- ### Creating/loading a database
51
- You can use NeDB as an in-memory only datastore or as a persistent datastore. One datastore is the equivalent of a MongoDB collection. The constructor is used as follows `new Datastore(options)` where `options` is an object with the following fields:
52
-
53
- * `filename` (optional): path to the file where the data is persisted. If left blank, the datastore is automatically considered in-memory only. It cannot end with a `~` which is used in the temporary files NeDB uses to perform crash-safe writes.
54
- * `inMemoryOnly` (optional, defaults to `false`): as the name implies.
55
- * `timestampData` (optional, defaults to `false`): timestamp the insertion and last update of all documents, with the fields `createdAt` and `updatedAt`. User-specified values override automatic generation, usually useful for testing.
56
- * `autoload` (optional, defaults to `false`): if used, the database will automatically be loaded from the datafile upon creation (you don't need to call `loadDatabase`). Any command issued before load is finished is buffered and will be executed when load is done.
57
- * `onload` (optional): if you use autoloading, this is the handler called after the `loadDatabase`. It takes one `error` argument. If you use autoloading without specifying this handler, and an error happens during load, an error will be thrown.
58
- * `afterSerialization` (optional): hook you can use to transform data after it was serialized and before it is written to disk. Can be used for example to encrypt data before writing database to disk. This function takes a string as parameter (one line of an NeDB data file) and outputs the transformed string, **which must absolutely not contain a `\n` character** (or data will be lost).
59
- * `beforeDeserialization` (optional): inverse of `afterSerialization`. Make sure to include both and not just one or you risk data loss. For the same reason, make sure both functions are inverses of one another. Some failsafe mechanisms are in place to prevent data loss if you misuse the serialization hooks: NeDB checks that never one is declared without the other, and checks that they are reverse of one another by testing on random strings of various lengths. In addition, if too much data is detected as corrupt, NeDB will refuse to start as it could mean you're not using the deserialization hook corresponding to the serialization hook used before (see below).
60
- * `corruptAlertThreshold` (optional): between 0 and 1, defaults to 10%. NeDB will refuse to start if more than this percentage of the datafile is corrupt. 0 means you don't tolerate any corruption, 1 means you don't care.
61
- * `compareStrings` (optional): function compareStrings(a, b) compares
62
- strings a and b and return -1, 0 or 1. If specified, it overrides
63
- default string comparison which is not well adapted to non-US characters
64
- in particular accented letters. Native `localCompare` will most of the
65
- time be the right choice
66
- * `nodeWebkitAppName` (optional, **DEPRECATED**): if you are using NeDB from whithin a Node Webkit app, specify its name (the same one you use in the `package.json`) in this field and the `filename` will be relative to the directory Node Webkit uses to store the rest of the application's data (local storage etc.). It works on Linux, OS X and Windows. Now that you can use `require('nw.gui').App.dataPath` in Node Webkit to get the path to the data directory for your application, you should not use this option anymore and it will be removed.
67
-
68
- If you use a persistent datastore without the `autoload` option, you need to call `loadDatabase` manually.
69
- This function fetches the data from datafile and prepares the database. **Don't forget it!** If you use a
70
- persistent datastore, no command (insert, find, update, remove) will be executed before `loadDatabase`
71
- is called, so make sure to call it yourself or use the `autoload` option.
72
-
73
- Also, if `loadDatabase` fails, all commands registered to the executor afterwards will not be executed. They will be registered and executed, in sequence, only after a successful `loadDatabase`.
74
-
75
- ```javascript
76
- // Type 1: In-memory only datastore (no need to load the database)
77
- var Datastore = require('nedb')
78
- , db = new Datastore();
79
-
80
-
81
- // Type 2: Persistent datastore with manual loading
82
- var Datastore = require('nedb')
83
- , db = new Datastore({ filename: 'path/to/datafile' });
84
- db.loadDatabase(function (err) { // Callback is optional
85
- // Now commands will be executed
86
- });
87
-
88
-
89
- // Type 3: Persistent datastore with automatic loading
90
- var Datastore = require('nedb')
91
- , db = new Datastore({ filename: 'path/to/datafile', autoload: true });
92
- // You can issue commands right away
93
-
94
-
95
- // Type 4: Persistent datastore for a Node Webkit app called 'nwtest'
96
- // For example on Linux, the datafile will be ~/.config/nwtest/nedb-data/something.db
97
- var Datastore = require('nedb')
98
- , path = require('path')
99
- , db = new Datastore({ filename: path.join(require('nw.gui').App.dataPath, 'something.db') });
100
-
101
-
102
- // Of course you can create multiple datastores if you need several
103
- // collections. In this case it's usually a good idea to use autoload for all collections.
104
- db = {};
105
- db.users = new Datastore('path/to/users.db');
106
- db.robots = new Datastore('path/to/robots.db');
107
-
108
- // You need to load each database (here we do it asynchronously)
109
- db.users.loadDatabase();
110
- db.robots.loadDatabase();
111
- ```
112
-
113
- ### Persistence
114
- Under the hood, NeDB's persistence uses an append-only format, meaning that all updates and deletes actually result in lines added at the end of the datafile, for performance reasons. The database is automatically compacted (i.e. put back in the one-line-per-document format) every time you load each database within your application.
