filter: { category: 'greeting' }
});
results.forEach(result => {
console.log(`ID: ${result.id}, Score: ${result.score}`);
console.log(`Metadata:`, result.metadata);
});
// Get database stats
console.log(`Total vectors: ${await db.len()}`);
}
main().catch(console.error);
```
### TypeScript (ESM)
```typescript
import { VectorDB, JsDbOptions, JsSearchQuery } from 'ruvector';
interface DocumentMetadata {
text: string;
category: string;
timestamp: number;
}
async function semanticSearch() {
// Advanced configuration
const options: JsDbOptions = {
dimensions: 768,
distanceMetric: 'Cosine',
storagePath: './my-vectors.db',
hnswConfig: {
m: 32, // Connections per layer
efConstruction: 200, // Build quality
efSearch: 100 // Search quality

## 📖 API Reference
### VectorDB Class
#### Constructor
```typescript
// Option 1: Full configuration
const db = new VectorDB({
dimensions: 384, // Required: Vector dimensions
hnswConfig?: {
m?: number, // Default: 32 (16-64 recommended)
efConstruction?: number, // Default: 200 (100-500)
efSearch?: number, // Default: 100 (50-500)
maxElements?: number // Default: 10,000,000

}
});
// Option 2: Simple factory method (uses defaults)
const db = VectorDB.withDimensions(384);
```
**Configuration Guide:**
- **dimensions**: Must match your embedding model output (e.g., 384 for all-MiniLM-L6-v2, 768 for BERT, 1536 for OpenAI text-embedding-3-small)
- **distanceMetric**:
- `Cosine`: Best for normalized vectors (text embeddings, most ML models) - Default
- `Euclidean`: Best for absolute distances (images, spatial data)
- `DotProduct`: Best for positive vectors with magnitude info
- `Manhattan`: Best for sparse vectors (L1 norm)
- **storagePath**: Path to persistent storage file
- **hnswConfig**: Controls search quality and speed tradeoff
- **quantization**: Enables memory compression (4-32x reduction)
#### Methods
##### `insert(entry): Promise<string>`
Insert a single vector and return its ID.
```typescript
const id = await db.insert({
id?: string, // Optional (auto-generated UUID if not provided)
vector: Float32Array, // Required: Vector data
metadata?: Record<string, any> // Optional: JSON object
});
```
**Example:**
```javascript
const id = await db.insert({
vector: new Float32Array([0.1, 0.2, 0.3, ...]),

text: 'example document',
category: 'research',
timestamp: Date.now()
}
});
console.log(`Inserted with ID: ${id}`);
```
##### `insertBatch(entries): Promise<string[]>`
Insert multiple vectors efficiently in a batch (10-50x faster than sequential inserts).
```typescript
const ids = await db.insertBatch([
{ vector: new Float32Array([...]) },
{ vector: new Float32Array([...]), metadata: { text: 'example' } }
]);
```
**Example:**
```javascript
// Bad: Sequential inserts (slow)
for (const vector of vectors) {
await db.insert({ vector }); // Don't do this!
}
// Good: Batch insert (10-50x faster)
await db.insertBatch(
vectors.map(v => ({ vector: new Float32Array(v) }))
);
```
##### `search(query): Promise<SearchResult[]>`
Search for similar vectors using HNSW approximate nearest neighbor search.
```typescript
const results = await db.search({
vector: Float32Array, // Required: Query vector
k: number, // Required: Number of results
filter?: Record<string, any>, // Optional: Metadata filters
efSearch?: number // Optional: HNSW search parameter (higher = more accurate)
});
// Result format:
interface SearchResult {
id: string; // Vector ID
score: number; // Distance (lower is better for most metrics)
vector?: number[]; // Original vector (optional, for debugging)
metadata?: any; // Metadata object
}
```
**Example:**
```javascript
const results = await db.search({
vector: queryEmbedding,
k: 10,
filter: { category: 'research', year: 2024 },
efSearch: 150 // Higher = better recall, slower search
});
results.forEach(result => {
const similarity = 1 - result.score; // Convert distance to similarity
console.log(`${result.metadata.text}: ${similarity.toFixed(3)}`);
});
```
##### `get(id): Promise<VectorEntry | null>`
Retrieve a vector by ID.
```typescript
const entry = await db.get('vector-id');
if (entry) {
console.log(entry.vector, entry.metadata);
}
```
##### `delete(id): Promise<boolean>`
Delete a vector by ID. Returns `true` if deleted, `false` if not found.
```typescript
const deleted = await db.delete('vector-id');
console.log(deleted ? 'Deleted' : 'Not found');
```
##### `len(): Promise<number>`
Get the total number of vectors in the database.
```typescript
const count = await db.len();
console.log(`Database contains ${count} vectors`);
```
##### `isEmpty(): Promise<boolean>`

```typescript
import { version } from 'ruvector';
console.log(`Ruvector v${version()}`);
```
## 🎯 Common Use Cases
### 1. RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation)
Build production-ready RAG systems with fast vector retrieval for LLMs.
