3. Usage

After the successful installation from the previous section, head on to your app file and enter the following code:

const {database} = require('custom-datastore')
database()

Then head on to the terminal and proceed to the usage below. Note that if there is space inbetween the value of the flag, you will need to wrap it in quote. Wrapping in single quote will fail on windows, but not on linux or OSX. So ensure you wrap with double quote when using windows. Using any of the command in each section below will work. Ensure you change <appFile> in the commands to the name of your app file.