115
-
116
- You can manually call the compaction function with `yourDatabase.persistence.compactDatafile` which takes no argument. It queues a compaction of the datafile in the executor, to be executed sequentially after all pending operations. The datastore will fire a `compaction.done` event once compaction is finished.
117
-
118
- You can also set automatic compaction at regular intervals with `yourDatabase.persistence.setAutocompactionInterval(interval)`, `interval` in milliseconds (a minimum of 5s is enforced), and stop automatic compaction with `yourDatabase.persistence.stopAutocompaction()`.
119
-
120
- Keep in mind that compaction takes a bit of time (not too much: 130ms for 50k records on a typical development machine) and no other operation can happen when it does, so most projects actually don't need to use it.
121
-
122
- Compaction will also immediately remove any documents whose data line has become corrupted, assuming that the total percentage of all corrupted documents in that database still falls below the specified `corruptAlertThreshold` option's value.
123
-
124
- Durability works similarly to major databases: compaction forces the OS to physically flush data to disk, while appends to the data file do not (the OS is responsible for flushing the data). That guarantees that a server crash can never cause complete data loss, while preserving performance. The worst that can happen is a crash between two syncs, causing a loss of all data between the two syncs. Usually syncs are 30 seconds appart so that's at most 30 seconds of data. <a href="http://oldblog.antirez.com/post/redis-persistence-demystified.html" target="_blank">This post by Antirez on Redis persistence</a> explains this in more details, NeDB being very close to Redis AOF persistence with `appendfsync` option set to `no`.

127
- ### Inserting documents
128
- The native types are `String`, `Number`, `Boolean`, `Date` and `null`. You can also use
129
- arrays and subdocuments (objects). If a field is `undefined`, it will not be saved (this is different from
130
- MongoDB which transforms `undefined` in `null`, something I find counter-intuitive).
131
-
132
- If the document does not contain an `_id` field, NeDB will automatically generated one for you (a 16-characters alphanumerical string). The `_id` of a document, once set, cannot be modified.
133
-
134
- Field names cannot begin by '$' or contain a '.'.
135
-
136
- ```javascript
137
- var doc = { hello: 'world'
138
- , n: 5
139
- , today: new Date()
140
- , nedbIsAwesome: true
141
- , notthere: null
142
- , notToBeSaved: undefined // Will not be saved
143
- , fruits: [ 'apple', 'orange', 'pear' ]
144
- , infos: { name: 'nedb' }
145
- };
146
-
147
- db.insert(doc, function (err, newDoc) { // Callback is optional
148
- // newDoc is the newly inserted document, including its _id
149
- // newDoc has no key called notToBeSaved since its value was undefined
150
- });
151
- ```
152
-
153
- You can also bulk-insert an array of documents. This operation is atomic, meaning that if one insert fails due to a unique constraint being violated, all changes are rolled back.
154
-
155
- ```javascript
156
- db.insert([{ a: 5 }, { a: 42 }], function (err, newDocs) {
157
- // Two documents were inserted in the database
158
- // newDocs is an array with these documents, augmented with their _id
159
- });
160
-
161
- // If there is a unique constraint on field 'a', this will fail
162
- db.insert([{ a: 5 }, { a: 42 }, { a: 5 }], function (err) {
163
- // err is a 'uniqueViolated' error
164
- // The database was not modified
165
- });
166
- ```
167
-
168
- ### Finding documents
169
- Use `find` to look for multiple documents matching you query, or `findOne` to look for one specific document. You can select documents based on field equality or use comparison operators (`$lt`, `$lte`, `$gt`, `$gte`, `$in`, `$nin`, `$ne`). You can also use logical operators `$or`, `$and`, `$not` and `$where`. See below for the syntax.
170
-
171
- You can use regular expressions in two ways: in basic querying in place of a string, or with the `$regex` operator.
172
-
173
- You can sort and paginate results using the cursor API (see below).
174
-
175
- You can use standard projections to restrict the fields to appear in the results (see below).
176
-
177
- #### Basic querying
178
- Basic querying means are looking for documents whose fields match the ones you specify. You can use regular expression to match strings.
179
- You can use the dot notation to navigate inside nested documents, arrays, arrays of subdocuments and to match a specific element of an array.
