DS (data store)

This is a simple data store intended for prototyping. It will let you persist JS objects to disk with very little effort in JSON form.

DS is:

• Easy to install
• Easy to use
• Free!

DS is NOT:

• Smart
• Secure
• Scaleable
• Flexible
• Featureful

Do not use this in production.

Install

npm install ds

Example

var DS = require("ds").DS

// if no argument, "./ds.json" is used
// constructore calls load()
var ds = new DS("./ds.json")

ds.one = 1
ds.a = [1,2,"foo"]
ds.o = {bar:"baz", qux:42}
ds.save()        // data (all of it) written to ./ds.json
ds.clear()        // all data erased

API

load(path)        // load JSON data from file into memory
                // if path not provided, path provided to constructor is used
save(path)        // save JSON data to a specific file
save()            // save JSON data to same file as last time
clear()            // clear the in-memory data store
