LevelUP Async Iterator

adds iterator() to levelup that returns this._db.iterator(options) plus an injected [Symbol.asyncIterator] property

Usage

this package requires that the host system support async-iteration. Currently for node 8.x, this requires running your application with:

node --harmony_async_iteration example.js

import/require levelup-async-iterator on app entry;

import 'levelup-async-iterator';
import * as levelup from 'levelup';
import * as leveldown from 'leveldown';
import * as encode from 'encoding-down';

let db = levelup(encode(leveldown('./db')));

async function main() {
  await db.put("a", "John");
  await db.put("b", "James");
  await db.put("c", "Janet");
  await db.put("d", "Joseph");

  let iter = db.iterator();  

  for await (let [key, value] of iter) {
    if(key === "a"){
      iter.it.seek("c");
    }
    console.log(key, value);
  }
}

main();

output:

D:\Code\levelup-async-iterator>ts-node example
a John
c Janet
d Joseph

iterator([options])

db.iterator() creates a iterator from the underlying store. the options parameter is the same as what you'd use for createReadStream
