node-tyrant
===========

This is an implementation of the Tokyo Tyrant network protocol for the Node javascript/v8 language.

Update: v0.2
updated to move from promises to function(err, value) callbacks in node.js

Update: v0.1.3
updated to use the updated module structure of node.

Update: v0.1.1
node-tyrant has been updated to use the new binary stream representation, and now uses promises for callbacks.

Install Tokyo Cabinet / Tokyo Tyrant, and set up either a b-tree or table database:

For a table database:
ttserver casket.tdb

For a b-tree (key/value) database:
ttserver casket.tcb


Quick Example
------------


var tyrant = require("./tyrant");
var sys = require('sys');

var c = tyrant.connect();

c.addListener("connect", function (){
  c.genuid(function(err, v) {sys.puts(v);});
  c.put('0', 'town', 'Bangor € 1');
  c.get('0', function(err, values) {
    var r=tyrant.dict(values);
    sys.puts(r.town);
    c.quit();
  });
});
