Ruvector NPM Packages - Publishing Status
Date: November 21, 2025 Version: 0.1.1
📦 Package Status Summary
✅ Ready for Publishing
1. ruvector (Main Package)
- Status: ✅ Ready to publish
- Version: 0.1.1
- Size: 44.1 kB unpacked (12.1 kB packed)
- Contents:
- TypeScript compiled JavaScript + type definitions
- CLI tool (
bin/cli.js) with 6 commands - API documentation and examples
- Platform detection with fallback logic
- Dependencies: commander, chalk, ora
- Publishing command:
cd /workspaces/ruvector/npm/packages/ruvector && npm publish
2. Rust Crates (Published to crates.io)
- ✅
ruvector-corev0.1.1 - ✅
ruvector-nodev0.1.1 - ✅
ruvector-wasmv0.1.1 - ✅
ruvector-cliv0.1.1
🚧 Work in Progress
3. @ruvector/core (Native NAPI Bindings)
- Status: ⚠️ Needs packaging work
- Build Status: Native module built for linux-x64 (4.3 MB)
- Location:
/workspaces/ruvector/npm/core/native/linux-x64/ruvector.node - Issues:
- Package structure needs completion
- TypeScript loader needs native module integration
- Multi-platform binaries not yet built
- Next Steps:
- Copy native module to proper location
- Build TypeScript with proper exports
- Test loading
- Publish platform-specific packages
4. @ruvector/wasm (WebAssembly Fallback)
- Status: ❌ Blocked by architecture
- Issue: Core dependencies (
redb,mmap-rs) don't support WASM - Root Cause: These crates require platform-specific file system and memory mapping
- Solutions:
- Short-term: In-memory only WASM build
- Medium-term: Optional dependencies with feature flags
- Long-term: IndexedDB storage backend for browsers
🎯 Publishing Strategy
Phase 1: Immediate (Current)
Publish: ruvector v0.1.1
- Main package with TypeScript types and CLI
- Works as standalone tool
- Documents that native bindings are optional
Install:
npm install ruvector
Features:
- ✅ Full TypeScript API definitions
- ✅ Complete CLI with 6 commands
- ✅ Platform detection logic
- ✅ Documentation and examples
- ⚠️ Requires native module for actual vector operations
- ⚠️ Will throw helpful error if native module unavailable
Phase 2: Native Bindings (Next)
Publish: @ruvector/core with platform packages
@ruvector/core-linux-x64-gnu@ruvector/core-darwin-x64@ruvector/core-darwin-arm64@ruvector/core-win32-x64-msvc
Requirements:
- Build native modules on each platform (GitHub Actions CI/CD)
- Package each as separate npm package
- Main
@ruvector/corewith optionalDependencies
Phase 3: WASM Support (Future)
Publish: @ruvector/wasm
- Browser-compatible WASM build
- IndexedDB persistence
- Fallback for unsupported platforms
📊 Test Results
Main Package (ruvector)
- ✅ TypeScript compilation successful
- ✅ Package structure validated
- ✅ CLI commands present
- ✅ Dependencies resolved
- ⏳ Integration tests pending (need native module)
Native Module
- ✅ Builds successfully on linux-x64
- ✅ Module loads and exports API
- ✅ Basic operations work (create, insert, search)
- ⏳ Multi-platform builds pending
WASM Module
- ❌ Build blocked by platform dependencies
- 📋 Architectural changes needed

🐛 Known Issues
-
Native Module Packaging
- Issue: @ruvector/core needs proper platform detection
- Impact: Users can't install native bindings yet
- Workaround: Use Rust crate directly (
ruvector-node) - Timeline: Phase 2
-
WASM Build Failure
- Issue: Core dependencies not WASM-compatible
- Impact: No browser support yet
- Workaround: None currently
- Timeline: Phase 3
-
Multi-Platform Builds
- Issue: Only linux-x64 built locally
- Impact: macOS and Windows users can't use native bindings
- Workaround: CI/CD pipeline needed
- Timeline: Phase 2
