Node FlatFileDB

Node FlatFileDB is a simple Node.js module for a flat-file database. It uses JSON files to store data and provides basic CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations.

Installation

To install the package, use the following command:

npm install node-flat-file-db

Usage

Importing and Initializing

First, require the module and initialize it with the path to the database file.

const FlatFileDB = require('node-flat-file-db');
const path = require('path');
const db = new FlatFileDB(path.join(__dirname, 'database.json'));

Creating a Record

To create a new record, use the create method with an ID and the record data.

db.create('1', { name: 'Alice', age: 30 });
console.log('Record created:', db.read('1'));

Reading a Record

To read a record, use the read method with the record ID.

const record = db.read('1');
console.log('Record read:', record);

Updating a Record

To update an existing record, use the update method with the record ID and the new data.

db.update('1', { name: 'Alice', age: 31 });
console.log('Record updated:', db.read('1'));

Deleting a Record

To delete a record, use the delete method with the record ID.

db.delete('1');
console.log('Record deleted:', db.read('1'));

Getting All Records

To get all records, use the getAll method.

const allRecords = db.getAll();
console.log('All records:', allRecords);

Example

Here's a full example of how to use Node FlatFileDB:

const FlatFileDB = require('node-flat-file-db');
const path = require('path');
const db = new FlatFileDB(path.join(__dirname, 'database.json'));

try {
  // Create a new record
  db.create('1', { name: 'Alice', age: 30 });
  console.log('Record created:', db.read('1'));

  // Update the record
  db.update('1', { name: 'Alice', age: 31 });
  console.log('Record updated:', db.read('1'));

  // Read all records
  console.log('All records:', db.getAll());

  // Delete the record
  db.delete('1');
  console.log('Record deleted:', db.read('1'));
} catch (error) {
  console.error(error.message);
}
