level-list

Map lists of data stored in a LevelDB to DOM elements.

Example

var List = require('level-list');
var MemDB = require('memdb');

// a levelup style database
var db = MemDB();

// create a list with your db and a function that generates dom elements
var list = List(db, function (row) {
  var el = document.createElement('p');
  el.appendChild(document.createTextNode(row.date));
  return el;
});

// insert the list into the dom
document.body.appendChild(list.el);

// insert some data into the db
(function insert () {
  db.put(Date.now(), { date: (new Date).toString() });
  setTimeout(insert, 1000);
})();

API

List(db[, tag][, fn])

Create a new list that pulls data from db. The list's elements will be wrapped inside tag, which defaults to div. Either pass a fn that creates dom elements here, or to List#create.

List#create(fn)

fn is called with a row and should return a dom element. row is an EventEmitter with all the json data read from the db on it. For its events, see below.

List#limit(count)

Limit the display to count entries.

List#sort(fn)

Sort the list by the given comparator function, that gets both rows as arguments.

Use comparator to create comparators conveniently. This would sort by row._key in descending order:

var comparator = require('comparator');

list.sort(comparator.desc('_key'));

List#el

The list's dom element.

Row#on('remove', fn)

A remove event is emitted when an already showed row needs to be removed, so you can clean up if necessary.

Row#on('update', fn), Row#on('change *', fn)

If you listen for the update and/or one of the change * events, your dom element won't be replaced. Instead, you can use row's updated data to update it yourself.

This is especially handy when using component/reactive, see the example.

Row#_key

The key that row's data was found under.

Row#_element

The row's element.
