Trippy is an experimental, LevelDB-backed graph database that utilizes a 'triple' data model, consisting of 'subject', 'predicate', and 'object' fields, to represent data relationships. Inspired by the more established `levelgraph` project, Trippy was designed to simplify graph streams over remote protocols and processes, specifically integrating with `multilevel` and `level-sublevel` for this purpose. The package is currently at version 0.0.3, with its last known update around 2014, indicating it is an early-stage, unmaintained project. Its core differentiator was its minimalistic approach to graph data storage on top of the LevelDB ecosystem, focusing on explicit triple structures for interconnected queries.

Verified usage

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

trippy
✓ const trippy = require('trippy');
✗ import trippy from 'trippy'
Package is CommonJS-only and relies on older Node.js `require` syntax.
levelup
✓ const levelup = require('levelup');
✗ import levelup from 'levelup'
Core dependency for interacting with LevelDB; also CommonJS.

This example demonstrates initializing Trippy with a LevelDB store, then adding and querying a simple subject-predicate-object triple.

const levelup = require('levelup'); const trippy = require('trippy'); const db = trippy(levelup('data')); const triple = { s: 'requestshark', p: 'follows', o: 'badeen' }; db.put(triple, function (err) { if (err) { console.error('Error putting triple:', err); return; } console.log('Triple added successfully.'); db.get({ o: 'badeen' }, function (err, value) { if (err) { console.error('Error getting triple:', err); return; } console.log('Found triples:', value); }); });
Debug
Known issues
breakingThis package is explicitly experimental and has been abandoned since its last release over a decade ago (version 0.0.3, last updated ~2014). It is not suitable for production use.
fix
Migrate to actively maintained graph database solutions or LevelDB wrappers like 'levelgraph' which, while also older, saw more sustained development.
affects: All versions
breakingDependencies are severely outdated (e.g., `levelup`, `leveldown`, `level-sublevel`, `multilevel`). These older packages may have compatibility issues with modern Node.js versions, especially due to breaking changes in native add-ons or API interfaces.
fix
Expect significant refactoring or dependency upgrades if attempting to use in a modern Node.js environment. Many of these older `level` ecosystem packages are no longer actively maintained or have undergone major API changes in their latest versions.
affects: All versions
gotchaThe package uses a callback-heavy API style typical of older Node.js development. This can lead to 'callback hell' and makes integration with modern async/await patterns cumbersome without manual promisification.
fix
Wrap callback-based functions in `new Promise()` to use with `async/await` syntax, or choose a modern library that natively supports Promises.
affects: All versions
gotchaBeing an unmaintained project, there's no official support for bug fixes, security patches, or feature enhancements. This poses significant stability and security risks for any application incorporating it.
fix
Avoid using in any new project. For existing projects, prioritize migration to a actively maintained alternative.
affects: All versions
Errors
Common errors & fixes
Error: Cannot find module 'leveldown' (or similar native binding error)
Outdated native LevelDB bindings (`leveldown`) are often incompatible with newer Node.js versions or different compilation environments.
fix
This is a fundamental incompatibility issue due to the package's age. It's unlikely to be fixable without significant manual intervention, potentially recompiling native modules for your specific Node.js version and OS. Migration to a current solution is recommended.
TypeError: db.put is not a function (or similar method missing error)
The `trippy` initialization expects a `levelup` instance. If `levelup` fails to initialize or `trippy`'s internal structure changes (which is unlikely given its abandonment, but possible with corrupted installations), methods might be missing.
fix
Ensure `levelup('data')` successfully returns a valid LevelUP instance and that `trippy` is correctly wrapping it. Check package installations and Node.js compatibility.
