rethinkdbdash

An attempt for another JavaScript driver for RethinkDB Note: Still in development.

Use

Example wih koa:

var app = require('koa')();
var r = require('rethinkdbdash');

app.use(function *(){
    var connection = yield r.connect();
    var result = yield r.table("foo").get("bar").run(connection);

    this.body = JSON.stringify(result);
});

app.listen(3000);

Example with bluebird:

var Promise = require('blubird');
var r = require('rethinkdbdash');

var run = Promise.coroutine(function* () {
    var connection, result

    try{
        connection = yield r.connect();
    }
    catch(e) {
        console.log(e);
    }

    try{
        result = yield r.table("foo").get("bar").run(connection);
        console.log(JSON.stringify(result, null, 2));
    }
    catch(e) {
        console.log(e);
    }

    connection.close();
})

Note: You have to start node with the --harmony flag.

Install

• Build node 0.11.10 (checkout v0.11.10-release) from source (binary won't work with node-protobuf (some libraries are not properly linked).
• Install rethinkdbdash with npm.

npm install rethinkdbdash

Run tests

Update test/config.js if your RethinkDB instance doesn't run on the default parameters.

Run

mocha --harmony-generators

What's different?

• Promises with bluebird
• ReqlDriverError instances partially contain the query that leat to the error
• The query object is built little by little
• Long backtraces are split on multiple lines
• Not supported for browser
• Tested with Node 11.10 - Should work with Node >= 10.4

• Pool
