Wyatt Alt c463ca1503 docs: state what a computed column promises
The declaration API shipped without a runnable example, and none of the three
binding docs said when values appear, what happens to them when an input
changes, which schema operations a declaration blocks, or that the feature is
local-only. Those are the questions a caller has to answer before using it.

Adds Rust doctests on both entry points and the same semantics to the Python
and TypeScript parameter docs, plus a worked Python example. Also adds the
abstract refresh_column that both concrete Python tables already implemented,
so the surface is declared in one place and the cross-references resolve.

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.
