Stability: NaN – Array(16).join("wat" - 1) + " Batman!"

Fetch & cache :origin/_all_docs using a set of lexographically sorted keys

Features · How It Works · Thanks

Features

• 🛋️ Relax! Use the start_key and end_key CouchDB APIs to harness the power of partition-tolerance from the b-tree
• 🔑 Accepts a set of lexographically sorted pivots to use as B-tree partitions
• 🦿 Run map-reduce operations on _all_docs and packument entries by key range or cache partition
• 🔜 🕸️⚡️🐢🦎🦀 Lightning fast partition-tolerant edge read-replica for cache-control: immutable "Pouch-like" [{ _id, _rev, ...doc }*] JSON documents out of the box!

Usage

pnpm install @_all_docs/cache

🐲 🐉 Here. Be. Dragons 🤯 Letting the interface(s) reveal themselves for now. No official interface 🤖 _all_docs_* bin scripts for npx included below

1️⃣ Fetch _all_docs by partitions created from pivots

DEBUG=_all_docs* PIVOTS=a.string.array.js npx _all_docs_from_origin

# Inspect partitions fetched to _all_docs cache
ls -al cache/*__*.json

a.string.array.js (naive)

module.exports = [
  null,
  ...numbers,
  ...atoz
];

2️⃣ Fetch packuments for a cached _all_docs partition

DEBUG=_all_docs* npx _all_docs_partipacku A___Z

How it works

1️⃣ Fetch _all_docs for pivots

1. 📍 Provide npm origin, lexographic pivots, & location for existing cache (if any)
2. ⚡️ Create [{ start_key, end_key, id, filename }] partition ranges from lexographic pivots
3. 🏃‍♀️ For each [start_key, end_key] partition:
   • 🗄️ Attempt to read ${start_key}___${end_key}.json from local disk cache
     • ✅ Set max-age=${now-last.now}s to HTTP headers for the outbound undici options.
   • ⬇️ GET :npm-origin/_all_docs?start_key={start_key}&end_key={end_key}&include_docs=false
4. 👀 Validate the HTTP response:
   • ✅ 304 Not Modified Local Cache Valid. No update necessary
   • 📝 200 OK Update cache contents for ${start_key}___${end_key}.json partition

2️⃣ Fetch packuments for _all_docs partition
