Use this package to avoid having to explicitly install `memdown` when you want to use `memdown` with `levelup` for non-persistent `levelup` data storage.

```js
const level = require('level-mem')

// 1) Create our database, with optional options.
//    This will create or open the underlying LevelDB store.
const db = level()

// 2) Put a key & value
db.put('name', 'Level', function (err) {
  if (err) return console.log('Ooops!', err) // some kind of I/O error

  // 3) Fetch by key
  db.get('name', function (err, value) {
    if (err) return console.log('Ooops!', err) // likely the key was not found

    // Ta da!
    console.log('name=' + value)
  })
})
```
