const { Level } = require('level')
const WriteStream = require('level-ws')

const db = new Level('./db', { valueEncoding: 'json' })
const ws = new WriteStream(db)

ws.on('close', function () {

})

ws.write({ key: 'alice', value: 42 })
ws.write({ key: 'bob', value: 7 })

// To delete entries, specify an explicit type
ws.write({ type: 'del', key: 'tomas' })
ws.write({ type: 'put', key: 'sara', value: 16 })

ws.end()