180
-
181
- ```javascript
182
- // Let's say our datastore contains the following collection
183
- // { _id: 'id1', planet: 'Mars', system: 'solar', inhabited: false, satellites: ['Phobos', 'Deimos'] }
184
- // { _id: 'id2', planet: 'Earth', system: 'solar', inhabited: true, humans: { genders: 2, eyes: true } }
185
- // { _id: 'id3', planet: 'Jupiter', system: 'solar', inhabited: false }
186
- // { _id: 'id4', planet: 'Omicron Persei 8', system: 'futurama', inhabited: true, humans: { genders: 7 } }
187
- // { _id: 'id5', completeData: { planets: [ { name: 'Earth', number: 3 }, { name: 'Mars', number: 2 }, { name: 'Pluton', number: 9 } ] } }
188
-
189
- // Finding all planets in the solar system
190
- db.find({ system: 'solar' }, function (err, docs) {
191
- // docs is an array containing documents Mars, Earth, Jupiter
192
- // If no document is found, docs is equal to []
193
- });
194
-
195
- // Finding all planets whose name contain the substring 'ar' using a regular expression
196
- db.find({ planet: /ar/ }, function (err, docs) {
197
- // docs contains Mars and Earth
198
- });
199
-
200
- // Finding all inhabited planets in the solar system
201
- db.find({ system: 'solar', inhabited: true }, function (err, docs) {
202
- // docs is an array containing document Earth only
203
- });
204
-
205
- // Use the dot-notation to match fields in subdocuments
206
- db.find({ "humans.genders": 2 }, function (err, docs) {
207
- // docs contains Earth
208
- });
209
-
210
- // Use the dot-notation to navigate arrays of subdocuments
211
- db.find({ "completeData.planets.name": "Mars" }, function (err, docs) {
212
- // docs contains document 5
213
- });
214
-
215
- db.find({ "completeData.planets.name": "Jupiter" }, function (err, docs) {
216
- // docs is empty
217
- });
218
-
219
- db.find({ "completeData.planets.0.name": "Earth" }, function (err, docs) {
220
- // docs contains document 5
221
- // If we had tested against "Mars" docs would be empty because we are matching against a specific array element
222
- });
223
-
224
-
225
- // You can also deep-compare objects. Don't confuse this with dot-notation!
226
- db.find({ humans: { genders: 2 } }, function (err, docs) {
227
- // docs is empty, because { genders: 2 } is not equal to { genders: 2, eyes: true }
228
- });
229
-
230
- // Find all documents in the collection
231
- db.find({}, function (err, docs) {
232
- });
233
-
234
- // The same rules apply when you want to only find one document
235
- db.findOne({ _id: 'id1' }, function (err, doc) {
236
- // doc is the document Mars
237
- // If no document is found, doc is null
238
- });
239
- ```
240
-
241
- #### Operators ($lt, $lte, $gt, $gte, $in, $nin, $ne, $exists, $regex)
242
- The syntax is `{ field: { $op: value } }` where `$op` is any comparison operator:
243
-
244
- * `$lt`, `$lte`: less than, less than or equal
245
- * `$gt`, `$gte`: greater than, greater than or equal
246
- * `$in`: member of. `value` must be an array of values
247
- * `$ne`, `$nin`: not equal, not a member of
248
- * `$exists`: checks whether the document posses the property `field`. `value` should be true or false
249
- * `$regex`: checks whether a string is matched by the regular expression. Contrary to MongoDB, the use of `$options` with `$regex` is not supported, because it doesn't give you more power than regex flags. Basic queries are more readable so only use the `$regex` operator when you need to use another operator with it (see example below)
250
-
251
- ```javascript
252
- // $lt, $lte, $gt and $gte work on numbers and strings
253
- db.find({ "humans.genders": { $gt: 5 } }, function (err, docs) {
254
- // docs contains Omicron Persei 8, whose humans have more than 5 genders (7).
255
- });
256
-
257
- // When used with strings, lexicographical order is used
258
- db.find({ planet: { $gt: 'Mercury' }}, function (err, docs) {
259
- // docs contains Omicron Persei 8
260
- })
261
-
262
- // Using $in. $nin is used in the same way
263
- db.find({ planet: { $in: ['Earth', 'Jupiter'] }}, function (err, docs) {
264
- // docs contains Earth and Jupiter
265
- });
266
-
267
- // Using $exists
268
- db.find({ satellites: { $exists: true } }, function (err, docs) {
269
- // docs contains only Mars
270
- });
271
-
272
- // Using $regex with another operator
273
- db.find({ planet: { $regex: /ar/, $nin: ['Jupiter', 'Earth'] } }, function (err, docs) {
274
- // docs only contains Mars because Earth was excluded from the match by $nin
275
- });
276
- ```
277
-
278
- #### Array fields
279
- When a field in a document is an array, NeDB first tries to see if the query value is an array to perform an exact match, then whether there is an array-specific comparison function (for now there is only `$size` and `$elemMatch`) being used. If not, the query is treated as a query on every element and there is a match if at least one element matches.
