Lightbase

This is a simple JavaScript module that acts as a basic database for storing, retrieving, and accessing text values. It utilizes the Node filesystem to interact with the file system and store the data in a text file.

Installation

This module requires Node.js to run. To install the necessary dependencies, use the following command:

npm install lightbase

Usage

To use this module, follow the steps below:

1. Import the module in your JavaScript file:

   const db = require('lightbase');

2. Available Methods:

   • db.store(key, value): Stores the provided key and value pair in the database. If the key already exists, it will update the existing value.

   • db.get(key): Retrieves the value associated with the provided key from the database. If the key is not found, it will return undefined.

   • db.update(key, value): Updates the value associated with the provided key in the database. If the key does not exist, it will do nothing.

   • db.remove(key): Removes the entry with the provided key from the database. If the key is not found, it will do nothing.

   • db.clear(): Clears the entire database, removing all entries.

3. Examples:

   // Store a value in the database
   db.store('name', 'John Doe');
   
   // Retrieve a value from the database
   const name = db.get('name');
   console.log(name); // Output: John Doe
   
   // Update a value in the database
   db.update('name', 'Jane Smith');
   
   // Remove a value from the database
   db.remove('name');
   
   // Clear the entire database
   db.clear();

File Structure

The module manages the data internally using the "lightbase" package. You don't need to create or manage a separate data file.
