vano

small and flexible collection storage library suitable for small projects.

Installation

$ npm i vano

Usage

import vano, {file} from 'vano';

(async () => {
    const db = vano({adapter: file('./storage')});

    const characters = db.collection('characters', {
        name: '',
        age: 0,
    });
    
    characters.add({name: "john doe", age: 30});

    await characters.write();
})()

Library

vano(config: Config)

Config

	required	default	description
adapter	✓		interface for the communication between vano and io system. it can be file, memory or a custom function. adapter

Creates a new vano instance.

import vano, {memory} from 'vano';

const db = vano({adapter: memory()});

Adapter

file(base)

Reads/writes the collections as JSON file to the provided base directory.

import vano, {file} from 'vano';

const db = vano({adapter: file('./collections')});

---

memory()

Keeps all collections in the memory.

import vano, {memory} from 'vano';

const db = vano({adapter: memory()});

---

Custom

Custom adapters can be used to read and write collections from and in different formats. These have to adhere the Adapter interface and return a function with four of the following sub-functions:

function	parameter	return	description
read	key: string	Promise<any>	resource reading logic. should return anything deserialize is comfortable with.
write	key: string, data: any	void	resource saving logic. data is previously by serialize processed.
serialize	data: any	Promise<any>	transform data into a processable form for write.
deserialize	data: any	Promise<any>	transform data into a processable form for read.

Example:

const adapterFactory = (someLibrary, someSerializer) => {
  const read = (key) => {
    return someLibrary.loadByKey(key);
  }

  const write = (key, value) => {
    someLibrary.saveByKey(key, value);
  }

  const serialize = (data) => {
    return someSerializer.serialize(data);
  }

  const deserialize = (data) => {
    return someSerializer.deserialize(data);
  }
}

Collection

db.collection(name[, schema])

Creates a collection with:

• name (only alphanumeric)
• optional schema (rough shape of every collection item)

vano uses schema for autocompletion and can be omitted if not necessary.

const col = db.collection('users', {name: "", age: 0});

---

col.read()

Asynchronously loads a collection into the memory via adapter, given a previously written collection exists.

col.read();

---

col.write()

Asynchronously saves a collection from the memory via adapter.

col.write();

---

col.add(item)

Adds an item to the collection and returns the unique id of the item inside the collection.

const id = col.add({name: "john doe", "age": 30});

---

col.all()

Returns all items from the collection.

const items = col.all();

---

col.count()

Returns the count of all items in the collection.

const count = col.count();

---

col.get(id)

Returns the item from the collection via id.

const item = col.get('ID');

---

col.remove(id)

Removes the item from the collection via id.

col.remove('ID');

---

col.update(id, update)

Updates the values of an item by an id and update object.

col.update('ID', {name: "max mustermann"});

---

col.reset()

Removes all items from the collection.

col.reset();

---

col.on(event, listener[, {once: bool])

Binds an event listener to one of the following actions add | update | remove.

const onAdd = (data) => console.log(data);
col.on('add', onAdd);

---

col.off(event, listener)

Unbinds the previously bound event listener.

const onAdd = (data) => console.log(data);
col.off('add', onAdd);

---

col.query()

Returns a query function for basic querying. See query.

const query = col.query();

Query

query.eq(key, value)

Selects items where item[key] is equal value and returns a new query function. Value can also be a regular expression.

const query = query.eq('name', 'doe');

---

query.neq(key, value)

Selects items where item[key] is not equal value and returns a new query function. Value can also be a regular expression.

const query = query.neq('name', 'doe');

---

query.gt(key, value)

Selects items where item[key] is greater than value and returns a new query function.

const query = query.gt('age', 20);

---

query.gte(key, value)

Selects items where item[key] is greater than or equal value and returns a new query function.

const query = query.gte('age', 30);

---

query.lt(key, value)

Selects items where item[key] is lesser than value and returns a new query function.

const query = query.lt('age', 20);

---

query.lte(key, value)

Selects items where item[key] is lesser than or equal value and returns a new query function.

const query = query.lte('age', 30);

---

query.skip(n)

Sets an offset of n and returns a new query function.

const query = query.skip(2);

---

query.limit(n)

Sets a limit of n items and returns a new query function.

const query = query.limit(10);

---

query.get()

Returns the queried items as an array.

const items = query.get();

ToDo

• autocompletion via schema in collection.query() and collection.update()
