# level-secondary

Secondary indexes for leveldb.

[![build status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/juliangruber/level-secondary.png)](http://travis-ci.org/juliangruber/level-secondary)

## Example

Create 2 indexes on top of a posts database.

```js
var level = require('level');
var Secondary = require('level-secondary');
var sub = require('level-sublevel');

var db = sub(level(__dirname + '/db', {
valueEncoding: 'json'
}));

var posts = db.sublevel('posts');

// add a title index
posts.byTitle = Secondary(posts, 'title');

// add a length index
// append the post.id for unique indexes with possibly overlapping values
posts.byLength = Secondary(posts, 'length', function(post){
return post.body.length + '!' + post.id;
});

posts.put('1337', {
id: '1337',
title: 'a title',
body: 'lorem ipsum'
}, function(err) {
if (err) throw err;

posts.byTitle.get('a title', function(err, post) {
if (err) throw err;
console.log('get', post);
// => get: { id: '1337', title: 'a title', body: 'lorem ipsum' }

posts.del('1337', function(err) {
if (err) throw err;
posts.byTitle.get('a title', function(err) {
console.log(err.name);
// => NotFoundError
});
});
});

posts.byLength.createReadStream({
start: 10,
end: 20
}).on('data', console.log.bind(console, 'read'));
// => read { key: '1337', value: { id: '1337', title: 'a title', body: 'lorem ipsum' } }

posts.byLength.createKeyStream({
start: 10,
end: 20
}).on('data', console.log.bind(console, 'key'));
// => key 1337

posts.byLength.createValueStream({
start: 10,
end: 20
}).on('data', console.log.bind(console, 'value'));
// => value { id: '1337', title: 'a title', body: 'lorem ipsum' }
});
```

## API

### Secondary(db, name[, reduce])

Return a secondary index that either indexes property `name` or uses a custom
`reduce` function to map values to indexes.

### Secondary#get(key, opts[, cb])

Get the value that has been indexed with `key`.

### Secondary#create{Key,Value,Read}Stream(opts)

Create a readable stream that has indexes as keys and indexed data as values.

### Secondary#manifest

A [level manifest](https://github.com/dominictarr/level-manifest) that you can pass to [multilevel](https://github.com/juliangruber/multilevel).

## Breaking changes

### 1.0.0

What used to be

```js
db = Secondary('name', db);
```

is now

```js
db.byName = Secondary(db, 'name');
```

Also hooks are used, so it works perfectly with batches across multiple
sublevels.

## Installation

With [npm](https://npmjs.org) do:

```bash
npm install level-secondary
```
