🗃 swift-database

swift-database is a module that allows you to interact easily with your local JSON file.

🔰 Getting started

1. Install the module

 npm install swift-database

1. Initialize the database class

const { default: JSONDatabase } = require('swift-database');

const database = new Database({
   filePath: 'path/to/file.json'
});

1. Create your first table and load it

database.createTable('users');

const users = database.table('users');

1. Interact with that table

users.createOne({
   fullName: 'John Doe',
   hobbies: ['programming', 'sport']
});

const userDocument = users.findOne(
   (userDocument) => userDocument.value.fullName === 'John Doe'
);

users.deleteOne(userDocument.id);
