Level for Elixir
================

Level for Elixir implements various helper functions and data types for working with Googles Level data store.

The project is implemented using [Basho's eleveldb](https://github.com/basho/eleveldb) level data bindings, but its interface varies a bit. If you are looking for a minimal eLevelDb Elixir wrapper which is more true to eleveldb you should check out [ExLevelDb](https://github.com/skovsgaard/exleveldb) by [Jonas Skovsgaard](https://github.com/skovsgaard/).


Installation
------------
The project is on hex.pm. Add it to your dependencies as you would with any other hex-package.

The eleveldb dependency require you to run `mix do deps.get, deps.compile` because it is not a hex-package.


Examples
--------
Create a data store with a ton of words.

```elixir
words = Level.create!("/tmp/words")

Level.get(words, "test")

File.stream!("/usr/share/dict/words")
|> Stream.map(&String.strip/1)
|> Enum.into(words)

Level.get(words, "test")
```

Let us find the palindromes in the words.

```elixir
palindromes = Level.stream(words, [keys_only: true])
|> Stream.filter(&(&1 == String.reverse(&1)))
|> Enum.into([])
```

Now let us try to find the longest word between a and g.

```elixir
longest_word_in_range = Level.range(words, "a", "f\xff", [keys_only: true])
|> Enum.reduce("", fn(word, acc) -> if String.length(acc) <= String.length(word), do: word, else: acc end)
```
