🎨 Custom DB A simple database management tool that lets you perform CRUD operations via the CLI and interact with an API to submit commands. This tool allows developers to quickly manage a local JSON-based database and also provides a server to handle form submissions.
✨ Features
📄 Custom CLI for creating, reading, updating, and deleting records. 🌐 Express API server to run commands via HTTP requests. 📂 JSON-based local storage. 🛠️ Easy integration into any project.
🚀 Installation To install the custom-db package run the following command:
*npm install custom-db-cli
Installation To install the custom-db package globally run the following command:
*npm install -g custom-db-cli
This will make the custom-db CLI and server commands available globally.
🔧 CLI Usage The custom-db command provides several operations to interact with your local JSON database.
➕ Create a Record custom-db create --name="John Doe" --age=25 --email="[email protected]" --password="password123"
📖 Read All Records custom-db read
This command will display all the records stored in your JSON database.
✏️ Update a Record
custom-db update --id="12345" --name="Jane Doe" --age=26
Replace the id with the actual record ID you want to update.
❌ Delete a Record
custom-db delete --id="12345"
Replace the id with the actual record ID you want to delete.
🌍 Server Usage custom-db also comes with a built-in server to handle form submissions via HTTP requests.
▶️ Start the Server To start the server, use the following command:
*npx custom-db-server
This will run a server on custom-db-cli.vercel.app. The server provides an API endpoint that you can use to run commands from a form submission or a frontend application.
Example: 🛠️ Running Commands via API Once the server is running, you can send POST requests to https://custom-db-cli.vercel.app/api/run-command to run commands via the API.
Here’s an example of how to submit a command using a POST request:
POST /run-command Content-Type: application/json
{ "command": "custom-db create --name="Alice" --age=24 --email="[email protected]" --password="secret"" } The server will execute the command and return a response.
-🎨 Example: Frontend Form Integration If you want to integrate this with a frontend form (e.g., React), you can use the fetch API to send the command:
const handleSubmit = (e) => {
e.preventDefault();
const command = `custom-db create --name="${formData.name}" --age="${formData.age}" --email="${formData.email}" --password="${formData.password}"`;
fetch('https://custom-db-cli.vercel.app/api/run-command', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
},
body: JSON.stringify({ command }),
})
.then((response) => response.json())
.then((data) => {
console.log('Form Data Submitted:', data);
alert('Record created successfully!');
})
.catch((error) => {
console.error('Error:', error);
});
};
This approach allows users to submit forms, and behind the scenes, your package will execute the CLI commands.
