Querying Stored Data
fn ws_get_db(key_ptr: *const u8, key_size: i32, return_ptr: *const *mut u8, return_size: *const i32) -> i32;
Notice: W3bstream Alpha release only includes a storage interface implementation in the form of a simple key-value database. Later releases of W3bstream will provide further storage options, both centralized and decentralized.
A W3bstream applet can read an object from the key-value host storage using the
ws_get_db W3bstream function. As any other W3bstream exported functions, it must be imported before it can be used in an applet:Go
Rust
// go:wasm-module env
// export ws_set_db
func _ws_get_db(key_ptr, key_size, value_ptr, value_size uint32) int32
#[link(wasm_import_module = "env")]
extern "C" {
fn ws_get_db(
key_ptr: *const u8,
key_size: i32,
return_ptr: *const *mut u8,
return_size: *const i32,
) -> i32;
}
The example below shows how you can read a string from the key/value storage:
Rust
#[link(wasm_import_module = "env")]
extern "C" {
fn ws_set_db(key_ptr: *const u8, key_size: i32, value_ptr: *const u8, value_size: i32) -> i32;
}
#[no_mangle]
// This handler will be matched by the default Project event strategy in W3bstream
pub extern "C" fn start(event_id: i32) -> i32 {
// Storing some strings in the key/value storage
let first_name = get_db("first_name");
let last_name = get_db("last_name");
let age = get_db("age");
return 0;
}
pub fn get_db(key: &String) -> Option<String> {
let data_ptr = &mut (0 as i32) as *const _ as *const *mut u8;
let data_size = &(0 as i32);
match unsafe { ws_get_db(key.as_ptr(), key.len() as _, data_ptr, data_size) } {
0 => Some(unsafe { String::from_raw_parts(*data_ptr, *data_size as _, *data_size as _) }),
_ => None,
}
}
