Xuanwo d5dc4c0f06 fix: discover nested vector columns by default (#3423)
LanceDB default vector column discovery only considered top-level
fields, so tables with a single nested vector leaf still required users
to pass an explicit field path. This updates Rust and Python discovery
to recurse into struct fields, return canonical field paths, and
preserve actionable errors when no default or multiple defaults exist.

The explicit nested path flow for index creation and search remains
supported across Rust, Python, and Node, with regression coverage for
single nested vector leaves, multiple candidate leaves, and schemas
without vector leaves.

Closes #3405.

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 on glibc and musl)
  • MacOS (Intel and ARM/M1/M2)
  • Windows (x86_64 and aarch64)

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 more complete examples.
