API

chunkStore = new ChunkStore(chunkLength)

Create a new chunk store. Chunks must have a length of chunkLength.

chunkStore.put(index, chunkBuffer, [cb])

Add a new chunk to the storage. Index should be an integer.

chunkStore.get(index, [options], cb)

Retrieve a chunk stored. Index should be an integer. Options include:

{
  offset: chunkByteOffset,
  length: byteLength
}

If the index doesn't exist in the storage an error should be returned.

chunkStore.close([cb])

Close the underlying resource, e.g. if the store is backed by a file, this would close the file descriptor.

chunkStore.destroy([cb])

Destroy the file data, e.g. if the store is backed by a file, this would delete the file from the filesystem.

chunkStore.chunkLength

Expose the chunk length from the constructor so that code that receives a chunk store can know what size of chunks to write.

Test Suite

Publishing a test suite as a module lets multiple modules all ensure compatibility since they use the same test suite.

To use the test suite from this module you can require('abstract-chunk-store/tests').

An example of this can be found in the memory-chunk-store test suite.

To run the tests simply pass your test module (tap or tape or any other compatible modules are supported) and your store's constructor (or a setup function) in:

var tests = require('abstract-chunk-store/tests')
tests(require('tape'), require('your-custom-chunk-store'))

Badge

If you make a new module that uses the abstract-chunk-store API, include this badge in your readme!

Background

An abstract chunk store is a binary data store that allows you to interact with individual chunks of a larger blob (a.k.a. binary file). A chunk can be thought of as a small partial blob that fits in memory.

abstract-chunk-store's Issues

Why a numeric chunk index?

What's the thinking behind requiring a numeric index for each chunk, rather than something arbitrary as in a map (such as a hash)?

Can't use the module

Hi,

I can't use this module. After i install it via command

npm install abstract-chunk-store

It installed succeseful. Then i require it in the codes:

var ChunkStore = require('abstract-chunk-store')

But i got the error message: Cannot find module 'abstract-chunk-store'

How can i use this module?

Edit: Sorry for my confuse. ๐Ÿ‘Ž
