Droopy File Database

A simple JSON flat file database. Written on top of lowdb

Installation

npm install droopy-filedb

Create a Database

The default filepath is db.json

var db = require("droopy-filedb").create();

You can pass in your own filepath. The folder must already exist, the file doesn't.

var db = require("droopy-filedb").create('./appdata/data.json');

Get a Collection

When you ask for a collection, it will be created if it doesn't already exist.

// Get the users collection
var users = db.users;
// Get the 'device123-settings' collection
var settings = db['device123-settings'];

Working with Collections

Add an Item

set(key, value)

db.users.set("apetersen", { login: "apetersen", display: "Andrew Petersen" });

Retrieve an Item

get(key)

var user = db.users.get("apetersen"); 
// { login: "apetersen", display: "Andrew Petersen" }

Get all Items as an Array

items

var users = db.users.items
// [{ 
//     key: "apetersen, 
//     value: { login: "apetersen", display: "Andrew Petersen" } 
// }, {
//     key: "jsmith",
//     value: { login: "jsmith", display: "John Smith" }
// }]
