Data Node Manager

A TypeScript library for managing linked data nodes with file system persistence. This library provides a flexible system for creating, managing, and linking data nodes with both local and reference-based content.

Installation

npm install data-node-manager

Features

• Create and manage linked data nodes
• File system persistence
• Support for local and reference data types
• Hierarchical node structure with next/child relationships
• TypeScript support with full type definitions

Usage

Basic Node Operations

import {
  DataNodeManager,
  DataNodeValueLocal,
  FileDataStore,
} from "data-node-manager";
// Initialize the manager
const store = new FileDataStore("./data");
const manager = new DataNodeManager({
  baseUrl: "https://example.com",
  store,
});
// Create a node
const node = await manager.create({
  data: new DataNodeValueLocal("Hello, world!"),
  createdAt: new Date(),
  baseUrl: "https://example.com",
  uuid: "123",
});
// Read a node
const retrieved = await manager.read("123");
// Update a node
node.data = new DataNodeValueLocal("Updated content");
await manager.update(node);
// Delete a node
await manager.delete("123");

Working with Node Relationships

// Add a node as next
const parent = await manager.create({
  data: new DataNodeValueLocal("Parent"),
  createdAt: new Date(),
  baseUrl: "https://example.com",
  uuid: "parent",
});
const child = await manager.add(
  {
    data: new DataNodeValueLocal("Child"),
    createdAt: new Date(),
    baseUrl: "https://example.com",
    uuid: "child",
  },
  parent.uuid
);
// Add a node as child
const subChild = await manager.add(
  {
    data: new DataNodeValueLocal("SubChild"),
    createdAt: new Date(),
    baseUrl: "https://example.com",
    uuid: "subchild",
  },
  child.uuid,
  true // true for adding as child
);

API Reference

DataNodeManager

The main class for managing data nodes.

Constructor

constructor(options: { baseUrl: string; store: DataStore })

Methods

• create(options: DataNodeOptions): Promise<DataNode> Creates a new node with the given options.

• read(uuid: string): Promise<DataNode> Reads a node by its UUID.

• update(node: DataNode): Promise<void> Updates an existing node.

• delete(uuid: string): Promise<void> Deletes a node by its UUID.

• add(options: DataNodeOptions, parentUuid: string, asChild?: boolean): Promise<DataNode> Adds a new node as next or child of the parent node.

• moveUp(uuid: string, parentUuid: string): Promise<void> Moves a node up in the hierarchy.

• indent(uuid: string, parentUuid: string): Promise<void> Indents a node under a parent.

• unIndent(uuid: string, parentUuid: string): Promise<void> Unindents a node from its parent.

DataNode

Represents a single data node in the system.

Properties

• data: DataNodeValue
• createdAt: Date
• baseUrl: string
• uuid: string
• next?: string | null
• child?: string | null

DataNodeValue

The value stored in a node, can be either:

• DataNodeValueLocal<T>: For storing local data
• DataNodeValueReference: For storing references to other resources
