ydn-db: how to make any query more complex than getting a single record by id? - ydn-db

Question

Using the packaged ydn-db library from here: http://git.yathit.com/ydn-db/downloads/ydn.db-jquery-0.7.12.js . Same happens with https://storage.cloud.google.com/download.yathit.com/ydn-db/build/zsk-ydn.db-dev-0.7.15.js .
var db = new ydn.db.Storage("mydb");
var clog = function(r) { console.log(r); }
db.put({name: "store1", keyPath: "id"}, {id: "id1", value: "value1"});
db.put({name: "store1", keyPath: "id"}, {id: "id2", value: "value2"});
db.get("store1", "id1").done(clog); // works fine
// Example as mentioned in the docs here: http://dev.yathit.com/ydn-db/getting-started.html
var reverse = false, limit = 10;
db.values(new ydn.db.Cursors("store1", "id", null, reverse), limit).done(clog)
// TypeError: Cannot call method 'getName' of null
// Also adapted from docs:
db.values(ydn.db.IndexValueCursors.where("store1", "id", "=", "id1")).done(clog)
// TypeError: Cannot call method 'getName' of null
// Also adapted from docs:
var iter = new ydn.db.ValueCursors("store1", ydn.db.KeyRange.starts("a"))
db.open(iter, clog, "readwrite")
// ydn.error.ArgumentException: Second argument must be cursor range iterator.
The functionality of the packaged library just doesn't seem to align with the docs. Any tips?

Actually, your schema don't have index name id, so the correct code should be as follow.
var db = new ydn.db.Storage("mydb");
var clog = function(r) { console.log(r); }
db.put({name: "store1", keyPath: "id"}, {id: "id1", value: "value1"});
db.put({name: "store1", keyPath: "id"}, {id: "id2", value: "value2"});
db.get("store1", "id1").done(clog); // works fine
// Example as mentioned in the docs here: http://dev.yathit.com/ydn-db/getting-started.html
var reverse = false, limit = 10;
db.values(new ydn.db.KeyCursors("store1", null, reverse), limit).done(clog)
// TypeError: Cannot call method 'getName' of null
// Also adapted from docs:
db.values(ydn.db.ValueCursors.where("store1", "=", "id1")).done(clog)
// TypeError: Cannot call method 'getName' of null
// Also adapted from docs:
var iter = new ydn.db.ValueCursors("store1", ydn.db.KeyRange.starts("i"))
var pnt = function(r) {console.log(r.getValue())}
db.open(pnt, iter, "readwrite")
Error message is definitely not informative. I push a patch, so next time, it gives index not found error.
There is api changes in open method, as well. Documentation need to be update.
Edit: more complex query can be found in http://dev.yathit.com/ydn-db/nosql-query.html

Ok, finally got it from the link in the previous answer:
// Equivalent to: SELECT * FROM store1 where value = 'value1':
var keyRange = ydn.db.KeyRange.only("value1");
var cursor = new ydn.db.IndexValueCursors("store1", "value", keyRange);
db.get(cursor, keyRange).then(function(record) {
console.log("record:", record);
}, function(err) {
throw err;
});
