RDB is a NodeJS-based shell interface to RocksDB. It can also be used as a JavaScript binding for RocksDB within a Node application.
NOTE: If your default python
binary is not a version of python2, add the arguments --python /path/to/python2
to the node-gyp
commands.
Make sure you have the static library (i.e. “librocksdb.a”) in the root directory of your rocksdb installation. If not, cd
there and run make static_lib
.
Run node-gyp configure
to generate the build.
Run node-gyp build
to compile RDB.
Assuming everything compiled correctly, you can run the rdb
executable located in the root of the tools/rdb
directory to start the shell. The file is just a shell script that runs the node shell and loads the constructor for the RDB object into the top-level function RDB
.
See API.md
for how to use RocksDB from the shell.
