NOTE: This package is no longer maintained and is not compatible with newer versions of OrientDB. You should use the official node.js driver which is based on this work.

Introduction

This is a node.js driver for OrientDB using the OrientDB binary protocol.

Installation

npm install orientdb

As developer you should fork/clone this repo and once you have it on your machine, do the following in your repo directory:

npm install

Versioning

In order to make it clearer what OrientDB version is supported we will the following versionning scheme: x.y.z, where x.y is the OrientDB major and minor version.

For example:

  • when OrientDB releases version 1.3.0 we will start publishing versions 1.3.z
  • when OrientDB version 1.4.0 is out, we will start publishing 1.4.z versions

The z part of our version is our internal patch number for that OrientDB release. This will be used using the semantic versioning (semver) rules.

For example:

  • before an OrientDB release (say 1.5.0), we will use versions like 1.5.0-alpha1 or 1.5.0-beta1
  • by the time OrientDB releases version 1.5.1, we are probably further with the patch number z (say 1.5.3) due to bug correction, forgotten features, etc. To test OrientDB 1.5.1 we will start using versions like: 1.5.4-beta1, where our 1.5.4 version will correspond to the OrientDB release 1.5.1.

Is this clear? ;)

Status

This OrientDB driver is almost mature now, but we are still testing it. While we use it in production already and therefore it implements a sufficient number of features for making a fully featured application, we recommend you make some thorough tests before you do it as well. If you find any problems, let us know such that we can improve things. Until version 1.0 we also don't guarantee any backwards compatibility and API stability since we are trying things out. But 1.0 should not be far from now.

The following commands are not implemented yet (just pick one and send us a pull request):

  • RECORD_CHANGE_IDENTITY
  • RECORD_CLEAN_OUT
  • POSITIONS_FLOOR
  • POSITIONS_CEILING
  • PUSH_RECORD
  • PUSH_DISTRIB_CONFIG
  • DB_COPY
  • REPLICATION
  • CLUSTER

Supported database versions

We test each release against the following OrientDB versions: 1.1.0, 1.3.0.

We've had to drop OrientDB 1.2.0 support because of this issue. If you're using 1.2.0, we strongly encourage you to evaluate 1.3.0.

Testing

An OrientDB Graph Edition server instance must be running. Use the test configuration files to provide data to the tests about the running instance (user, port, etc.).

Then run:

npm test

to run all the tests under test, or

node test/db_open_close.js

to run a specific test.

And make sure all run before you make a pull request.

NOTE: The test/z_shutdown.js will shutdown the server. So make sure it's the last one to run. (i.e. Don't add a test that is after this one in Lexicographical order.)

Connecting to a database

var orient = require("orientdb"),
    Db = orient.Db,
    Server = orient.Server;

var dbConfig = {
    user_name: "admin",
    user_password: "admin"
};
var serverConfig = {
    host: "localhost",
    port: 2424
};

var server = new Server(serverConfig);
var db = new Db("temp", server, dbConfig);

db.open(function(err) {

    if (err) {
        console.log(err);
        return;
    }

    console.log("Database '" + db.databaseName + "' has " + db.clusters.length + " clusters");

    // use db.command(...) function to run OrientDB SQL queries
});

Driver Compatibility Matrix

The following table list all the commands exposed by OrientDB. It's here to help you helping us: just pick one of the not yet implemented commands and send us a pull request.

Each command has a JS API if it's already supported, or a "not yet implemented" if not.

It also has a Yes/No/Not yet label under each supported OrientDB versions: commands may be implemented but may be available only with recent OrientDB.
