Sqlite-key-value

A database key-value module in sqlite

Setup

First, install sqlite-key-value.

• NPM: npm i -s sqlite-key-value
• Yarn: yarn add sqlite-key-value

After that, use Node's require function to load in the class.

const Database = require("sqlite-key-value");

Lastly, construct the Database class to create a database.

Options

There are different options for creating a database. Read them below. Every option is optional!

Name	Default	Type	Description
Development	False	Boolean	See development
Cwd	process.cwd()	Compleat path	The path to the folder, starting from the beginning
Name	Database	String	The name of the database, without the extention
InMemory	False	Boolean	Load the whole database in memory for faster access times

const path = require("path");
let db = new Database({
  development: true, // Easy editable JSON database!
  cwd: path.join(__dirname, "databases"), // Folder "databases" under current directory
  name: "main-db",
  inMemory: true // Not recommended for large databases
});

Development

Sqlite databases aren't easy editable, even with an external program. That's why there is a development option. If true, json-config-store will be used for the database, so it's easy editable.

Don't use json databases for public applications, because JSON databases corrupt fast.

Using the database

There are four methods. When using a JSON database (during development only!), you're using json-config-store.

All the methods return a promise that gets resolved when the operation is compleated

WaitForReady

Returnes a promise that gets resolved when the database is ready!

Get

To get data, use the get method, with one parameter: The key you want to get.

Set

To set data, use the set method. It has two parameters:

• Key: The key
• Value: Everything that is compatible with JSON.stringify.

Delete

To delete a key, use the delete method. Just like the get method, it has one parameter: The key you want to delete

Example

db.waitForReady().then(async () => {
  await db.set("foo", "bar");
  console.log(await db.get("foo"));
  // > bar
  
  await db.delete("foo");
  console.log(await db.get("foo"));
  // > undefined
});
