A Nim wrapper for [Facebook's RocksDB](https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb), a persistent key-value store for Flash and RAM Storage.
## Current status
Nim-RocksDB currently provides a wrapper for the low-level functions of RocksDB
## Usage
See [simple_example](examples/simple_example.nim)
```nim
import rocksdb, cpuinfo
const
dbPath: cstring = "/tmp/rocksdb_simple_example"
dbBackupPath: cstring = "/tmp/rocksdb_simple_example_backup"
proc main() =
var
db: ptr rocksdb_t
be: ptr rocksdb_backup_engine_t
options = rocksdb_options_create()
# Optimize RocksDB. This is the easiest way to
# get RocksDB to perform well
let cpus = countProcessors()
rocksdb_options_increase_parallelism(options, cpus.int32)
rocksdb_options_optimize_level_style_compaction(options, 0);
# create the DB if it's not already present
rocksdb_options_set_create_if_missing(options, 1);
# open DB
var err: cstringArray
db = rocksdb_open(options, dbPath, err)
doAssert err.isNil
# open Backup Engine that we will use for backing up our database
be = rocksdb_backup_engine_open(options, dbBackupPath, err)
doAssert err.isNil
# Put key-value
var writeOptions = rocksdb_writeoptions_create()
let key = "key"
let put_value = "value"
rocksdb_put(db, writeOptions, key.cstring, key.len, put_value.cstring, put_value.len, err)
doAssert err.isNil
# Get value
var readOptions = rocksdb_readoptions_create()
var len: csize
let raw_value = rocksdb_get(db, readOptions, key, key.len, addr len, err) # Important: rocksdb_get is not null-terminated
doAssert err.isNil
# Copy it to a regular Nim string (copyMem workaround because raw value is NOT null-terminated)
var get_value = newString(len)
copyMem(addr get_value[0], unsafeAddr raw_value[0], len * sizeof(char))
doAssert get_value == put_value
# create new backup in a directory specified by DBBackupPath
rocksdb_backup_engine_create_new_backup(be, db, err)
doAssert err.isNil
rocksdb_close(db)
# If something is wrong, you might want to restore data from last backup
var restoreOptions = rocksdb_restore_options_create()
rocksdb_backup_engine_restore_db_from_latest_backup(be, dbPath, dbPath,
restoreOptions, err)
doAssert err.isNil
rocksdb_restore_options_destroy(restore_options)
db = rocksdb_open(options, dbPath, err)
doAssert err.isNil
# cleanup
rocksdb_writeoptions_destroy(writeOptions)
rocksdb_readoptions_destroy(readOptions)
rocksdb_options_destroy(options)
rocksdb_backup_engine_close(be)
rocksdb_close(db)
main()
```
## Future directions
In the future, Nim-RocksDB might provide a high-level API that:
- is more in line with Nim conventions (types in CamelCase),
- automatically checks for errors,
- leverage Nim features like destructors for automatic resource cleanup.
