level-test
Inject temporary and isolated level stores (
leveldown,level-js,memdownor custom) into your tests.
If you are upgrading: please see UPGRADING.md.
Usage
Create a fresh db, without refering to any file system or DOM specifics, so that the same test can be used in the server or the browser! Use whatever test framework you like.
const level = require('level-test')()
const db = level({ valueEncoding: 'json' })
In node it defaults to leveldown for storage, using a unique temporary directory. In the browser it defaults to level-js.
No database name is needed since level-test generates unique random names. For disk-based systems it uses tempy and in the browser it uses uuid/v4.
const level = require('level-test')()
const db = level()
In either environment use of memdown can be forced with options.mem:
const level = require('level-test')({ mem: true })
const db = level({ valueEncoding: 'json' })
Or use any abstract-leveldown compliant store! In this case level-test assumes the storage is on disk and will thus create a unique temporary directory, unless you pass mem: true.
const rocksdb = require('rocksdb')
const level = require('level-test')(rocksdb)
const db = level({ valueEncoding: 'json' })
API
ctor = levelTest([store][, options])
Returns a function ctor that creates preconfigured levelup instances with temporary storage. The store if provided must be a function and abstract-leveldown compliant. Options:
mem: usememdownasstore(or assume thatstoreismemdown), default false.- Any other option will be merged into
ctoroptions, the latter taking precedence.
These are equal:
const db1 = require('level-test')({ valueEncoding: 'json' })()
const db2 = require('level-test')()({ valueEncoding: 'json' })
db = ctor([options][, callback])
Returns a levelup instance via level-packager which wraps the underlying store with encoding-down. In short: the db is functionally equivalent to level. You get deferred open, encodings, Promise support, readable streams and more!
Options are passed to levelup (which in turn passes them on to the store when opened) as well as encoding-down.
Please refer to the levelup documentation for usage of the optional callback.
