Reqlite - RethinkDB in JavaScript
What is it?
Reqlite is an implementation of a ReQL server in JavaScript. Meaning that you can connect to reqlite with the RethinkDB driver and send queries (create a table, insert documents, filter them, open a chanfeed etc.
./bin/reqlite
Does it work?
Most of the methods work. There are currently 2000+ tests passing.
Why?
The main reasons why this project was started were:
- Provide an easy way for node developers to test their code without having to start a RethinkDB server.
- Maybe Meteor will use it to build a mini-rethinkdb - See meteor-rethinkdb
- Use it on Windows instead of running a Docker container in Vagrant
- Because it's kind of fun :-)
Version of RethinkDB supported
It currently tries to match RethinkDB 2.0.x.
Run tests
Most of the tests run queries against RethinkDB and reqlite at the same time, and compare the output.
Start RethinkDB on port 28015
rethinkdb
And reqlite on port 28016:
node ./lib/node.js --port-offset 1
If you are developing on reqlite, you may want to use
nodemon lib/node.js -- -L --port-offset 1 --debug
Then run:
npm test
