Development

Inspect and debug values during development.

• solidb.debug(data) -> string
  Pretty-prints any value with formatting. Also logs to server tracing.
• solidb.inspect(value) -> table
  Returns detailed type info: { type, length?, value?, count?, is_array?, keys? }
• solidb.dump(value) -> string
  Returns JSON-like string representation of any value.

Measure and optimize performance.

• solidb.profile(fn, args?) -> table
  Executes function and returns: { result, duration_ms, duration_us }
• solidb.benchmark(fn, iterations?) -> table
  Runs function N times (default: 100). Returns: { iterations, total_ms, avg_ms, min_ms, max_ms, std_dev_ms }

Assertions and mocking for unit tests.

• solidb.assert(condition, message?) -> true
• solidb.assert_eq(a, b, message?) -> true
• solidb.mock(name, initial_data?) -> mock
  Creates a mock collection for testing without touching real data.
  
  Mock methods:

  • mock:get(key) - Get document by key
  • mock:insert(doc) - Insert document (auto-generates _key)
  • mock:update(key, updates) - Update document
  • mock:delete(key) - Delete document
  • mock:all() - Get all documents as array
  • mock:count() - Get document count
  • mock:reset() - Clear all data

SoliDB includes an interactive Lua REPL (Read-Eval-Print Loop) for testing and debugging scripts. Use the CLI or web interface.
