Will Jones	7747c9bcbf	feat(node): parse arrow types in alterColumns() (#2208) ... Previously, users could only specify new data types in `alterColumns` as strings: ```ts await tbl.alterColumns([ path: "price", dataType: "float" ]); ``` But this has some problems: 1. It wasn't clear what were valid types 2. It was impossible to specify nested types, like lists and vector columns. This PR changes it to take an Arrow data type, similar to how the Python API works. This allows casting vector types: ```ts await tbl.alterColumns([ { path: "vector", dataType: new arrow.FixedSizeList( 2, new arrow.Field("item", new arrow.Float16(), false), ), }, ]); ``` Closes #2185	2025-03-12 09:57:36 -07:00
Will Jones	db125013fc	docs: better formatting for Node API docs (#1892) ... * Sets `"useCodeBlocks": true` * Adds a post-processing script `nodejs/typedoc_post_process.js` that puts the parameter description on the same line as the parameter name, like it is in our Python docs. This makes the text hierarchy clearer in those sections and also makes the sections shorter.	2024-12-09 17:04:09 -08:00

Weston Pace	e21b56293c	docs: add a reference to @lancedb/lance in the docs (#1166) ... We aren't yet ready to switch over the examples since almost all JS examples rely on embeddings and we haven't yet ported those over. However, this makes it possible for those that are interested to start using `@lancedb/lancedb`	2024-04-05 16:34:39 -07:00