```javascript
const { VectorDB } = require('ruvector');
const { OpenAI } = require('openai');
class RAGSystem {
constructor() {
this.db = VectorDB.withDimensions(1536); // OpenAI embedding size
this.openai = new OpenAI();
}
async indexDocument(text, metadata) {
// Split into chunks (use better chunking in production)
const chunks = this.chunkText(text, 512);
// Get embeddings from OpenAI
const embeddings = await this.openai.embeddings.create({
model: 'text-embedding-3-small',
input: chunks
});
// Insert into vector DB
const ids = await this.db.insertBatch(
embeddings.data.map((emb, i) => ({
vector: new Float32Array(emb.embedding),
metadata: { ...metadata, chunk: i, text: chunks[i] }
}))
);
return ids;
}
async query(question, k = 5) {
// Embed the question
const response = await this.openai.embeddings.create({
model: 'text-embedding-3-small',
input: [question]
});
// Search for relevant chunks
const results = await this.db.search({
vector: new Float32Array(response.data[0].embedding),
k
});
// Extract context
const context = results
.map(r => r.metadata.text)
.join('\n\n');
// Generate answer with LLM
const completion = await this.openai.chat.completions.create({
model: 'gpt-4',
messages: [
{ role: 'system', content: 'Answer based on the context provided.' },
{ role: 'user', content: `Context:\n${context}\n\nQuestion: ${question}` }
]
});
return {
answer: completion.choices[0].message.content,
sources: results.map(r => r.metadata)
};
}
chunkText(text, maxLength) {
// Simple word-based chunking
const words = text.split(' ');
const chunks = [];
let current = [];
for (const word of words) {
current.push(word);
if (current.join(' ').length > maxLength) {
chunks.push(current.join(' '));
current = [];
}
}
if (current.length > 0) {
chunks.push(current.join(' '));
}
return chunks;
}
}
// Usage
const rag = new RAGSystem();
await rag.indexDocument('Long document text...', { source: 'doc.pdf' });
const result = await rag.query('What is the main topic?');
console.log(result.answer);
console.log('Sources:', result.sources);
```
### 2. Semantic Code Search
Find similar code patterns across your codebase.
```typescript
import { VectorDB } from 'ruvector';
import { pipeline } from '@xenova/transformers';
// Use a code-specific embedding model
const embedder = await pipeline(
'feature-extraction',
'Xenova/codebert-base'
);
const db = VectorDB.withDimensions(768);
// Index code snippets
async function indexCodebase(codeFiles: Array<{ path: string, code: string }>) {
for (const file of codeFiles) {
const embedding = await embedder(file.code, {
pooling: 'mean',
normalize: true
});
await db.insert({
vector: new Float32Array(embedding.data),
metadata: {
path: file.path,
code: file.code,
language: file.path.split('.').pop()
}
});
}
}
// Search for similar code
async function findSimilarCode(query: string, k = 10) {
const embedding = await embedder(query, {
pooling: 'mean',
normalize: true
});
const results = await db.search({
vector: new Float32Array(embedding.data),
k
});
return results.map(r => ({
path: r.metadata.path,
code: r.metadata.code,
similarity: 1 - r.score
}));
}
// Example usage
await indexCodebase([
{ path: 'utils.ts', code: 'function parseJSON(str) { ... }' },
{ path: 'api.ts', code: 'async function fetchData(url) { ... }' }
]);
const similar = await findSimilarCode('parse JSON string');
console.log(similar);
```
### 3. Recommendation System
Build personalized recommendation engines.
```javascript
const { VectorDB } = require('ruvector');
class RecommendationEngine {
constructor() {
// User/item embeddings from collaborative filtering or content features
this.db = VectorDB.withDimensions(128);
}
async addItem(itemId, features, metadata) {
await this.db.insert({
id: itemId,
vector: new Float32Array(features),
metadata: {
...metadata,
addedAt: Date.now()
}
});
}
async recommendSimilar(itemId, k = 10, filters = {}) {
// Get the item's embedding
const item = await this.db.get(itemId);
if (!item) return [];
// Find similar items
const results = await this.db.search({
vector: item.vector,
k: k + 1, // +1 because it will include itself
filter: filters
});
// Remove the item itself from results
return results
.filter(r => r.id !== itemId)
.slice(0, k)
.map(r => ({
id: r.id,
similarity: 1 - r.score,
...r.metadata
}));
}
async recommendForUser(userVector, k = 10, category = null) {
const filter = category ? { category } : undefined;
const results = await this.db.search({
vector: new Float32Array(userVector),
k,
filter
});
return results.map(r => ({
id: r.id,
score: 1 - r.score,
...r.metadata
}));
}
}
// Usage
const engine = new RecommendationEngine();
// Add products
await engine.addItem('prod-1', new Array(128).fill(0.1), {
name: 'Laptop',
category: 'electronics',
price: 999
});
// Get similar products
const similar = await engine.recommendSimilar('prod-1', 5, {
category: 'electronics'
});
// Get recommendations for user
const userPreferences = new Array(128).fill(0.15); // From ML model
const recommended = await engine.recommendForUser(userPreferences, 10);
```
### 4. Duplicate Detection
Find and deduplicate similar documents or records.
