datamethod to base-methods.
(TOC generated by verb using markdown-toc)
Install with npm:
$ npm install --save base-data
Adds a data method to base that can be used for setting, getting and loading data onto a specified object in your application.
var Base = require('base');
var data = require('base-data');
// instantiate `Base`
var base = new Base();
// add `data` as a plugin
base.use(data());
Examples
Add data:
app.data('a', 'b');
app.data({c: 'd'});
app.data('e', ['f']);
console.log(app.cache.data);
//=> {a: 'b', c: 'd', e: ['f']}
cache.data
By default, all data is loaded onto app.cache.data. This can be customized by passing the property to use when the plugin is initialized.
For example, the following set app.foo as object for storing data:
app.use(data('foo'));
app.data('a', 'b');
console.log(app.foo);
//=> {a: 'b'}
Register a data loader for loading data onto app.cache.data.
Params
ext {String}: The file extension for to match to the loaderfn {Function}: The loader function.Example
var yaml = require('js-yaml');
app.dataLoader('yml', function(str, fp) {
return yaml.safeLoad(str);
});
app.data('foo.yml');
//=> loads and parses `foo.yml` as yaml
Load data onto app.cache.data
Params
key {String|Object}: Key of the value to set, or object to extend.val {any}returns {Object}: Returns the instance of Template for chainingExample
console.log(app.cache.data);
//=> {};
app.data('a', 'b');
app.data({c: 'd'});
console.log(app.cache.data);
//=> {a: 'b', c: 'd'}
// set an array
app.data('e', ['f']);
// overwrite the array
app.data('e', ['g']);
// update the array
app.data('e', ['h'], true);
console.log(app.cache.data.e);
//=> ['g', 'h']
Shallow extend an object onto app.cache.data.
Params
key {String|Object}: Property name or object to extend onto app.cache.data. Dot-notation may be used for extending nested properties.value {Object}: The object to extend onto app.cache.datareturns {Object}: returns the instance for chainingExample
app.data({a: {b: {c: 'd'}}});
app.data.extend('a.b', {x: 'y'});
console.log(app.get('a.b'));
//=> {c: 'd', x: 'y'}
Deeply merge an object onto app.cache.data.
Params
key {String|Object}: Property name or object to merge onto app.cache.data. Dot-notation may be used for merging nested properties.value {Object}: The object to merge onto app.cache.datareturns {Object}: returns the instance for chainingExample
app.data({a: {b: {c: {d: {e: 'f'}}}}});
app.data.merge('a.b', {c: {d: {g: 'h'}}});
console.log(app.get('a.b'));
//=> {c: {d: {e: 'f', g: 'h'}}}
Union the given value onto a new or existing array value on app.cache.data.
Params
key {String}: Property name. Dot-notation may be used for nested properties.array {Object}: The array to add or union on app.cache.datareturns {Object}: returns the instance for chainingExample
app.data({a: {b: ['c', 'd']}});
app.data.union('a.b', ['e', 'f']}});
console.log(app.get('a.b'));
//=> ['c', 'd', 'e', 'f']
Set the given value onto app.cache.data.
Params
key {String|Object}: Property name or object to merge onto app.cache.data. Dot-notation may be used for nested properties.val {any}: The value to set on app.cache.datareturns {Object}: returns the instance for chainingExample
app.data.set('a.b', ['c', 'd']}});
console.log(app.get('a'));
//=> {b: ['c', 'd']}
Get the value of key from app.cache.data. Dot-notation may be used for getting nested properties.
Params
key {String}: The name of the property to get.returns {any}: Returns the value of keyExample
app.data({a: {b: {c: 'd'}}});
console.log(app.get('a.b'));
//=> {c: 'd'}
Glob patterns may be passed as a string or array. All of these work:
app.data('foo.json');
app.data('*.json');
app.data(['*.json']);
// pass options to node-glob
app.data(['*.json'], {dot: true});
Namespacing allows you to load data onto a specific key, optionally using part of the file path as the key.
Example
Given that foo.json contains {a: 'b'}:
app.data('foo.json');
console.log(app.cache.data);
//=> {a: 'b'}
app.data('foo.json', {namespace: true});
console.log(app.cache.data);
//=> {foo: {a: 'b'}}
app.data('foo.json', {
namespace: function(fp) {
return path.basename(fp);
}
});
console.log(app.cache.data);
//=> {'foo.json': {a: 'b'}}
