# LokiJS [LokiJS.org web site](http://lokijs.org) | [LokiJS GitHub page](https://github.com/techfort/LokiJS) | [Sandbox / Playground](https://rawgit.com/techfort/LokiJS/master/examples/sandbox/LokiSandbox.htm) ## Documentation Overview This is an early effort to provide a more accurate and up-to-date version of LokiJS documentation by using jsdoc. Since modifications arise from various contributors, this should allow distributed effort toward maintaining this documentation. ## Getting Started Creating a database : ```javascript var db = new loki('example.db'); ``` Add a collection : ```javascript var users = db.addCollection('users'); ``` Insert documents : ```javascript users.insert({ name: 'Odin', age: 50, address: 'Asgard' }); // alternatively, insert array of documents users.insert([{ name: 'Thor', age: 35}, { name: 'Loki', age: 30}]); ``` Simple find query : ```javascript var results = users.find({ age: {'$gte': 35} }); var odin = users.findOne({ name:'Odin' }); ``` Simple where query : ```javascript var results = users.where(function(obj) { return (obj.age >= 35); }); ``` Simple Chaining : ```javascript var results = users.chain().find({ age: {'$gte': 35} }).simplesort('name').data(); ``` Simple named transform : ```javascript users.addTransform('progeny', [ { type: 'find', value: { 'age': {'$lte': 40} } } ]); var results = users.chain('progeny').data(); ``` Simple Dynamic View : ```javascript var pview = users.addDynamicView('progeny'); pview.applyFind({ 'age': {'$lte': 40} }); pview.applySimpleSort('name'); var results = pview.data(); ```
