# LanceDB
A JavaScript / Node.js library for [LanceDB](https://github.com/lancedb/lancedb).
## Installation
```bash
npm install vectordb
```
This will download the appropriate native library for your platform. We currently
support:
* Linux (x86_64 and aarch64)
* MacOS (Intel and ARM/M1/M2)
* Windows (x86_64 only)
We do not yet support musl-based Linux (such as Alpine Linux) or aarch64 Windows.
## Usage
### Basic Example
```javascript
const lancedb = require('vectordb');
const db = await lancedb.connect('data/sample-lancedb');
const table = await db.createTable("my_table",
[{ id: 1, vector: [0.1, 1.0], item: "foo", price: 10.0 },
{ id: 2, vector: [3.9, 0.5], item: "bar", price: 20.0 }])
const results = await table.search([0.1, 0.3]).limit(20).execute();
console.log(results);
```
The [examples](./examples) folder contains complete examples.
## Development
To build everything fresh:
```bash
npm install
npm run build
```
Then you should be able to run the tests with:
```bash
npm test
```
### Fix lints

```bash
npm run lint -- --fix
```
To build documentation
```bash
npx typedoc --plugin typedoc-plugin-markdown --out ../docs/src/javascript src/index.ts
