Functions

func IsAvailable

func IsAvailable() bool

IsAvailable returns true if the database is initialized and ready.

func SetGlobalDB

func SetGlobalDB(db *NDB)

SetGlobalDB sets the global nostrdb instance.

Types

type ExpirationTracker added in v0.6.0

type ExpirationTracker struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

ExpirationTracker is a thread-safe min-heap of pending event expirations. Created and owned by NDB; do not instantiate directly.

func (*ExpirationTracker) Len added in v0.6.0

func (t *ExpirationTracker) Len() int

Len returns the current number of tracked expirations. For tests/observability.

func (*ExpirationTracker) Track added in v0.6.0

func (t *ExpirationTracker) Track(expireAt int64, id [32]byte)

Track records a pending expiration. If the new entry beats the current heap top, the sweeper is woken so it doesn't oversleep.

type NDB

type NDB struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

NDB wraps a nostrdb instance. It is safe for concurrent use.

func GetDB

func GetDB() *NDB

GetDB returns the global nostrdb instance. Returns nil if the database hasn't been initialized.

func Open

func Open(dbDir string, mapSizeMB int, ingestThreads int) (*NDB, error)

Open initializes a new nostrdb database at the given directory path. mapSizeMB sets the maximum database size in megabytes (LMDB map size). ingestThreads controls how many threads nostrdb uses to process incoming events.

func OpenWithFlags

func OpenWithFlags(dbDir string, mapSizeMB int, ingestThreads int, flags int) (*NDB, error)

OpenWithFlags is like Open but forwards an ndb_config_set_flags bitmask to nostrdb. Use FlagSkipNoteVerify for trusted-source bulk imports.

func (*NDB) BeginQuery

func (db *NDB) BeginQuery() (*Txn, error)

BeginQuery starts a read transaction for querying the database. The caller MUST call EndQuery when done.

func (*NDB) BootstrapExpirations added in v0.6.0

func (db *NDB) BootstrapExpirations() error

BootstrapExpirations scans the DB once at startup, deletes any events whose expiration has already passed, and populates the in-memory heap with the rest. Pages backwards through created_at to cover the whole history; each page is capped by the nostrdb query limit.

func (*NDB) CheckDuplicateEvent

func (db *NDB) CheckDuplicateEvent(evt nostr.Event) (bool, error)

CheckDuplicateEvent checks if an event with the given ID already exists. Uses a lightweight pointer check — no deserialization needed.

func (*NDB) Close

func (db *NDB) Close()

Close shuts down the nostrdb instance and frees resources.

func (*NDB) CountFiltered added in v0.6.0

func (db *NDB) CountFiltered(filters []nostr.Filter) (int, bool, error)

CountFiltered returns the number of events matching `filters`. The nostrdb query API is capped at maxQueryResults per call, so we page backwards through created_at using the cursor pattern from the NIP-40 bootstrap. The bool return is true when the result is approximate:

  • hardCap reached, or
  • multiple filters supplied (we sum per-filter counts; a multi-filter union that overlaps in event ids would double-count, and dedupe would require buffering all matched ids — defeating the purpose of COUNT vs REQ).

Single-filter requests with sane time bounds get an exact count.

One known undercount edge case: if a full page (maxQueryResults events) shares the same created_at, the next page's cursor advances by one second and may skip same-second siblings beyond the page. Same trade-off as PurgeOldEvents and the expiration bootstrap.

func (*NDB) DeleteNoteByID

func (db *NDB) DeleteNoteByID(id [32]byte) error

DeleteNoteByID enqueues a real delete of an event from nostrdb by its raw 32-byte ID. The delete is applied by the nostrdb writer thread in FIFO order with ingests — a delete of an in-flight ingest of the same ID is committed atomically in the same batch and cannot race.

This is grain's one and only physical-delete primitive. All three deletion audiences (NIP-09 author deletes, operator retention / PurgeOldEvents, replaceable/addressable supersede, and admin --delete CLI) call through here. Authorization is the caller's responsibility: this function performs no checks beyond "is the DB open and is the writer queue accepting work".

