# 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 x86_64 Linux, aarch64 Linux, Intel MacOS, and ARM (M1/M2) MacOS. We do not
yet support musl-based Linux (such as Alpine Linux).
## 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.
