Dirtle
Database done right.
What?
Dirtle is a fast, in-memory, persistent JSON store for node.js with synchroneous access.
How?
Easy.
Install it.
npm i dirtle
Create the database.
echo '{}' > db.json
Use it.
var Dirtle = require('dirtle'); var path = require('path'); var db = new Dirtle(path.join(__dirname, 'db.json')).db; db.users = []; db.users.push({ name : 'hohoho' }); db.pages = { home: 'Home Page', profile: 'My Profile' };
How does it work?
When creating an instance of Dirtle
,
the Database is being loaded into memory synchroneously
from a JSON file.
It is being dumped non-blockingly to disk once every 470 milliseconds by default
and once when the application exits.
You use it just like a native Object in JavaScript. However, it has to pass through JSON.stringify or the app will crash.
API
var db = new Dirtle(path[, timeout]).db;
path
is the path to the database json text file.
timeout
is an optional timeout in ms, when the db will be persisted to disk
(default 470ms).
