Filebaser

Filebaser is an engine for managing database documents like MongoDB.

Installation

All dependencies of Filebaser are easily installed by npm.

    npm install

Declaration

How to declare:

    const FileBaser = require('filebase');

    fb = new FileBaser('databasefile.db');

Querying

You can apply any filter like in MongoDB

    let collection = fb.getColletion('users');

    let users = collection.find({
        limit: 10,
        where: {
            age: { gte: 18 }
            active: true
        }
    });

Saving

For inserting and updating data we use a pattern similar to an ORM

    let collection = fb.getCollection('users');

    let obj = {
        name: 'filebase',
        login: 'file.baser',
        pass: 'file@123baser#',
        age: 24,
        active: true
    };

    collection.save(obj);

After that this object received and unique ID for identification and was saved to memory.

Why saved on memory ?

Because we are talking about writing data into a file. Even NodeJS works asynchronously it should sometime overload the app. So to solve this problem we created a function called "flush()". It's reposible for sending saved data directly to the database file. E.g.: continuing from last example about inserting data.

    collection.flush();

Testing

For automated tests we're using Mocha. And, integrated with npm custom scripts, you can run that easily using the following command.

    npm run test