```typescript
import { VectorDB } from 'ruvector';
class DuplicateDetector {
private db: VectorDB;
private threshold: number;
constructor(dimensions: number, threshold = 0.95) {
this.db = VectorDB.withDimensions(dimensions);
this.threshold = threshold; // Similarity threshold
}
async addDocument(id: string, embedding: Float32Array, metadata: any) {
// Check for duplicates before adding
const duplicates = await this.findDuplicates(embedding, 1);
if (duplicates.length > 0) {
return {
added: false,
duplicate: duplicates[0]
};
}
await this.db.insert({ id, vector: embedding, metadata });
return { added: true };
}
async findDuplicates(embedding: Float32Array, k = 5) {
const results = await this.db.search({
vector: embedding,
k
});
return results
.filter(r => (1 - r.score) >= this.threshold)
.map(r => ({
id: r.id,
similarity: 1 - r.score,
metadata: r.metadata
}));
}
}
// Usage
const detector = new DuplicateDetector(384, 0.95);
const result = await detector.addDocument(
'doc-1',
documentEmbedding,
{ text: 'Example document' }
);
if (!result.added) {
console.log('Duplicate found:', result.duplicate);
}
```
## 🔧 Performance Tuning
### HNSW Parameters
Tune the HNSW index for your specific use case:
```javascript
// High-recall configuration (research, critical applications)
const highRecallDb = new VectorDB({
dimensions: 384,
hnswConfig: {
m: 64, // More connections = better recall
efConstruction: 400, // Higher quality index build
efSearch: 200 // More thorough search
}
});
// Balanced configuration (most applications) - DEFAULT
const balancedDb = new VectorDB({
dimensions: 384,
hnswConfig: {
m: 32,
efConstruction: 200,
efSearch: 100
}
});
// Speed-optimized configuration (real-time applications)
const fastDb = new VectorDB({
dimensions: 384,
hnswConfig: {
m: 16, // Fewer connections = faster
efConstruction: 100,
efSearch: 50 // Faster search, slightly lower recall
}
});
```
**Parameter Guide:**
- **m** (16-64): Number of connections per node
- Higher = better recall, more memory, slower inserts
- Lower = faster inserts, less memory, slightly lower recall
- **efConstruction** (100-500): Quality of index construction
- Higher = better index quality, slower builds
- Lower = faster builds, slightly lower recall
- **efSearch** (50-500): Search quality parameter
- Higher = better recall, slower searches
- Lower = faster searches, slightly lower recall
- Can be overridden per query
### Quantization for Large Datasets
Reduce memory usage by 4-32x with quantization:
```javascript
// Product Quantization: 8-32x memory compression
const pqDb = new VectorDB({
dimensions: 768,
quantization: {
type: 'product',
subspaces: 16, // 768 / 16 = 48 dims per subspace
k: 256 // 256 centroids (8-bit quantization)
}
});
// Binary Quantization: 32x compression, very fast (best for Cosine)
const binaryDb = new VectorDB({
dimensions: 384,
quantization: { type: 'binary' }
});
// Scalar Quantization: 4x compression, minimal accuracy loss
const scalarDb = new VectorDB({
dimensions: 384,
quantization: { type: 'scalar' }
});
// No Quantization: Maximum accuracy, more memory
const fullDb = new VectorDB({
dimensions: 384,
quantization: { type: 'none' }
});
```
**Quantization Guide:**
- **Product**: Best for large datasets (>100K vectors), 8-32x compression
- **Binary**: Fastest search, 32x compression, works best with Cosine metric
- **Scalar**: Good balance (4x compression, <1% accuracy loss)
- **None**: Maximum accuracy, no compression
### Batch Operations
Always use batch operations for better performance:
```javascript
// ❌ Bad: Sequential inserts (slow)
for (const vector of vectors) {
await db.insert({ vector });
}
// ✅ Good: Batch insert (10-50x faster)
await db.insertBatch(
vectors.map(v => ({ vector: new Float32Array(v) }))
);
```
### Distance Metrics
Choose the right metric for your embeddings:
```javascript
// Cosine: Best for normalized vectors (text embeddings, most ML models)
const cosineDb = new VectorDB({
dimensions: 384,
distanceMetric: 'Cosine' // Range: [0, 2], lower is better
});
// Euclidean: Best for absolute distances (images, spatial data)
const euclideanDb = new VectorDB({
dimensions: 384,
distanceMetric: 'Euclidean' // Range: [0, ∞], lower is better
});
// DotProduct: Best for positive vectors with magnitude info
const dotProductDb = new VectorDB({
dimensions: 384,
distanceMetric: 'DotProduct' // Range: (-∞, ∞), higher is better
});
// Manhattan: Best for sparse vectors (L1 norm)
const manhattanDb = new VectorDB({
dimensions: 384,
distanceMetric: 'Manhattan' // Range: [0, ∞], lower is better
});
```
