NDK

Appearance

Dexie Cache ​

Meant to be used client-side within a browser context. This is a cache adapter for Dexie, a wrapper around IndexedDB.

Usage ​

NDK will attempt to use the Dexie adapter to store users, events, and tags. The default behaviour is to always check the cache first and then hit relays, replacing older cached events as needed.

Support ​

  • [x] Events
  • [x] User profiles
  • [x] Event<>Tag indexes
  • [x] NIP-05 lookups
  • [x] Unpublished events

Install ​

pnpm add @nostr-dev-kit/ndk-cache-dexie

Add as a cache adapter ​

ts
import NDKCacheAdapterDexie from "@nostr-dev-kit/ndk-cache-dexie";

const dexieAdapter = new NDKCacheAdapterDexie({ dbName: 'your-db-name' });
const ndk = new NDK({cacheAdapter: dexieAdapter, ...other config options});

🚨 Because Dexie only exists client-side, this cache adapter will not work in pure node.js environments. You'll need to make sure that you're using the right cache adapter in the right place (e.g. Redis on the backend, Dexie on the frontend).

Slowness ​

Because IndexDB is painfully slow, this adapter will primarly act via an LRU cache that periodically flushes to the database. Individual read/writes don't directly hit the database.
