µBase

µBase is a simple NodeJS database intended specifically for small projects, prototypes, and anything that will never end up in production. If you don't have time to install and struggle with a complicated database, this is the tool for you.

It is essentially a wrapper atop a JSON file, adding autosave/load, a basic document-esque structure, and some helpers for filtering and manipulating lists of entries.

Use this for experiments. DO NOT use it for large-scale projects.

Features:

• Local JSON file-based storage.
• Multiple tables of data.
• Automatic saving.
• Pure JSON object structure.
• Simple functions for filtering, adding, removing, updating, etc.

Simple Usage (just read the source code comments for more methods):

// Load our database.
const db = await ub("hello.json")

// Get the "messages" document listing.
const messages = db("messages")

// Find the first message with the name field value "Delete the First of Me" and remove it.
messages.filter({ name: "Delete the First of Me" }).limit(1).remove()
