Description Author

This object can store large objects in many smaller ones.

It acts like an object that stores key-value pairs but internally it creates multiple objects of limited length when the the number of entries exceeds the configured object limit.

The object provides functions to set and get key values, check if a key exists, remove a value with a given key, and traverse the object entries using a callback function.

Some applications need to search data on dictionaries with a large number of entries.

This object addresses this problem by creating an associative array like interface to access large dictionaries splitting them internally into small objects that manage a limited number of entries.

Encyclopedia

i make this library to masking big object in nodejs. you can use this when you have to store a big data in nodejs. but considering your hardware also :-)

the logic behind this is i make separated object for masking a big object. example you need to store 100.000 properties and this library is make 100 object with 1000 properties each object.

default per object is 1 million, but you can set it when create new instance. example:

	var encyclopedia = require('encyclopedia');
	var data = encyclopedia(1000); // 1000 property per object

getting started

	var encyclopedia = require('encyclopedia');
	var data = encyclopedia(); // create new instance

	data.set('some key', 'some value');
	data.get('some key'); // return 'some value'

set(k, v)

	data.set('some key', 'some value');

get(k)

	console.log( data.get('some key') );

has(k)

	if(data.has('some key')){
		console.log('gotcha!');
	}else{
		console.log('not found!');
	}

unset(k, v)

	data.set('foo', 'bar'); // foo => bar
	data.unset('foo'); // foo deleted 
	data.get('foo') // undefined

walk(callback(k, v){ })

	var max = 10;
	for(var i = 0; i < max; i++){
		data.set(i, i);
	}

	data.walk(function(k, v){
		console.log(k + ' => ' + v);
	});

note: if callback return FALSE it will break the walk, otherwise walk will continue..

getLength()

	var max = 10;
	for(var i = 0; i < max; i++){
		data.set(i, i);
	}

	console.log('now length: ' + data.getLength()); // 10

need a lot to be improved

in this early development i just focus on main idea, separated big object.. i think there is a lot to be improved. you are very welcome to contribute :-)
