with one additional constructor option (see below). The createIfMissing and errorIfExists options of abstract-level are not relevant here. Both implicit and explicit snapshots are supported. Data is discarded when the last reference to the database is released (i.e. db = null). Closing or reopening the database has no effect on the data. Data is not copied: when storing a Buffer value for example, subsequent mutations to that Buffer will affect the stored data too.
Besides abstract-level options, the optional options object may contain:
storeEncoding(string): one of'buffer','view','utf8'. How to store data internally. This affects which data types can be stored non-destructively. The default is'buffer'(that means Buffer) which is non-destructive. In browsers it may be preferable to use'view'(Uint8Array) to be able to exclude thebuffershim. Or if there's no need to store binary data, then'utf8'(String). Regardless of thestoreEncoding,memory-levelsupports input that is of any of the aforementioned types, but internally converts it to one type in order to provide a consistent sort order.
With npm do:
npm install memory-level
