Exposes `storage_options` in LanceDB. This is provided for Python async, Node `lancedb`, and Node `vectordb` (and Rust of course). Python synchronous is omitted because it's not compatible with the PyArrow filesystems we use there currently. In the future, we will move the sync API to wrap the async one, and then it will get support for `storage_options`. 1. Fixes #1168 2. Closes #1165 3. Closes #1082 4. Closes #439 5. Closes #897 6. Closes #642 7. Closes #281 8. Closes #114 9. Closes #990 10. Deprecating `awsCredentials` and `awsRegion`. Users are encouraged to use `storageOptions` instead.
LanceDB JavaScript SDK
A JavaScript library for LanceDB.
Installation
npm install @lancedb/lancedb
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
import * as lancedb from "@lancedb/lancedb";
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.vectorSearch([0.1, 0.3]).limit(20).toArray();
console.log(results);
The quickstart contains a more complete example.
Development

npm run test
Running lint / format
LanceDb uses eslint for linting. VSCode does not need any plugins to use eslint. However, it may need some additional configuration. Make sure that eslint.experimental.useFlatConfig is set to true. Also, if your vscode root folder is the repo root then you will need to set the eslint.workingDirectories to ["nodejs"]. To manually lint your code you can run:
npm run lint
LanceDb uses prettier for formatting. If you are using VSCode you will need to install the "Prettier - Code formatter" extension. You should then configure it to be the default formatter for typescript and you should enable format on save. To manually check your code's format you can run:
npm run chkformat
If you need to manually format your code you can run:
npx prettier --write .
Generating docs
npm run docs
cd ../docs
# Asssume the virtual environment was created
# python3 -m venv venv
# pip install -r requirements.txt
. ./venv/bin/activate
mkdocs build
