Introduction

Yet Another Tokyo Cabinet binding for Node.JS

It’s more easy to use fork of original bindings which was written by Atsushi Takayama at 2010.

API Overview

Coming soon ^_^

Usage Example

var tc = require('tokyocabinet');

Async interface

var hdb = tc.hdb();
// make database multi-thread safe
hdb.setmutex();
// open database with mode: writer + creat
hdb.open('casket.tch', 'wc', function(err){
  if (err) throw err;
  // store a value
  hdb.put('foo', 'bar', function(err){
    if (err) throw err;
    // retrieve a value
    hdb.get('foo', function(err, val){
      if (err) throw err;
      console.log(val);
      hdb.close(function(err){
        if (err) throw err;
      });
    });
  });
});

Sync interface

It’s more fastest but doesn’t recommended because Node.JS uses an event-driven execution model.

var hdb = tc.hdb();
// open database with mode: writer + creat
try {
  hdb.openSync('casket.tch', 'wc');
} catch(e) {
  throw e;
}
// store a value
try {
  hdb.put('foo', 'bar');
} catch(e) {
  throw e;
}
// retrieve a value
try {
  var v = hdb.get('foo'); // => 'bar'
  console.log(v);
} catch(e) {
  throw e;
}
