Is DATABASE_NAME required?

[imsky]

The README (https://github.com/umaar/export-github-stars#to-run) implies that the DATABASE_NAME env var must be set, but I don't see its value reflected anywhere in the generated database.

You can search the code for the term and see the places where the key appears.

• https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Aumaar%2Fexport-github-stars%20DATABASE_NAME&type=code

This gives me

export-github-stars/old/analyse-stars.js

Line 11 in 31ed55d

const database = level(process.env.DATABASE_NAME, {valueEncoding: 'json'});

and

export-github-stars/old/backup-stars.js

Line 6 in 31ed55d

const database = level(process.env.DATABASE_NAME, {valueEncoding: 'json'});

as locations where it appears.

Since no alternative or default is provided, it seems the value is mandatory.

As per https://github.com/Level/level?tab=readme-ov-file#db--new-levellocation-options this location parameter of the Level() function is used to determine the directory path where the database will be stored.

Does this mirror your observations?

How did you investigate your LevelDB for the searched term?
