obstinate

A simple reference based interface for easy watching and saving of Javascript objects

How to install

npm install obstinate

How to use

Usage right now is fairly simple. If control over the resultant watch object is not required, it can be set up as follows by passing a reference to the object you wish to persist.

var obstinate = require('obstinate'),
	obj = {};

obstinate('obj', obj).start();

All changes to the object will (hopefully) be persisted. If control over the watch object is needed, simply assign a var to the return value of the obstinate function as such.

var	obj = {},
	objControl = obstinate('obj', obj);

// Start watching the object
objControl.start();

// Stop watching the object
objControl.stop();

// Remove the object completely
objControl.remove();

// Manually call save
objControl.save();

Additionally a third options argument can be passed to the obstinate in order to change some of the default parameters.

var	obj = {},
	options = {
		// The folder in which to save the files
		filepath : 'data/',
		// The delay between each check of the object in ms
		delay : 200
	},
	objControl = obstinate('obj', obj, options);
