Dynamically reFresh your data 🍬
This library is not yet ready for usage. So please save this page to bookmarks or give it a star on GitHub and come here later! 😊
DATAMINT is a type of ORM.
ORM (Object-relational mapper) - a programming tool for converting data between incompatible type systems using object-oriented paradigms. It often reduces the amount of code that needs to be written in order to access the needed data.
Many ORMs exist for back-end data storages and browsers, but yet no real ORM exists to connect them. That's why datamint was created.
It would be so big, cumbersome, redundant and inefficient, right?
Not necessarily.
Modern web browsers support a couple of database solutions already like IndexedDB or WebSQL. There also exist some libraries that simplify working with these databases. But the pain only begins here: once you have your IndexedDB/WebSQL set up, you also need to polyfill them with localStorage (for older browsers) and make a universal API for your app out of all this while keeping all the data up-to-date with the data you have on your server. Quite a few things to keep track of, huh?
That is exactly the problem datamint aims to solve in just under 10 kilobytes.
This means that with datamint you can simply map your api client requests (using kefetchup, for example) onto your own data-types without and then forget about the fact that your project even uses back-end APIs!
And also...
datamint supports tree-shaking!