280
-
281
- * `$size`: match on the size of the array
282
- * `$elemMatch`: matches if at least one array element matches the query entirely
283
-
284
- ```javascript
285
- // Exact match
286
- db.find({ satellites: ['Phobos', 'Deimos'] }, function (err, docs) {
287
- // docs contains Mars
288
- })
289
- db.find({ satellites: ['Deimos', 'Phobos'] }, function (err, docs) {
290
- // docs is empty
291
- })
292
-
293
- // Using an array-specific comparison function
294
- // $elemMatch operator will provide match for a document, if an element from the array field satisfies all the conditions specified with the `$elemMatch` operator
295
- db.find({ completeData: { planets: { $elemMatch: { name: 'Earth', number: 3 } } } }, function (err, docs) {
296
- // docs contains documents with id 5 (completeData)
297
- });
298
-
299
- db.find({ completeData: { planets: { $elemMatch: { name: 'Earth', number: 5 } } } }, function (err, docs) {
300
- // docs is empty
301
- });
302
-
303
- // You can use inside #elemMatch query any known document query operator
304
- db.find({ completeData: { planets: { $elemMatch: { name: 'Earth', number: { $gt: 2 } } } } }, function (err, docs) {
305
- // docs contains documents with id 5 (completeData)
306
- });
307
-
308
- // Note: you can't use nested comparison functions, e.g. { $size: { $lt: 5 } } will throw an error
309
- db.find({ satellites: { $size: 2 } }, function (err, docs) {
310
- // docs contains Mars
311
- });
312
-
313
- db.find({ satellites: { $size: 1 } }, function (err, docs) {
314
- // docs is empty
315
- });
316
-
317
- // If a document's field is an array, matching it means matching any element of the array
318
- db.find({ satellites: 'Phobos' }, function (err, docs) {
319
- // docs contains Mars. Result would have been the same if query had been { satellites: 'Deimos' }
320
- });
321
-
322
- // This also works for queries that use comparison operators
323
- db.find({ satellites: { $lt: 'Amos' } }, function (err, docs) {
324
- // docs is empty since Phobos and Deimos are after Amos in lexicographical order
325
- });
326
-
327
- // This also works with the $in and $nin operator
328
- db.find({ satellites: { $in: ['Moon', 'Deimos'] } }, function (err, docs) {
329
- // docs contains Mars (the Earth document is not complete!)
330
- });
331
- ```
332
-
333
- #### Logical operators $or, $and, $not, $where
334
- You can combine queries using logical operators:
335
-
336
- * For `$or` and `$and`, the syntax is `{ $op: [query1, query2, ...] }`.
337
- * For `$not`, the syntax is `{ $not: query }`
338
- * For `$where`, the syntax is `{ $where: function () { /* object is "this", return a boolean */ } }`
339
-
340
- ```javascript
341
- db.find({ $or: [{ planet: 'Earth' }, { planet: 'Mars' }] }, function (err, docs) {
342
- // docs contains Earth and Mars
343
- });
344
-
345
- db.find({ $not: { planet: 'Earth' } }, function (err, docs) {
346
- // docs contains Mars, Jupiter, Omicron Persei 8
347
- });
348
-
349
- db.find({ $where: function () { return Object.keys(this) > 6; } }, function (err, docs) {
350
- // docs with more than 6 properties
351
- });
352
-
353
- // You can mix normal queries, comparison queries and logical operators
354
- db.find({ $or: [{ planet: 'Earth' }, { planet: 'Mars' }], inhabited: true }, function (err, docs) {
355
- // docs contains Earth
356
- });
357
-
358
- ```
359
-
360
- #### Sorting and paginating
361
- If you don't specify a callback to `find`, `findOne` or `count`, a `Cursor` object is returned. You can modify the cursor with `sort`, `skip` and `limit` and then execute it with `exec(callback)`.
362
-
363
- ```javascript
364
- // Let's say the database contains these 4 documents
365
- // doc1 = { _id: 'id1', planet: 'Mars', system: 'solar', inhabited: false, satellites: ['Phobos', 'Deimos'] }
366
- // doc2 = { _id: 'id2', planet: 'Earth', system: 'solar', inhabited: true, humans: { genders: 2, eyes: true } }
367
- // doc3 = { _id: 'id3', planet: 'Jupiter', system: 'solar', inhabited: false }
368
- // doc4 = { _id: 'id4', planet: 'Omicron Persei 8', system: 'futurama', inhabited: true, humans: { genders: 7 } }
369
-
370
- // No query used means all results are returned (before the Cursor modifiers)
371
- db.find({}).sort({ planet: 1 }).skip(1).limit(2).exec(function (err, docs) {
372
- // docs is [doc3, doc1]
373
- });
374
-
375
- // You can sort in reverse order like this
376
- db.find({ system: 'solar' }).sort({ planet: -1 }).exec(function (err, docs) {
377
- // docs is [doc1, doc3, doc2]
378
- });
379
-
380
- // You can sort on one field, then another, and so on like this:
381
- db.find({}).sort({ firstField: 1, secondField: -1 }) ... // You understand how this works!
382
- ```
383
-
384
- #### Projections
385
- You can give `find` and `findOne` an optional second argument, `projections`. The syntax is the same as MongoDB: `{ a: 1, b: 1 }` to return only the `a` and `b` fields, `{ a: 0, b: 0 }` to omit these two fields. You cannot use both modes at the time, except for `_id` which is by default always returned and which you can choose to omit. You can project on nested documents.
