0db's Introduction

🚧 Work in progress...

⭕ 0db

NPM version

Simple JSON file based database with easy querying interface and common utilities.

For whatever reason, If you don't want to use a real database, and instead simply use a file. but also want some query and utility functions of a database. this is 0db 😁.

👇 Glimpse example :

db("users").create({ name: "kenza", email: "[email protected]" });
db("users").read({ name: "kenza" });
db("users").update({ name: "kenza" }, { email: "[email protected]" });
db("users").delete({ name: "kenza" });

0db is constituted of four (create, read, update, and delete) methods that represents the CRUD operations and three (or less) parameters (item, query, and options) considerably (more or less) recurring in the four methods.

📥 Installation

npm i 0db

🏁 Getting Started

👇 Learn by a simple common example :

// Require library
const $0db = require("0db");

// Initialize database
// 💡 By default, A "db.json" file will be created in root directory
const db = await $0db();

// Create a new item within a collection named "users"
// 💡 If the collection doesn't exist it will be created automatically
// 💡 With the utility option "encrypt", the "password" field
//    will be saved as an encrypted hash string instead of the original
const createdUser = await db("users").create(
  {
    name: "kenza",
    email: "[email protected]",
    password: "secret123",
  },
  {
    encrypt: "password",
  }
);

// Read all items from "users" collection where "name" is "kenza"
// 💡 The "omit" option hides the "password" and "email"
//    fields in the returned results
const users = await db("users").read(
  { name: "kenza" },
  {
    omit: ["password", "email"],
  }
);

// Update all "users" items where "name" is "kenza"
// with new values for "email" and "password"
const updatedUser = await db("users").update(
  { name: "kenza" },
  {
    email: "[email protected]",
    password: "NEW_SECRET_123456789",
  }
);

// Delete all "users" items where "email" is "[email protected]"
const deletedUser = await db("users").update({ email: "[email protected]" });

💡 A JSON file named db.json (by default) is created in the root directory. This is an example of its content :

{
  "users": [
    {
      "name": "kenza",
      "email": "[email protected]",
      "$id": "8c8f128e-4905-4e77-b664-e03f6de5e952",
      "$createdAt": "2021-09-05T21:40:27Z"
    },
    {
      "name": "ambratolm",
      "email": "[email protected]",
      "$id": "5211133c-a183-4c99-90ab-f857adf5442a",
      "$createdAt": "2002-11-01T22:12:55Z",
      "$updatedAt": "2021-10-02T00:00:00Z"
    }
  ]
}

💡 Note that the $id and $createdAt fields are created automatically when an item is created, and $updatedAt when it is updated.

🚩 Initialize

// Initialize with a "db.json" file in the root directory
const db = await fsdb();

// Initialize with a custom named JSON file in the root directory
const db = await fsdb("my-database-file.json");

// Initialize with a custom named JSON file in the current directory
const db = await fsdb(__dirname + "/my-database-file");

🔎 Query

Query parameter in Read, Update, and Delete methods is an object or function that allows targeting specific items in collection.

  • Query object :
{
  fieldName: fieldValue,
  fieldName: fieldValue,
  ...etc
}

Query object is an object of property values to match against collection items.
A comparison is performed between every item object property values in collection and the query object property values to determine if an item object contains equivalences.
The items containing the equivalences are returned.

Example:

const queryObj = {
  firstName: "kenza",
  age: 20,
  rating: 5
};

const users = await db("users").read(queryObj);
  • Query function :
(item, index?, collection?) => [Boolean]

Query function is a predicate called for every item when iterating over items of collection.
All items predicate returns truthy for are returned.
The predicate is invoked with three arguments :

  • value : Required. The value of the current item.
  • index : Optional. The index of the current item in collection.
  • collection : Optional. The collection array-object the current item belongs to.

Example:

const queryFn = (user) => {
  return user.name.startsWith("k") && user.age >= 20 && rating >= 5;
};

const users = await db("users").read(queryFn);

☑️ Options

{
  optionName: optionValue,
  optionName: optionValue,
  ...etc
}

Options parameter in all methods is an object that allows to apply additional stuff to the method's subject item or to the method's returned items result.
Every method can have specific options or common options depending on the context of the method.

Example :

const options = {
  unique: ["name", "email"],
  encrypt: "password",
  omit: ["email", "password"],
  nocase: true
};

const user = {
  name: "moulay-elhassan",
  email: "[email protected]",
  password: "secret#hasson?1980"
}

const createdUser = await db("users").create(user, options);

💠 CREATE

await db(collectionName).create(item?, options?);

Creates a new item in a collection.
💡 If the specified collection doesn't exist it will be created automatically.
💡 If no item object is specified (omitted, null, or undefined), an empty item is created with no fields except the system fields (with names starting with $ sign).
💡 The created item is returned.

Parameter Type Default Description
collectionName String Targeted collection name
item Object {} Item to create
options Object {} CREATE options
@returns Object The created item
@throws Error If a unique field value is already used
@throws Error If a value to encrypt is not a string

☑️ CREATE Options

Property Type Default Description
unique String or String[] "" Fields to declare as unique
encrypt String or String[] "" Fields to encrypt
pick String or String[] "" Fields to pick in returned items
omit String or String[] "" Fields to omit in returned items
nocase Boolean false If true ignores case in search

💡 When fields are declared as unique, a checking for duplicates is done before adding the item.

💡 If nocase is true, letter case comparison will be ignored in search operations, like for example checking unique values.

🎯 CREATE Examples

// Create an item within a collection named "players" (automatically created)
// The created item is returned
const createdPlayer = await db("players").create({
  name: "ambratolm",
  level: 99,
  inventory: ["sword", "shield", "potion"],
});

// Create an item within a collection named "players" with some options
const createdPlayer = await db("players").create(
  {
    name: "ambratolm",
    level: 99,
    inventory: ["sword", "shield", "potion"],
    password: "this_is_a_secret",
  },
  {
    // Options
    unique: "name", // Make "name" field unique
    encrypt: "password", // Encrypt "password" field
    omit: ["password", "level"], // Omit fields in the returned item object
    nocase: true, // Ignore case when comparing strings
  }
);

💠 READ

await db(collectionName).read(query?, options?);

💡 If no query is specified (omitted, null, or undefined), the query defaults to empty query {} which returns all items.
💡 The read items are returned.

Parameter Type Default Description
collectionName String Targeted collection name
query Object {} Query object or function
options Object {} READ options
@returns Array The read item
@throws Error If an encrypted field not matched
