KeyValue.js

KeyValue.js is a minimalistic key value pair server for various uses

Project Status: PRODUCTION

Current Features:

• Supports CORS
• Get,Set,Delete keys
• In memory db
• Heroku support

Planned Features:

• mysql

Setup:

First, download the heroku toolbelt.

git clone https://github.com/richardanaya/keyvalue.js.git
cd keyvalue.js

Look inside server.js at the top, there is a settings block. Please choose the appropriate settings for your use. If you don't have anything special, move on but remember:

• CORS is enabled by default (i.e. anyone in the world can use your key value server)
• There is no authorization by default

heroku create
git push heroku master
heroku ps:scale web=1
heroku open

This last command should open you to a page you can test the key value store and some quick code to copy and paste and get started

Using The Server:

<script src="http://secret-server.herokuapp.com/kvp.js"></script>

//if your server isn't the same origin 
//(i.e. your not running the key value server on same machine as your site)
kvp.server = "http://secret-server.herokuapp.com";

kvp.get("foo",
   function(val){

   }
);

kvp.set("foo","bar",
   function(){

   }
);

kvp.delete("foo",
   function(){

   }
);

Authorization:

In server.js there is a special function at the top named

var authorization = function(token){
    return true;
}

By default it just returns true, but you can use whatever logic you want based off a token that is passed from the client simply by:

kvp.authorization = "SOME_MAGIC_STRING_YOU_WANT_TO_AUTHORIZE"

It's passed as a header so don't go too crazy

One more thing:

uuid/guids are great things when it comes to random storage on the web, i've included

kvp.uuid();
kvp.guid();

Important Notes:

• The key value store is currently in memory only. I'd appreciate any help on different backend support.
• The key value store currently CORS enabled by default (i.e. anyone in the world can use your key value server). Be sure this is what you want.