386
-
387
- ```javascript
388
- // Same database as above
389
-
390
- // Keeping only the given fields
391
- db.find({ planet: 'Mars' }, { planet: 1, system: 1 }, function (err, docs) {
392
- // docs is [{ planet: 'Mars', system: 'solar', _id: 'id1' }]
393
- });
394
-
395
- // Keeping only the given fields but removing _id
396
- db.find({ planet: 'Mars' }, { planet: 1, system: 1, _id: 0 }, function (err, docs) {
397
- // docs is [{ planet: 'Mars', system: 'solar' }]
398
- });
399
-
400
- // Omitting only the given fields and removing _id
401
- db.find({ planet: 'Mars' }, { planet: 0, system: 0, _id: 0 }, function (err, docs) {
402
- // docs is [{ inhabited: false, satellites: ['Phobos', 'Deimos'] }]
403
- });
404
-
405
- // Failure: using both modes at the same time
406
- db.find({ planet: 'Mars' }, { planet: 0, system: 1 }, function (err, docs) {
407
- // err is the error message, docs is undefined
408
- });
409
-
410
- // You can also use it in a Cursor way but this syntax is not compatible with MongoDB
411
- db.find({ planet: 'Mars' }).projection({ planet: 1, system: 1 }).exec(function (err, docs) {
412
- // docs is [{ planet: 'Mars', system: 'solar', _id: 'id1' }]
413
- });
414
-
415
- // Project on a nested document
416
- db.findOne({ planet: 'Earth' }).projection({ planet: 1, 'humans.genders': 1 }).exec(function (err, doc) {
417
- // doc is { planet: 'Earth', _id: 'id2', humans: { genders: 2 } }
418
- });
419
- ```
420
-
421
-
422
-
423
- ### Counting documents
424
- You can use `count` to count documents. It has the same syntax as `find`. For example:
425
-
426
- ```javascript
427
- // Count all planets in the solar system
428
- db.count({ system: 'solar' }, function (err, count) {
429
- // count equals to 3
430
- });
431
-
432
- // Count all documents in the datastore
433
- db.count({}, function (err, count) {
434
- // count equals to 4
435
- });
436
- ```
437
-
438
-
439
- ### Updating documents
440
- `db.update(query, update, options, callback)` will update all documents matching `query` according to the `update` rules:
441
- * `query` is the same kind of finding query you use with `find` and `findOne`
442
- * `update` specifies how the documents should be modified. It is either a new document or a set of modifiers (you cannot use both together, it doesn't make sense!)
443
- * A new document will replace the matched docs
444
- * The modifiers create the fields they need to modify if they don't exist, and you can apply them to subdocs. Available field modifiers are `$set` to change a field's value, `$unset` to delete a field, `$inc` to increment a field's value and `$min`/`$max` to change field's value, only if provided value is less/greater than current value. To work on arrays, you have `$push`, `$pop`, `$addToSet`, `$pull`, and the special `$each` and `$slice`. See examples below for the syntax.
445
- * `options` is an object with two possible parameters
446
- * `multi` (defaults to `false`) which allows the modification of several documents if set to true
447
- * `upsert` (defaults to `false`) if you want to insert a new document corresponding to the `update` rules if your `query` doesn't match anything. If your `update` is a simple object with no modifiers, it is the inserted document. In the other case, the `query` is stripped from all operator recursively, and the `update` is applied to it.
448
- * `returnUpdatedDocs` (defaults to `false`, not MongoDB-compatible) if set to true and update is not an upsert, will return the array of documents matched by the find query and updated. Updated documents will be returned even if the update did not actually modify them.
449
- * `callback` (optional) signature: `(err, numAffected, affectedDocuments, upsert)`. **Warning**: the API was changed between v1.7.4 and v1.8. Please refer to the <a href="https://github.com/louischatriot/nedb/wiki/Change-log" target="_blank">change log</a> to see the change.
450
- * For an upsert, `affectedDocuments` contains the inserted document and the `upsert` flag is set to `true`.
451
- * For a standard update with `returnUpdatedDocs` flag set to `false`, `affectedDocuments` is not set.
452
- * For a standard update with `returnUpdatedDocs` flag set to `true` and `multi` to `false`, `affectedDocuments` is the updated document.
453
- * For a standard update with `returnUpdatedDocs` flag set to `true` and `multi` to `true`, `affectedDocuments` is the array of updated documents.
454
-
455
- **Note**: you can't change a document's _id.
