library0.1.8jsnpmunverified

An ORM-like object storage layer for Riak, version 0.1.8. Provides a simple API for storing and retrieving JSON objects in Riak with schema stored in the database. No SQL, no complexity—just basic CRUD operations via promises. Designed for Node.js, relies on riak-dc for HTTP communication with Riak. Release cadence unknown; last update likely circa 2014. Differentiator: minimalistic, synchronous-like API using Q promises, no relational features, schema-light. Not actively maintained.

Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

✓ import rm from 'rm'

✗ const rm = require('rm')

ESM default import; commonjs require also works but not recommended

add_object

✓ import { add_object } from 'rm'

✗ import rm from 'rm'; rm.add_object

Named export, can also use default and destructure

get_objects

✓ import { get_objects } from 'rm'

Named export

del_object

✓ import { del_object } from 'rm'

Named export

Demonstrates basic CRUD: adding an object, retrieving all objects of a type, and deleting an object using the RM library with riak-dc configured for a local Riak instance.

import rm from 'rm'; import riakdc from 'riak-dc'; // configure riak-dc if not using default localhost:8098 riakdc.init({ host: 'localhost', port: 8098 }); // add a new object rm.add_object('automobile', { make: 'Toyota', model: 'Camry', year: 2020 }) .then(obj => { console.log('Saved with serial:', obj.serial); }) .catch(err => console.error(err)); // get all objects of a type rm.get_objects('automobile') .then(objs => { objs.forEach(o => console.log(o.make, o.model)); }); // delete an object (must have serial) rm.del_object('automobile', { serial: 'some-serial' }) .then(() => console.log('Deleted'));

Debug

Known issues

abandonedPackage is abandoned; no updates since 2014. May have security vulnerabilities in dependencies (e.g., q, riak-dc).

fix

Migrate to a maintained Riak client or alternative ORM.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaObjects must have a 'serial' property to be updated or deleted; otherwise an exception is thrown.

fix

Ensure objects retrieved via get_objects have serials; for new objects, serial is assigned after add_object.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaSchema is not enforced; objects can violate the schema template.

fix

Validate objects manually before storing.

affects: >=0.0.0

deprecatedUses Q promises, which are outdated; modern code should use native Promises or async/await.

fix

Wrap Q promises with native Promise or use a promise wrapper.

affects: >=0.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Error: Object already exists

Calling add_object on an object that already has a serial or is duplicate.

fix

Use update_object instead for existing objects.

Error: Object has no serial

Calling del_object or update_object on an object without a serial property.

fix

Ensure object has a serial (from a prior add_object or get_objects).

TypeError: Cannot read property 'init' of undefined

riak-dc not installed or imported.

fix

Run npm install riak-dc and import riakdc before using rm.
