Trapper Keeper

A super lightweight and storage agnostic data abstraction layer.

When you don't want to use Resourceful throw it in Trapper Keeper. A lot of the underlying code and engine structure is based on Resouceful but all the hooks, events and relationships are stripped out.

Example

var trapper_keeper = require('trapperkeeper');

// Create a connection to a data store
var db = trapper_keeper.connect('mongodb', 'mongodb://127.0.0.1', 27017, { database: 'awesome' });

// Create a namespaced resource
// Namespace will correspond with data store key, collection, table, etc.
var resource = db.resource('namespace');

db.connection.on('ready', function() {
  resource.get(id, callback);
  resource.create(attrs, callback);
});

Engines

Trapper Keeper currently has engines for:

• Memory
• MongoDB
• Redis
• MySQL

Caching

Using the cache feature is optional, current engines that support this feature:

• Memory
• Redis

An example of a resource with caching:

// Define a resource with cache functionality
var resource = connection.resource('user').cache('memory');

Function Signatures

resource.get(id, callback);

resource.create(attrs, callback);

resource.save(id, attrs, callback);

resource.destroy(id, callback);

resource.update(id, attrs, callback);

resouce.find(conditions, callback);

resouce.all(callback);