456
-
457
- ```javascript
458
- // Let's use the same example collection as in the "finding document" part
459
- // { _id: 'id1', planet: 'Mars', system: 'solar', inhabited: false }
460
- // { _id: 'id2', planet: 'Earth', system: 'solar', inhabited: true }
461
- // { _id: 'id3', planet: 'Jupiter', system: 'solar', inhabited: false }
462
- // { _id: 'id4', planet: 'Omicron Persia 8', system: 'futurama', inhabited: true }
463
-
464
- // Replace a document by another
465
- db.update({ planet: 'Jupiter' }, { planet: 'Pluton'}, {}, function (err, numReplaced) {
466
- // numReplaced = 1
467
- // The doc #3 has been replaced by { _id: 'id3', planet: 'Pluton' }
468
- // Note that the _id is kept unchanged, and the document has been replaced
469
- // (the 'system' and inhabited fields are not here anymore)
470
- });
471
-
472
- // Set an existing field's value
473
- db.update({ system: 'solar' }, { $set: { system: 'solar system' } }, { multi: true }, function (err, numReplaced) {
474
- // numReplaced = 3
475
- // Field 'system' on Mars, Earth, Jupiter now has value 'solar system'
476
- });
477
-
478
- // Setting the value of a non-existing field in a subdocument by using the dot-notation
479
- db.update({ planet: 'Mars' }, { $set: { "data.satellites": 2, "data.red": true } }, {}, function () {
480
- // Mars document now is { _id: 'id1', system: 'solar', inhabited: false
481
- // , data: { satellites: 2, red: true }
482
- // }
483
- // Not that to set fields in subdocuments, you HAVE to use dot-notation
484
- // Using object-notation will just replace the top-level field
485
- db.update({ planet: 'Mars' }, { $set: { data: { satellites: 3 } } }, {}, function () {
486
- // Mars document now is { _id: 'id1', system: 'solar', inhabited: false
487
- // , data: { satellites: 3 }
488
- // }
489
- // You lost the "data.red" field which is probably not the intended behavior
490
- });
491
- });
492
-
493
- // Deleting a field
494
- db.update({ planet: 'Mars' }, { $unset: { planet: true } }, {}, function () {
495
- // Now the document for Mars doesn't contain the planet field
496
- // You can unset nested fields with the dot notation of course
497
- });
498
-
499
- // Upserting a document
500
- db.update({ planet: 'Pluton' }, { planet: 'Pluton', inhabited: false }, { upsert: true }, function (err, numReplaced, upsert) {
501
- // numReplaced = 1, upsert = { _id: 'id5', planet: 'Pluton', inhabited: false }
502
- // A new document { _id: 'id5', planet: 'Pluton', inhabited: false } has been added to the collection
503
- });
504
-
505
- // If you upsert with a modifier, the upserted doc is the query modified by the modifier
506
- // This is simpler than it sounds :)
507
- db.update({ planet: 'Pluton' }, { $inc: { distance: 38 } }, { upsert: true }, function () {
508
- // A new document { _id: 'id5', planet: 'Pluton', distance: 38 } has been added to the collection
509
- });
510
-
511
- // If we insert a new document { _id: 'id6', fruits: ['apple', 'orange', 'pear'] } in the collection,
512
- // let's see how we can modify the array field atomically
513
-
514
- // $push inserts new elements at the end of the array
515
- db.update({ _id: 'id6' }, { $push: { fruits: 'banana' } }, {}, function () {
516
- // Now the fruits array is ['apple', 'orange', 'pear', 'banana']
517
- });
518
-
519
- // $pop removes an element from the end (if used with 1) or the front (if used with -1) of the array
520
- db.update({ _id: 'id6' }, { $pop: { fruits: 1 } }, {}, function () {
521
- // Now the fruits array is ['apple', 'orange']
522
- // With { $pop: { fruits: -1 } }, it would have been ['orange', 'pear']
523
- });
524
-
525
- // $addToSet adds an element to an array only if it isn't already in it
526
- // Equality is deep-checked (i.e. $addToSet will not insert an object in an array already containing the same object)
527
- // Note that it doesn't check whether the array contained duplicates before or not
528
- db.update({ _id: 'id6' }, { $addToSet: { fruits: 'apple' } }, {}, function () {
529
- // The fruits array didn't change
530
- // If we had used a fruit not in the array, e.g. 'banana', it would have been added to the array
531
- });
532
-
533
- // $pull removes all values matching a value or even any NeDB query from the array
534
- db.update({ _id: 'id6' }, { $pull: { fruits: 'apple' } }, {}, function () {
535
- // Now the fruits array is ['orange', 'pear']
536
- });
537
- db.update({ _id: 'id6' }, { $pull: { fruits: $in: ['apple', 'pear'] } }, {}, function () {
538
- // Now the fruits array is ['orange']
539
- });
540
-
541
- // $each can be used to $push or $addToSet multiple values at once
542
- // This example works the same way with $addToSet
543
- db.update({ _id: 'id6' }, { $push: { fruits: { $each: ['banana', 'orange'] } } }, {}, function () {
544
- // Now the fruits array is ['apple', 'orange', 'pear', 'banana', 'orange']
545
- });
546
-
547
- // $slice can be used in cunjunction with $push and $each to limit the size of the resulting array.
548
- // A value of 0 will update the array to an empty array. A positive value n will keep only the n first elements
549
- // A negative value -n will keep only the last n elements.
