Salvis

A Node Module for saving and loading data.

Installation

npm install salvis

Storage

Storage is what is considered as the Data Base it will be what you use to storage data inside.

const Salvis = require("salvis");

const storage = new Salvis("player_data");

// const storage = new Salvis("player_data", { path: "./src/storage/players" /* Default ./.data/storage_id */, autosave: false /* Default true */, autoload: false /* Default true */, prettify: true /* Default false */ });

The storage variable is what is used to create boxes inside that then you can store data with.

Storage Options

• Path (Default "./.data/storage_id") Changes the path at which the files are stored.

• Autosave (Default "true") Saves to the files whenever a modification is made to a box.

• Autoload (Default "true") Runs storage.load(); at the initiation of the class Salvis.

• Prettify (Default "false") Changes the way the files are stored from one liner JSON to a pretty version of a more readable JSON (Takes more storage space).

Boxes

Boxes are the components that you use to save data for example coins in a game.

//...
const coins = storage.box("coins", 0 /* Default value */);
const stamina = storage.box("stamina", 100 /* Default value */);
const rank = storage.box("rank", "guest");

Boxes have alot of functionalities which are the main data storage.

//...
coins.setup("subie") // coins.set("subie", 0 /* Default value */);
const user = coins.get("subie");

if (coins.has("John")) console.log("We have John");

coins.delete("John"); // We don't like John

coins.set("hacker", 128390128390);

const users = coins.keys();
const moneys = coins.values();

Saving/Loading

Saving and loading is as simple as modifying the data.

Autosave is saving to file on every edit to the data. Autoload is loading the files at launch.

Both autosave and autoload are auto set to true so using storage.load() and storage.save() is not needed.

storage.save(); // Should be done after every modification if autosave is disabled
storage.load(); // Should be done after declaring the storage variable if autoload is disabled

Setup

You can setup a key with the default box values with the following two methods.

• Global Setup This sets up the key to every box.

//...
storage.setup("Newbie");

• Per Box Setup This sets up the key to a single box.

//...
rank.setup("Newbie");
