level-reactive

Reactive templating for data stored in a LevelDB.

If you primarily display lists of data stored in LevelDBs, level-list is a way nicer abstraction and has builtin support for reactive templates.

Usage

Given this data stored in a leveldb:

user = juliangruber
messages!1 = oh hai
messages!2 = what's up
messages!3 = rad!

And this html template:

<div>
  <p db-key="user"></p>
  <div db-each="messages">
    <p data-text="body"></p>
  </div>
</div>

Tie them together by calling reactive on your db, template and view object.

var reactive = require('level-reactive');
var domify = require('domify');
var MemDB = require('memdb');
var tmpl = '<div>\n<p db-key=...';

var db = MemDB();

function UserView (user) {
  this.user = user;
  this.el = domify(tmpl);
  reactive(db, this.el, user, this);
}

var view = new UserView({});
document.body.appendChild(view.el);

And the resulting DOM will be:

<div>
  <p db-key="user">juliangruber</p>
  <div>
    <p data-text="body">oh hai</p>
    <p data-text="body">what's up</p>
    <p data-text="body">rad!</p>
  </div>
</div>

Update the template just by working with the database:

db.put('user', 'mbalho');
db.put('messages!4', 'oh!');

API

reactive(db, el, obj[, options])

Except for the first argument the same as component/reactive.

This will install level-live-stream on the source, if you didn't already do that.

TODO

Clean up templates.
Handle delete events in live streams.

Installation

With npm do:

npm install level-reactive

Then bundle for the browser with browserify.
