EXAMPLE SETUP

STEP1:

Visit https://verefa.com/ and register as a developer, here you must click "New App" and copy the "token" and "tokenid"

STEP2:

Install verefa as shown below. pip install verefa

STEP3:

Create a python client as shown below.

import verefa

client=verefa.machine()
client.connect(TOKENID,TOKEN,"APPNAME")

Ensure you substitute the values from your developer portal into the above connect statement.

STORING DATA:

Begin storing data as shown below.

data = {
	"Name":"Marcus",
	"Email":"[e-mail]"
}

response = client.send("tablename/document", data)

Send Rules:

Data must be created as a dictionary The location must not begin or end with / The paths in a send/get statement must be even.

GETTING DATA:

response = client.get("tablename/document")

Get Rules:

Data returned will be in dictionary format. You can specify parameters client.get("tablename/document", "Name") This would call all documents which include the "Name" field

EXAMPLE:

import verefa

client=verefa.machine()
client.connect(123,34982,1)

print("DEMONSTRATION")

userdict = {
    "name":"Daniel",
    "email":"[e-mail]"
    }

response = client.send(f"users/2", userdict)

print(response)
#prints success message

data = client.get(f"users/2")

print(data)
#prints dictionary of data previously submitted

print(data["name"])
#prints the value of field "name"

documents = client.iterate(f"users")

print(documents)
#prints a dictionary with embedded dictionaries for each user document in the table of users.


result = client.purge(f"users/mike", "FIELD", "email")
#deletes the field "email" in the document "mike"


result = client.purge(f"users/mike", "DOC")
#deletes the document "mike" and the document's data, but not the documents or directories mike held.


result = client.purge(f"users", "ALL")
#deletes the table users and all the content beneath it, does not delete content which is hidden

WARNINGS:

You can't have locations with an odd number of positions unless using .iteration():

client.send(f"users/bob/rewards", userdict) THIS IS WRONG AND WILL ERROR client.get(f"users/bob/rewards") THIS IS WRONG AND WILL ERROR

client.send(f"users/bob/rewards/recent", userdict) THIS IS CORRECT AND WILL FUNCTION client.get(f"users/bob/rewards/recent") THIS IS CORRECT AND WILL FUNCTION

FAQ's:

What is "hidden" data?

When you delete a document using client.purge(f"users/mike", "DOC") all other documents and directories under the "mike" document are not deleted, they are known as "hidden" data, and can only be manually deleted by specifically deleting each path.
