Veramo Key Value store

A simple typed Key Value store with out of the box support for in memory/maps, sqlite and typeorm implementations for usage in browser, NodeJS and React-Native. It includes a tiered local/remote implementation that support all environments.

Usage in your application or module

setup

Veramo provides 3 store adapters out of the box. The first is an in memory Map based store, the second is a TypeORM based store, meaning we support multiple databases. Lastly there is a tiered store, which allows you to use a local and remote store together.

You should also be able to use store adapters from the keyv project. Be aware that Veramo uses an internal fork of that project, as we have several constraints not present in the upstream project. As a result the adapters are not guaranteed to work in your environment. See Keyv project relationship for more information.

Map based in memory store

This is the simplest implementation where a Map is being used to store the Keys and Values

import { IKeyValueStore, IKeyValueStoreOptions, KeyValueStore } from '@veramo/key-value-store'

const options: IKeyValueStoreOptions<MyValueType> = {
  namespace: 'example',
  store: new Map<string, MyValueType>(),
}
const kvStore: IKeyValueStore<MyValueType> = new KeyValueStore({ options })

TypeORM store

This implementation uses TypeORM using a simple entity to store the namespace prefixed key, an expiration value and the value itself. It supports multiple database backends.

import { IKeyValueStore, IKeyValueStoreOptions, KeyValueStore, KeyValueStoreEntity, KeyValueTypeORMStoreAdapter } from '@veramo/key-value-store'
import { DataSource } from 'typeorm'

const dbConnection: DataSource = await new DataSource({
  type: 'sqlite',
  database: ':memory:',
  logging: 'all',
  migrationsRun: true,
  synchronize: false,
  entities: [KeyValueStoreEntity],
}).initialize()

const options: IKeyValueStoreOptions<MyValueType> = {
  namespace: 'example',
  store: new KeyValueTypeORMStoreAdapter({ dbConnection }),
}
const kvStore: IKeyValueStore<MyValueType> = new KeyValueStore({ options })

Tiered store

The tiered store expects a local store and a remote store. Obviously it makes most sense to have a memory based local store and potentially more expensive/slower remote store

import {
  kvStoreMigrations,
  IKeyValueStore,
  IKeyValueStoreOptions,
  KeyValueStore,
  KeyValueStoreEntity,
  KeyValueTieredStoreAdapter,
  KeyValueTypeORMStoreAdapter,
} from '@veramo/key-value-store'
import { DataSource } from 'typeorm'

dbConnection = await new DataSource({
  type: 'sqlite',
  database: ':memory:',
  logging: 'all',
  migrationsRun: true,
  synchronize: false,
  migrations: [...kvStoreMigrations],
  entities: [KeyValueStoreEntity],
}).initialize()

const local: Map<string, MyValueType> = new Map()
const remote = new KeyValueTypeORMStoreAdapter({ dbConnection })

const options: IKeyValueStoreOptions<MyValueType> = {
  namespace: 'example',
  store: new KeyValueTieredStoreAdapter({ local, remote }),
}
const kvStore: IKeyValueStore<MyValueType> = new KeyValueStore<MyValueType>({ options })

Usage

After you have setup the Key Value Store as described above in your agent, it will be available in your agent.

kvStore.set('hello', { example: world }) // Stores the value object by key untill deleted
kvStore.set('expiring', { example: 'expiration' }, 1000) // Stores the value object by key for 1 second
const value = await kvStore.get('hello') // { example: world }
const values = await kvStore.getMany(['hello', 'expiring']) // [{ example: world }, {example: expiring}]

if (await kvStore.has('hello')) {
  await kvStore.delete('hello') // return a boolean for success. You can also call it on non existing keys, which will return false
}

await kvStore.clear() // Removes all keys/values from the store
kvStore.disconnect() // disconnects the store from it backing adapter. You cannot reuse the store afterwards unlesss you initialize a new store.

Keyv project relationship

Please note that a large portion of the Veramo Key Value Store code is a port of the keyv project, adding support for Typescript and ESM, so it can be used Veramo

The ported code should support the storage plugins available for the keyv project, although testing has been limited Veramo itself has a requirement to support NodeJS, Browser and React-Native environments. The port and the store adapters included in Veramo run in these environments. Please be aware that these requirements probably aren't true for any keyv storage plugins.

One of the big changes compared to the upstream project is that this port does not have dynamic loading of adapters based on URIs. We believe that any Veramo Key Value store should use explicit defined adapters.
