# LevelDB crystal levedb

Crystal binding for [LevelDB](https://github.com/google/leveldb).

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/crystal-community/leveldb.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/crystal-community/leveldb)

> LevelDB is a fast key-value storage library written at Google that provides an ordered mapping from string keys to string values.

## Installation

### Prerequisites

Debian:
```
sudo apt-get install libleveldb-dev libleveldb1v5 libsnappy1v5
```

### shard.yml

```yaml
dependencies:
leveldb:
github: "crystal-community/leveldb"
version: "~> 0.2.0"
```

## Usage

### Basic usage

```crystal
require "leveldb"

# Create DB (if does not exist yet) and open
db = LevelDB::DB.new("./db")

# Put, get, delete
db.put("name", "Sergey")
db.get("name") # => "Sergey"
db.delete("name")
db.get("name") # => nil

# [], []= methods work the same
db["city"] = "Berlin"
db["city"] # => "Berlin"

# Iterate through all the keys
db.each do |key, val|
puts "#{key} = #{val}"
end

# Close database
db.close
db.closed? # => true
db.opened? # => false

# Close the database and remove all the data
db.destroy

# Remove all the keys, keep the database open
db.clear
```

### Batches
> Apply a atomic batch of of operation to the key-value store.

```crystal
require "leveldb"

db = LevelDB::DB.new("./db")
begin
batch = LevelDB::Batch.new

batch.put("name","Martin")
batch.put("age","25")
batch.put("location","Bariloche")
batch.delete("age")

# write batch to the db in atomic way
db.write(batch)

puts db.get("name")
puts db.get("age") # nil
puts db.get("location")
ensure
# free memory
batch.destroy
# close the database
db.close
end

```

### Snapshots

> Snapshots provide consistent read-only views over the entire state of the key-value store.

```crystal
db = LevelDB::DB.new("./db")

db.put("a", "1")
db.get("a") # => "1"

snapshot = db.create_snapshot
db.delete("a")
db.get("a") # => nil

db.set_snapshot(snapshot)
db.get("a") # => "1"

db.unset_snapshot
db.get("a") # => nil
```

## Performance

There is performance comparison of LevelDB and other stores from