Returns an error only if the DB is closed or the writer inbox is full. "Not found" is not an error at this layer — it's logged at C level and the call is a no-op.

func (*NDB) GetAllAuthors

func (db *NDB) GetAllAuthors() []string

GetAllAuthors returns all unique pubkeys that have events in the database.

func (*NDB) ProcessDeletion

func (db *NDB) ProcessDeletion(ctx context.Context, evt nostr.Event) error

ProcessDeletion handles NIP-09 kind 5 deletion events. It walks the event's `e` and `a` tags, enforces NIP-09's same-pubkey authorization rule at each tag, physically removes matching events via the nostrdb writer thread (ndb_request_delete_note), then stores the kind-5 record itself so clients can still see the deletion marker per spec.

Tag processing is best-effort: a failure on one tag is logged and the next tag is still processed. The kind-5 is always ingested at the end so that a client querying for it still sees it, even if none of its targets existed.

func (*NDB) ProcessEvent

func (db *NDB) ProcessEvent(json string) error

ProcessEvent ingests a raw JSON Nostr event string into the database. nostrdb parses the JSON, validates, indexes, and stores the event internally. The JSON should be a relay message like: ["EVENT", <subscription_id>, <event>] or just the event object itself for direct ingestion.

func (*NDB) ProcessEvents

func (db *NDB) ProcessEvents(ldjson string) error

ProcessEvents ingests multiple newline-delimited JSON events.

func (*NDB) PurgeOldEvents

func (db *NDB) PurgeOldEvents(cfg *cfgType.EventPurgeConfig, whitelistedPubkeys []string) int

PurgeOldEvents removes events older than the configured retention window. Whitelisted pubkeys (configured members) are excluded when ExcludeWhitelisted is set — this is the "non-member cleanup" knob that keeps member content forever while aging out drive-by events.

func (*NDB) Query

func (db *NDB) Query(filters []nostr.Filter, limit int) ([]nostr.Event, error)

Query executes NIP-01 filters against the database and returns matching events. This opens and closes a read transaction internally.

func (*NDB) RunExpirationSweeper added in v0.6.0

func (db *NDB) RunExpirationSweeper(ctx context.Context)

RunExpirationSweeper deletes events as their expiration passes. Blocks until ctx is cancelled. Safe to start before BootstrapExpirations finishes — Track and the bootstrap-time deletes both feed the same heap, and the sweeper just sleeps until the first deadline arrives.

func (*NDB) ScheduleEventPurging

func (db *NDB) ScheduleEventPurging(ctx context.Context, cfg *cfgType.ServerConfig, getWhitelistedPubkeys func() []string)

ScheduleEventPurging runs periodic event purging at the configured interval. It returns when ctx is cancelled so the loop doesn't outlive the server instance (and its now-closed DB handle) on a config-reload restart (#93).

func (*NDB) Stat

func (db *NDB) Stat() (*C.struct_ndb_stat, error)

Stat returns database statistics.

func (*NDB) StoreEvent

func (db *NDB) StoreEvent(ctx context.Context, evt nostr.Event) error

StoreEvent processes and stores a Nostr event in the database. nostrdb handles event ingestion internally including parsing and indexing. For replaceable and addressable events, we must handle the replacement semantics ourselves since nostrdb does not enforce NIP-01 replacement rules.

func (*NDB) TextSearch added in v0.6.0

func (db *NDB) TextSearch(query string, base nostr.Filter, limit int) ([]nostr.Event, error)

TextSearch is the no-transaction convenience wrapper, mirroring Query.

type Txn

type Txn struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Txn represents a read transaction against nostrdb. Transactions must be short-lived to avoid blocking LMDB space reclamation.

func (*Txn) EndQuery

func (txn *Txn) EndQuery()

EndQuery ends a read transaction. Must be called after BeginQuery.

func (*Txn) GetNoteByID

func (txn *Txn) GetNoteByID(hexID string) (*nostr.Event, error)

GetNoteByID looks up a single event by its hex ID.

func (*Txn) Query

func (txn *Txn) Query(filters []nostr.Filter, limit int) ([]nostr.Event, error)

Query executes NIP-01 filters within an existing transaction.

func (*Txn) TextSearch added in v0.6.0

func (txn *Txn) TextSearch(query string, base nostr.Filter, limit int) ([]nostr.Event, error)

TextSearch runs a NIP-50 fulltext query within an existing transaction. `base` carries the non-search constraints (kinds, authors, tags, since, until); its Search field is ignored — the query string is passed as a separate argument to ndb_text_search_with.

Result ordering is descending by created_at (newest-first), matching the rest of grain's read paths. nostrdb only indexes content for kinds 1 and 30023 — searches that filter to other kinds will return nothing even if matching content exists in the DB.