550
- // If $slice is specified but not $each, $each is set to []
551
- db.update({ _id: 'id6' }, { $push: { fruits: { $each: ['banana'], $slice: 2 } } }, {}, function () {
552
- // Now the fruits array is ['apple', 'orange']
553
- });
554
-
555
- // $min/$max to update only if provided value is less/greater than current value
556
- // Let's say the database contains this document
557
- // doc = { _id: 'id', name: 'Name', value: 5 }
558
- db.update({ _id: 'id1' }, { $min: { value: 2 } }, {}, function () {
559
- // The document will be updated to { _id: 'id', name: 'Name', value: 2 }
560
- });
561
-
562
- db.update({ _id: 'id1' }, { $min: { value: 8 } }, {}, function () {
563
- // The document will not be modified
564
- });
565
- ```
566
-
567
- ### Removing documents
568
- `db.remove(query, options, callback)` will remove all documents matching `query` according to `options`
569
- * `query` is the same as the ones used for finding and updating
570
- * `options` only one option for now: `multi` which allows the removal of multiple documents if set to true. Default is false
571
- * `callback` is optional, signature: err, numRemoved
572
-
573
- ```javascript
574
- // Let's use the same example collection as in the "finding document" part
575
- // { _id: 'id1', planet: 'Mars', system: 'solar', inhabited: false }
576
- // { _id: 'id2', planet: 'Earth', system: 'solar', inhabited: true }
577
- // { _id: 'id3', planet: 'Jupiter', system: 'solar', inhabited: false }
578
- // { _id: 'id4', planet: 'Omicron Persia 8', system: 'futurama', inhabited: true }
579
-
580
- // Remove one document from the collection
581
- // options set to {} since the default for multi is false
582
- db.remove({ _id: 'id2' }, {}, function (err, numRemoved) {
583
- // numRemoved = 1
584
- });
585
-
586
- // Remove multiple documents
587
- db.remove({ system: 'solar' }, { multi: true }, function (err, numRemoved) {
588
- // numRemoved = 3
589
- // All planets from the solar system were removed
590
- });
591
-
592
- // Removing all documents with the 'match-all' query
593
- db.remove({}, { multi: true }, function (err, numRemoved) {
594
- });
595
- ```
596
-
597
- ### Indexing
598
- NeDB supports indexing. It gives a very nice speed boost and can be used to enforce a unique constraint on a field. You can index any field, including fields in nested documents using the dot notation. For now, indexes are only used to speed up basic queries and queries using `$in`, `$lt`, `$lte`, `$gt` and `$gte`. The indexed values cannot be of type array of object.
599
-
600
- To create an index, use `datastore.ensureIndex(options, cb)`, where callback is optional and get passed an error if any (usually a unique constraint that was violated). `ensureIndex` can be called when you want, even after some data was inserted, though it's best to call it at application startup. The options are:
601
-
602
- * **fieldName** (required): name of the field to index. Use the dot notation to index a field in a nested document.
603
- * **unique** (optional, defaults to `false`): enforce field uniqueness. Note that a unique index will raise an error if you try to index two documents for which the field is not defined.
604
- * **sparse** (optional, defaults to `false`): don't index documents for which the field is not defined. Use this option along with "unique" if you want to accept multiple documents for which it is not defined.
605
- * **expireAfterSeconds** (number of seconds, optional): if set, the created index is a TTL (time to live) index, that will automatically remove documents when the system date becomes larger than the date on the indexed field plus `expireAfterSeconds`. Documents where the indexed field is not specified or not a `Date` object are ignored
606
-
607
- Note: the `_id` is automatically indexed with a unique constraint, no need to call `ensureIndex` on it.
608
-
609
- You can remove a previously created index with `datastore.removeIndex(fieldName, cb)`.
610
-
611
- If your datastore is persistent, the indexes you created are persisted in the datafile, when you load the database a second time they are automatically created for you. No need to remove any `ensureIndex` though, if it is called on a database that already has the index, nothing happens.
612
-
613
- ```javascript
614
- db.ensureIndex({ fieldName: 'somefield' }, function (err) {
615
- // If there was an error, err is not null
616
- });
617
-
618
- // Using a unique constraint with the index
619
- db.ensureIndex({ fieldName: 'somefield', unique: true }, function (err) {
620
- });
621
-
622
- // Using a sparse unique index
623
- db.ensureIndex({ fieldName: 'somefield', unique: true, sparse: true }, function (err) {
624
- });
625
-
626
-
627
- // Format of the error message when the unique constraint is not met
628
- db.insert({ somefield: 'nedb' }, function (err) {
629
- // err is null
630
- db.insert({ somefield: 'nedb' }, function (err) {
631
- // err is { errorType: 'uniqueViolated'
632
- // , key: 'name'
633
- // , message: 'Unique constraint violated for key name' }
634
- });
635
- });
636
-
637
- // Remove index on field somefield
638
- db.removeIndex('somefield', function (err) {
639
- });
640
-
641
- // Example of using expireAfterSeconds to remove documents 1 hour
642
- // after their creation (db's timestampData option is true here)
643
- db.ensureIndex({ fieldName: 'createdAt', expireAfterSeconds: 3600 }, function (err) {
644
- });
645
-
646
- // You can also use the option to set an expiration date like so
647
- db.ensureIndex({ fieldName: 'expirationDate', expireAfterSeconds: 0 }, function (err) {
648
- // Now all documents will expire when system time reaches the date in their
649
- // expirationDate field
650
- });
13
+ Module name on npm is `@electerm/nedb`.
