Ishita Singh e5873d9763 fix(node): support nested blobs with blobMode 'bytes' (#4610)
Closes #4609.

`blobMode: "bytes"` only resolved top-level blob columns, so a blob
nested in a struct came back as its descriptor. Now struct projections
that contain blob columns are resolved too: the bytes are fetched per
blob column and the struct is rebuilt with `LargeBinary` leaves,
preserving struct validity so a null struct stays null. Sibling fields
pass through untouched, aliases work for both `info.image AS image` and
`info AS details`, and blobs nested in lists still keep their
descriptors.

Tested with `npx tsc`, `biome check`, and the full `table.test.ts` suite
(580 tests, including new regressions for select-all, struct selection,
aliases, null structs, null and empty blobs, sibling fields, empty
results, and single-row batches). Not run against remote tables.

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.
