Loading single struct field

[nuuvil]

I am writing a chat small chat program and want to load the members of a room without getting other data.

struct Room {
    name: String,
    owner: String,
    members: Vec<String>,
}

Can I save it in one value were I do something like keyspace.get("key").field("members"), or do I have to split it into multiple keys?

When you serialize a struct, it's just a blob of bytes, the storage engine doesn't understand it.
You'll need to separate your entities, and design key prefixes to sort them:

r#{room_id} => ROOM_DATA
m#{room_id}#{member_id} => MEMBER_DATA

(# being the NULL terminator).

Then you get the room (without members) using db.get("r#room25") and the members using db.prefix("m#room25#")
