Install

This project uses npm and nodejs

npm install orbit-db-docstore

Usage

import * as IPFS from 'ipfs'
import OrbitDB from 'orbit-db'

const ipfs = new IPFS()
const orbitdb = await OrbitDB.createInstance(ipfs)
const docstore = await orbitdb.docstore('db name')

docstore.put({ _id: 'hello world', doc: 'all the things' })
  .then(() => docstore.put({ _id: 'sup world', doc: 'other things' }))
  .then(() => docstore.get('hello'))
  .then((value) => console.log(value))
  // [{ _id: 'hello world', doc: 'all the things'}]

You can specify the field to index by in the options:

const docstore = await orbitdb.docstore('db name', { indexBy: 'doc' })

docstore.put({ _id: 'hello world', doc: 'some things' })
  .then(() => docstore.put({ _id: 'hello universe', doc: 'all the things' }))
  .then(() => docstore.get('all'))
  .then((value) => console.log(value))
  // [{ _id: 'hello universe', doc: 'all the things'}]

You can also use a mapper to query the documents

const docstore = await orbitdb.docstore('db name')

docstore.put({ _id: 'hello world', doc: 'some things', views: 10 })
  .then(() => docstore.put({ _id: 'hello universe', doc: 'all the things', views: 100 }))
  .then(() => docstore.put({ _id: 'sup world', doc: 'other things', views: 5 }))
  .then(() => docstore.query((e)=> e.views > 5))
  .then((value) => console.log(value))
  // [{ _id: 'hello world', doc: 'some things', views: 10}, { _id: 'hello universe', doc: 'all the things', views: 100}]

API

See orbit-db API documentation for full details

docstore(name, options)

Package: orbit-db-docstore

const db = await orbitdb.docstore('orbit.users.shamb0t.profile')

By default, documents are indexed by field '_id'. You can also specify the field to index by:

const db = await orbitdb.docstore('orbit.users.shamb0t.profile', { indexBy: 'name' })

• put(doc)

  db.put({ _id: 'QmAwesomeIpfsHash', name: 'shamb0t', followers: 500 }).then((hash) => ...)

• get(key)

  const profile = db.get('shamb0t')
    .map((e) => e.payload.value)
  // [{ _id: 'shamb0t', name: 'shamb0t', followers: 500 }]

• query(mapper)

  const all = db.query((doc) => doc.followers >= 500)
  // [{ _id: 'shamb0t', name: 'shamb0t', followers: 500 }]

• del(key)

  db.del('shamb0t').then((removed) => ...)

• events

  db.events.on('data', (dbname, event) => ... )

  See events for full description.
