roaring-wasm

WebAssembly port of Roaring Bitmaps for NodeJS. It is interoperable with other implementations via the Roaring format.

Roaring bitmaps are compressed bitmaps. They can be hundreds of times faster.

NOTE

Implementation of all features is not complete. For a complete native implementation, much faster and easier to use than this package, you can use:

roaring - NodeJS Roaring bitmaps as a native addon. https://github.com/SalvatorePreviti/roaring-node
roaring-aws - NodeJS roaring bitmaps precompiled for AWS Lambda (Serverless compatible). https://github.com/SalvatorePreviti/roaring-node-aws

motivation

This project was born to use Roaring WASM in AWS Lambdas without the need to compile a node-gyp module. AWS Lambda supports node 8.10 and supports WASM.

installation

npm install --save roaring-wasm

Try it live - https://npm.runkit.com/roaring-wasm

Code sample:

// npm install --save roaring-wasm
// create this file as demo.js
// type node demo.js or nodejs demo.js depending on your system

var roaring = require('roaring-wasm')

var bitmap1 = new roaring.RoaringBitmap32()
bitmap1.addMany([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 100, 1000])
console.log('bitmap1.toSet():', bitmap1.toSet())

var bitmap2 = new roaring.RoaringBitmap32()
bitmap2.addMany([3, 4, 1000])
console.log('bitmap2.toSet():', bitmap1.toSet())

var bitmap3 = new roaring.RoaringBitmap32()
console.log('bitmap1.cardinality():', bitmap1.cardinality())
console.log('bitmap2.contains(3):', bitmap2.contains(3))

bitmap3.add(111)
bitmap3.add(544)
bitmap3.orInPlace(bitmap1)
bitmap1.optimize()
console.log(bitmap3.toString())

console.log('bitmap3.toArray():', bitmap3.toArray())
console.log('bitmap3.maximum():', bitmap3.maximum())
console.log('bitmap3.rank(100):', bitmap3.rank(100))

bitmap1.dispose()
bitmap2.dispose()
bitmap3.dispose()

Development, local building

This project requires emsdk installed and activated. See https://kripken.github.io/emscripten-site/docs/getting_started/downloads.html.

On a *nix machine, run sh source .envrc to initialize paths, nvm (if present) and emsdk.

To compile, run test and generate the documentation

git submodule update --init --recursive

npm start

Output will be generated in the dist folder

The build system was tried on MacOSX, is not tested/maintained for other system.
