⚡ FUSE - Fast Unified Storage Engine

FUSE is a modular, high-performance database interface designed for simplicity, flexibility, and speed. It acts as a unified abstraction layer over a variety of storage drivers-from in-memory to file-based to full SQL/NoSQL backends-so your code stays consistent regardless of where your data lives.

⚠️ Warning: FUSE is currently in testing phase (Here be dragons)

✨ Key Features

• Universal API - A single interface for all your storage needs (JSON, SQLite, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, LocalStorage, and more).
• Driver-based - Plug-and-play drivers let you easily swap storage backends without changing your code.
• Middleware Support - Intercept, modify, or enhance data operations with powerful before/after hooks (e.g., encryption, logging, caching).
• Lightweight & Fast - Minimal overhead with performance-first design.

• Typed with JSDoc - Clean code with full TypeScript support and auto-complete in editors.

🔧 Example Usage

const FUSE = require("@fusedb/core");
const JSONDriver = require("@fusedb/json");
const Crypto = require("@fusedb/crypto");

const db = new FUSE({
  driver: new JSONDriver({ path: './data/database.json' }),
  middleware: [
    new Crypto({ key: process.env.DB_KEY })
  ]
});

(async () => {
  await db.set("user:123", { name: "Alice" });
  const user = await db.get("user:123");
  console.log(user); // { name: "Alice" }
})();

Got it! Here's the updated Contributing section with that naming guidance included:

🤝 Contributing

FUSE is built to be modular and community-driven - we welcome contributions of all kinds!

Want to add a new driver (e.g. Redis, MySQL, IndexedDB) or create powerful middleware (like compression, caching, analytics)? You're in the right place.

🧩 What You Can Build

• Storage Drivers - Support any backend (SQL, NoSQL, file, browser, etc.)
• Middleware Modules - Add features like encryption, validation, logging, caching, and more.
• Enhancements - Bug fixes, performance tweaks, documentation, or new ideas.
• Examples & Integrations - Show off how you're using FUSE in real-world apps.

🛠️ Getting Started

1. Fork this repository.

2. Clone your fork:

   git clone https://github.com/Fast-Unified-Storage-Engine/FUSE.git
   cd FUSE

3. Install dependencies:

   npm install

4. Build your custom driver/middleware in a new folder or standalone repo.

5. Submit a Pull Request - or publish your own package!

📦 Publishing Drivers & Middleware

To keep the ecosystem consistent and easy to discover, we recommend one of these naming formats:

• Official FUSE packages (preferred):

  • @fusedb/<name> Examples: @fusedb/json, @fusedb/crypto, @fusedb/sqlite

• Community/Standalone packages (if not under @fusedb):

  • fusedb-<name> Example: fusedb-redis
  • @your-org/fusedb-<name> Example: @acmeorg/fusedb-indexeddb

You don't need to be part of the official org to contribute - just follow the naming pattern so others can find and use your work easily.

🙏 Thank You

Every contribution matters - whether it’s fixing bugs, improving docs, or building new modules. FUSE is a community effort, and your creativity helps push it forward.

Have questions or want to share ideas? Open an issue or start a discussion.

FUSE makes database logic portable, powerful, and fun to work with. No more rewriting logic per driver. Just plug in and go.

Fast. Unified. Extensible. FUSE.
