atomic-json-store

atomic-json-store

A configuration store adapted from configstore, with the following key differences:

• Decoupled from file location (a small part's been extracted to config-root)
• Does not create the JSON file until necessary (configstore creates it upon instantiation)
• Similarly, on get, atomic-json-store does not create the parent directory
• Throws on invalid JSON in the store, instead of rudely deleting the entire configuration

usage

Create a config at ~/.config/my-config.json:

const JSONStore = require('atomic-json-store')
const root = require('config-root')
const config = JSONStore(root + '/my-config.json')

config.set('name', 'milly')
config.get('name')
config.toJSON()
config.delete('name')
config.clear()

store = Store(path, [options])

• path: where to save the JSON file

Options:

• defaults: an object with default keys and values to save upon instantiation

tip

Instead of setting defaults, which are saved to the JSON file, use family-store:

const JSONStore = require('atomic-json-store')
const FamilyStore = require('family-store')

const defs = FamilyStore('defaults', JSONStore('defaults.json'))
const beep = FamilyStore('beep', JSONStore('beep.json'))

beep.inherit(defs)

defs.set('port', 3000)
beep.get('port') // 3000

install

With npm do:

npm install atomic-json-store
