Build and use RocksDB in zig.

Build Dependencies

rocksdb-zig is pinned to Zig 0.13, so you will need to have it installed.

Usage

Supported use cases:

• ⬇️ Build a RocksDB static library using the zig build system.
• ⬇️ Use the RocksDB C API through auto-generated Zig bindings.
• ⬇️ Import an idiomatic zig library of bindings that wrap the RocksDB library with hand-written zig code.

$ zig fetch --save=rocksdb https://github.com/Syndica/rocksdb-zig/archive/<COMMIT_HASH>.tar.gz

Add the import to a module:

const rocksdb = b.dependency("rocksdb", .{}).module("rocksdb");
exe.root_module.addImport("rocksdb", rocksdb);

Import the rocksdb module.

const rocksdb = @import("rocksdb");
