Bert 85ccf9e22b feat!: correct timeout argument lancedb nodejs sdk (#1468)
Correct the timeout argument to `connect` in @lancedb/lancedb node SDK.
`RemoteConnectionOptions` specified two fields `connectionTimeout` and
`readTimeout`, probably to be consistent with the python SDK, but only
`connectionTimeout` was being used and it was passed to axios in such a
way that this covered the enture remote request (connect + read). This
change adds a single parameter `timeout` which makes the args to
`connect` consistent with the legacy vectordb sdk.

BREAKING CHANGE: This is a breaking change b/c users who would have
previously been passing `connectionTimeout` will now be expected to pass
`timeout`.

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 build
npm run test

Running lint / format

LanceDb uses biome for linting and formatting. if you are using VSCode you will need to install the official Biome extension. To manually lint your code you can run:

npm run lint

to automatically fix all fixable issues:

npm run lint-fix

If you do not have your workspace root set to the nodejs directory, unfortunately the extension will not work. You can still run the linting and formatting commands manually.

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
