naivedb

Install

npm install naivedb --save

Minimum viable database

It would be hard to make something that did less.

Create your database

Yep, those 2 squiggly brackets are your whole database, deal with it.

echo '{}' > /tmp/database.json

Usage

$ node
> var naivedb = require('naivedb');
undefined
> var db = naivedb('/tmp/database.json');
undefined
> db.set( 'foo', 'bar' );
undefined
> db.get( 'foo' );
'bar'
> db.del( 'foo' );
undefined
> db.get( 'foo' );
undefined

... pretty mind-blowing stuff huh?

Streaming writes

Streams are max radical to the power of sick, you probably still use callbacks, deal with it.

var request = require('request'),
    naivedb = require('naivedb'),
    through = require('through2');
 
request
  .get( 'https://graph.facebook.com/yournamehere' )
  .pipe( through.obj( function( chunk, enc, next ){
    this.push( JSON.parse( chunk.toString('utf8') ) );
    next();
  }))
  .pipe( naivedb('/tmp/res.json').createWriteStream() )

Options

var naivedb = require('naivedb');
var db = naivedb('/tmp/database.json', { safeMode: true, pretty: true } );

Pass in the path to your db, if it doesnt exist you will get a fatal error, that's the computers way of telling you that you should have read the manual.

safeMode - this defaults to true, if you set it to false then the db will not write to disk when the process exits, i'm not sure why you would want this turned off.

pretty - again; this defaults to true, if you set it to false then the json is un-readable and you should probably be using a better database.