651
14
 
15
+ ```bash
16
+ npm install @electerm/nedb --save # Put latest version in your package.json
17
+ npm test # You'll need the dev dependencies to launch tests
652
18
  ```
653
19
 
654
- **Note:** the `ensureIndex` function creates the index synchronously, so it's best to use it at application startup. It's quite fast so it doesn't increase startup time much (35 ms for a collection containing 10,000 documents).
655
-
656
-
657
- ## Browser version
658
- The browser version and its minified counterpart are in the `browser-version/out` directory. You only need to require `nedb.js` or `nedb.min.js` in your HTML file and the global object `Nedb` can be used right away, with the same API as the server version:
659
-
660
- ```
661
- <script src="nedb.min.js"></script>
662
- <script>
663
- var db = new Nedb(); // Create an in-memory only datastore
664
-
665
- db.insert({ planet: 'Earth' }, function (err) {
666
- db.find({}, function (err, docs) {
667
- // docs contains the two planets Earth and Mars
668
- });
669
- });
670
- </script>
671
- ```
672
-
673
- If you specify a `filename`, the database will be persistent, and automatically select the best storage method available (IndexedDB, WebSQL or localStorage) depending on the browser. In most cases that means a lot of data can be stored, typically in hundreds of MB. **WARNING**: the storage system changed between v1.3 and v1.4 and is NOT back-compatible! Your application needs to resync client-side when you upgrade NeDB.
674
-
675
- NeDB is compatible with all major browsers: Chrome, Safari, Firefox, IE9+. Tests are in the `browser-version/test` directory (files `index.html` and `testPersistence.html`).
676
-
677
- If you fork and modify nedb, you can build the browser version from the sources, the build script is `browser-version/build.js`.
678
-
679
-
680
- ## Performance
681
- ### Speed
682
- NeDB is not intended to be a replacement of large-scale databases such as MongoDB, and as such was not designed for speed. That said, it is still pretty fast on the expected datasets, especially if you use indexing. On a typical, not-so-fast dev machine, for a collection containing 10,000 documents, with indexing:
683
- * Insert: **10,680 ops/s**
684
- * Find: **43,290 ops/s**
685
- * Update: **8,000 ops/s**
686
- * Remove: **11,750 ops/s**
687
-
688
- You can run these simple benchmarks by executing the scripts in the `benchmarks` folder. Run them with the `--help` flag to see how they work.
689
-
690
- ### Memory footprint
691
- A copy of the whole database is kept in memory. This is not much on the
692
- expected kind of datasets (20MB for 10,000 2KB documents).

- ## Pull requests
703
- **Important: I consider NeDB to be feature-complete, i.e. it does everything I think it should and nothing more. As a general rule I will not accept pull requests anymore, except for bugfixes (of course) or if I get convinced I overlook a strong usecase. Please make sure to open an issue before spending time on any PR.**

705
- If you submit a pull request, thanks! There are a couple rules to follow though to make it manageable:
706
- * The pull request should be atomic, i.e. contain only one feature. If it contains more, please submit multiple pull requests. Reviewing massive, 1000 loc+ pull requests is extremely hard.
707
- * Likewise, if for one unique feature the pull request grows too large (more than 200 loc tests not included), please get in touch first.
708
- * Please stick to the current coding style. It's important that the code uses a coherent style for readability.
709
- * Do not include sylistic improvements ("housekeeping"). If you think one part deserves lots of housekeeping, use a separate pull request so as not to pollute the code.
710
- * Don't forget tests for your new feature. Also don't forget to run the whole test suite before submitting to make sure you didn't introduce regressions.
711
- * Do not build the browser version in your branch, I'll take care of it once the code is merged.
712
- * Update the readme accordingly.
713
- * Last but not least: keep in mind what NeDB's mindset is! The goal is not to be a replacement for MongoDB, but to have a pure JS database, easy to use, cross platform, fast and expressive enough for the target projects (small and self contained apps on server/desktop/browser/mobile). Sometimes it's better to shoot for simplicity than for API completeness with regards to MongoDB.

- ## Bug reporting guidelines
716
- If you report a bug, thank you! That said for the process to be manageable please strictly adhere to the following guidelines. I'll not be able to handle bug reports that don't:
717
- * Your bug report should be a self-containing gist complete with a package.json for any dependencies you need. I need to run through a simple `git clone gist; npm install; node bugreport.js`, nothing more.
718
- * It should use assertions to showcase the expected vs actual behavior and be hysteresis-proof. It's quite simple in fact, see this example: https://gist.github.com/louischatriot/220cf6bd29c7de06a486
719
- * Simplify as much as you can. Strip all your application-specific code. Most of the time you will see that there is no bug but an error in your code :)
720
- * 50 lines max. If you need more, read the above point and rework your bug report. If you're **really** convinced you need more, please explain precisely in the issue.
721
- * The code should be Javascript, not Coffeescript.
