GithubDB by TerenceSun

---

A lightweight GitHub database operator, let your GitHub repo like mongodb

Usage

npm install @terencesun/githubdb

import { GithubDb } from "@terence/githubdb";

async function main() {
        const githubdb = new GithubDb({
                token: "<your GitHub token, generat from https://github.com/settings/tokens>",
                owner: "<your username, like db server name>",
                repo: "<your repository to store the db's data, like database name>",    // Suggest that repo be private
                path: "<your file path in the repository to store the db's data, like table name>",
                branch: "<your repository's branch you can choose, optional, default is your default branch>"
        });
        
        // NOTE: the programe will create the branch you set if you branch is not created, and the base sha is the latest default branch commit
        // if you don't want the behavior, you should create the branch by yourself
  
        // you can use usageInfo() to get the current usage information of the API
        // more detail infomation about rate limit, visit: https://docs.github.com/en/rest/using-the-rest-api/rate-limits-for-the-rest-api?apiVersion=2022-11-28
        // we only focus on the primary rate limit, but not the secondary rate limit
        // and you should control the rate when you use this package
        const usage = await githubdb.usageInfo();
        console.log(usage);
        
        // connect to db, if the repo or path is not exist, here will create them
        await githubdb.connect();
        
        // insert operations, insertOne/insertMany
        await githubdb.insertOne({ test: 1 });
        await githubdb.insertMany([ { test: 1, test2: 2 }, { test3: 3 } ]);
        
        // delete operations, deleteOne/deleteMany
        await githubdb.deleteOne({ test: 1 });
        await githubdb.deleteMany({ test: 1 });
        
        // update operations, updateOne/updateMany, here is not the options like mongodb's update operation
        await githubdb.updateOne({ test: 1 }, { $set: { test2: 123 } });
        await githubdb.updateMany({ test: 1 }, { $set: { test2: 123 } });
        
        // find operations, find, only one method here
        await githubdb.find({ test: 1 });

Performance

We all use GitHub as a database, so, Low performance, but can be used to record some small things

CHANGES

• 1.1.2
  • github.ts: add pre_page: 9999 into method isBranchExist, to avoid the github api branch number limit
• 1.1.3
  • github.ts: add getAllBranchs function to get all branches (the max pre_page is 100 via the api's documents), to avoid the github api branch number limit
• 1.1.4
  • add usageInfo() method to get the current usage information of the API
