hyperkv
p2p key/value store over a hyperlog
using a multi-value register conflict strategy
example
put
var hyperkv = require('hyperkv')
var hyperlog = require('hyperlog')
var sub = require('subleveldown')
var level = require('level')
var db = level('/tmp/kv.db')
var kv = hyperkv({
log: hyperlog(sub(db, 'log'), { valueEncoding: 'json' }),
db: sub(db, 'kv')
})
var key = process.argv[2]
var value = process.argv[3]
kv.put(key, value, function (err, node) {
if (err) console.error(err)
else console.log(node.key)
})

api
var hyperkv = require('hyperkv')
var kv = hyperkv(opts)
kv.put(key, value, opts={}, cb)
Set key to a json value.
If opts.links is set, refer to previously set keys. Otherwise, the key will
refer to the current "head" key hashes.
If opts.fields is set, merge the object properties of opts.fields into the
raw document that is stored in the db alongside the k and v properties.
cb(err, node) fires from the underlying log.add() call.
kv.get(key, opts={}, cb)
Get the current values for key as cb(err, values) where values maps
hyperlog hashes to set values.
Each value is an object of one of two forms:
{ value: ... }- the value of the key{ deleted: true }- tombstone indicating the key has been deleted
It is possible to receive both types for the same key; it is left up to the api
consumer to decide how the data is best interpreted.
If there are no known values for key, values will be {}.
If opts.fields is true, include the raw document as each value instead of
individual values.
kv.del(key, opts={}, cb)
Remove key.
If opts.links is set, refer to previously set keys. Otherwise, the key will
refer to the current "head" key hashes.
Note that keys are only removed with respect to opts.links, not globally and
that edits made in forks may cause deleted keys to "reappear". This is by
design.
cb(err, node) fires from the underlying log.add() call.
If opts.fields is set, merge the object properties of opts.fields into the
raw document that is stored in the db alongside the d property.
kv.batch(rows, opts={}, cb)
Insert an array of documents rows atomically into the database.
Each row object in the rows array should have:
row.type- required, one of:'put'or'del'row.key- required key stringrow.value- value, required whenrow.type === 'put'row.links- optional array of ancestor hashes, defaults to most recent heads
for the key
cb(err, nodes) fires from the underlying log.batch() call.
var stream = kv.createReadStream(opts)
Create a readable object mode stream for each key/values in the store.
Each object row has:
row.key- the key set with.put()row.links- array of hashes that are the current holders for the keyrow.values- object mapping hashes to values
Optionally:
opts.values- set tofalseto turn off settingrow.values, which
requires an extra lookup in the implementationopts.fields- when true, include the full document instead of the valueopts.live- when true, keep the stream open and add additional matching
results as they are written to the dbopts.limit- close after this many documents if specified
var stream = kv.createHistoryStream(key, opts={})
Create a readable object mode stream with the history of key.
Each row object in the output stream has:
row.key- the key (as in key/value) of the documentrow.link- the hyperlog key (version hash) of the current documentrow.links- array of version hashes that are ancestors of this documentrow.value- value associated with this document
You might want to topologically sort the output before displaying it.
Otherwise, documents will always appear before their ancestors, but documents in
a fork have an undefined ordering.
kv.on('put', function (key, value, node) {})
Whenever a node is put, this event fires.
kv.on('update', function (key, value, node) {})
Whenever the indexes update through a put or replication, this event fires with
the underlying node object from the hyperlog.
usage
This package ships with a hyperkv command.
hyperkv put KEY VALUE {OPTIONS}
Insert a json VALUE at KEY.
--links Comma-separated list of ancestor hashes
hyperkv get KEY
Print a json object for the values at KEY,
mapping hashes to values.
hyperkv list
Print a list of keys and values as json, one per line.
hyperkv push
hyperkv pull
hyperkv sync
Replicate with another hyperkv using stdin and stdout.
install
npm install hyperkv
npm install -g hyperkv
