This exposes the `LANCEDB_LOG` environment variable in node, so that users can now turn on logging. In addition, fixes a bug where only the top-level error from Rust was being shown. This PR makes sure the full error chain is included in the error message. In the future, will improve this so the error chain is set on the [cause](https://nodejs.org/api/errors.html#errorcause) property of JS errors https://github.com/lancedb/lancedb/issues/1779 Fixes #1774
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
