The dart dirty library is persistent HashMap for Dart.
Create a new database with the constructor:
var db = new Dirty('test/test.db');
Open an existing database with the same constructor:
var db = new Dirty('test/test.db');
Then use the usual HashMap
methods to add records:
db['everything'] = {'answer': 42};
And to remove records:
db.remove('everything');
To ensure that everything is written to the filesystem, it is best to properly close a database:
db.close();
I have not really optimized this yet. Using readAsLines
to read DB records seems less than ideal, but it actually works fairly well. Writing could probably be sped up if data was buffered more, but I focused on read for the first pass.
If you would like to improve, see the test/mk_perf_db.dart
and test/perf.dart
scripts. The former creates a 100,000 record DB and the latter reads it back in. On my machine the former takes ~4 minutes to write and ~10 seconds to read. Performance patches welcome!
