rdfstore-js create/load local file

Question

I'm building a small Node app that queries an local n3 triple file, and using rdfstore-js. I have everything working OK with the example that the documentation uses, but thats a remote triple store. Documentation is confusing as to what parameters to pass in to rdfstore.create() for a local file. Perhaps something like this?

    rdfstore.create(function(store) {
    store.execute('LOAD /Users/Ben/Desktop/MET/triple_SPARQL/triples.n3 text/n3 ',       function() {

    });
})

Anyone used rdfstore-js and has loaded in local files?

Thanks!

From glancing at the source code, rdfstore-js doesn't seem to support loading local files referenced in SPARQL Updates (eg: LOAD <file:///myfile.ttl> ). However, you can read the file yourself and pass the data in directly:

var rdfstore = require('rdfstore')
, fs = require('fs');

rdfstore.create(function(store){
  var rdf = fs.readFileSync('/var/foo/bar.ttl').toString();
  store.load('text/turtle', rdf, function(s,d){
    console.log(s,d);
    store.execute("SELECT * WHERE { ?s ?p ?o } LIMIT 10", function(success, results){
      console.log(success, results);
    });
  });
});
