js-datastore-level
Datastore implementation with levelup backend.
Table of Contents
Install
$ npm install datastore-level
Usage
import { LevelDatastore } from 'datastore-level'
// Default using level as backend for node or the browser
const store = new LevelDatastore('path/to/store')
// another leveldown compliant backend like memdown
const memStore = new LevelDatastore('my/mem/store', {
db: require('level-mem')
})
Browser Shimming Leveldown
LevelStore uses the level module to automatically use level.js if a modern bundler is used which can detect bundle targets based on the pkg.browser property in your package.json.
If you are using a bundler that does not support pkg.browser, you will need to handle the shimming yourself, as was the case with versions of LevelStore 0.7.0 and earlier.
Database names
level-js@3 changed the database prefix from IDBWrapper- to level-js-, so please specify the old prefix if you wish to continue using databases created using datastore-level prior to v0.12.0. E.g.
import leveljs from 'level-js'
import browserStore = new LevelDatastore('my/db/name', {
db: (path) => leveljs(path, {
prefix: 'IDBWrapper-'
})
})
