Decoder Err !

[giveerr]

i have some code that uses multileveldown with charwise. when i try to keyStream in parent of db ( have created with subleveldown ) that cause err like this

events.js:298 throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event ^ Error [EncodingError]: no decoder for:"!users!!base!1"

i want to handle the main data in the parent db not the subdb's is there any way to do it ?

I suppose you could do db.createKeyStream({ keyEncoding: 'utf8' }) and then parse the keys yourself: strip subleveldown's prefixes and do charwise.decode(key).

@vweevers
that works but actualy i think its not the best way because it will read all of it and send to client . is there another way to do this ??

It's hard to see what you want to achieve and why. If you're using sublevels and one of the sublevels has a special encoding, then you'll want to access the data via that sublevel. If that's not possible then I would ask, is using a sublevel the right choice?
