abstract-stream-leveldown

This library provides a smaller API footprint for using AbstractLevelDOWN to create a LevelDOWN backend, by implementing a Readable and Writable stream instead of all of the abstract LevelDOWN methods. It's a good fit for turning something that already has readable and writable stream interfaces into a LevelDOWN backend.

Example

in es6

import {AbstractStreamLevelDOWN} from "abstract-stream-leveldown"
 
class MyLevelDOWN extends AbstractStreamLevelDOWN {
   _createReadStream([options]) { /* return a Readable */ }
   _createWriteStream([options]) { /* return a Writable */ }
}

in es5

var inherits = require('inherits')
var assign = require('object-assign')
var AbstractStreamLevelDOWN = require('abstract-stream-leveldown').AbstractStreamLevelDOWN
 
function MyLevelDOWN (location) {
  AbstractLevelDOWN.call(this, location)
}
inherits(MyLevelDOWN, AbstractStreamLevelDOWN)
assign(AbstractStreamLevelDOWN, {
  _createReadStream([options]) { /* return a Readable */ }
  _createWriteStream([options]) { /* return a Writable */ }
}

API

AbstractStreamLevelDOWN#_createReadStream([options])

Returns a Readable stream. options should support the same properties as those to be passed to createReadStream.

AbstractStreamLevelDOWN#_createWriteStream([options])

Returns a Writable stream. options should support the same properties as those to be passed to put. This stream accepts {key, value} objects, and will perform a del if the value is null or undefined, and a put otherwise.
