LioranManager (driver)

@liorandb/driver exports a LioranManager class that intentionally mirrors the common @liorandb/core entrypoint shape, but talks to a remote server over HTTP.

This is useful when you want the familiar:

manager → db → collection

workflow, but your data lives behind a running @liorandb/db server.

Constructor​

import { LioranManager } from "@liorandb/driver";

const manager = new LioranManager("lioran://admin:admin@localhost:4000");

You can pass either:

  • a URI string, or
  • { uri: string }

Connect​

LioranManager extends LioranClient, so connection/auth behavior is the same:

await manager.connect();

Note: db() is async in the driver (it validates auth before returning a wrapper), so prefer:

const db = await manager.db("default");

Close​

For the driver, close() / closeAll() are kept for API compatibility and are no-ops (the driver does not hold file handles like the embedded engine).

Core-like aliases​

The driver also exports:

  • LioranDB as an alias for the remote DB wrapper
  • LioranCollection as an alias for the remote Collection wrapper

These aliases help shared code compile when you swap between embedded and remote implementations.
