elementary-db, A not so basic json database

A not so baisc json database system for Node.js including a method for Encryption, and a system for a Remote Database using a simple key and value pair system with an easy to use functionality for the end user and developer

Developed By MrShoe_

VERSION: v3.1.4

Install

use this command to install

npm install elementary-db

Usage

Setup

To setup use the following

const Database = require('elementary-db');
const db = new Database('database');

Or you can do this

const Database = require('elementary-db');
const db = Database.init('database');

And note use this to init a database that suports old files

const Database = require('elementary-db');
const db = new Database('database', {
  "useOld": true
});

Config

To set any config use the .configure function

Example

Set autosave to false use this command

db.configure('autosave', false)

All Config Settings

• AutoSave
  • Save a project to disk after evey change
  • Value Type: True/False
  • Default Value: True
  • Setting value: 'autosave'
• DontSave
  • Disable The ability to save to the drive, only load a file but dont save to it
  • Value Type: True/False
  • Default Value: False
  • Setting value: 'dontsave'

Info about data encryption is found at line 163

Get Current Config

db.getConfig("Config-Value")

NOTE: More configuration will be avalible in a latter update! Check back soon!

Usage

Get data

to grab data use the .get function

db.get(key)

Set data

Use .set to set data

db.set(key, value)

Delete data

To delete data use .del

db.del(key)

Get keys

To grab the keys use this

db.keys()

Has data

To check if a key use .has

db.has(key)

Save to disk

To save the data to the json source use .save

db.save()

NOTE: You don't need to use this command unless you set 'autosave' to false

Get or set all data

To get all data use .getAll

db.getAll()

To setall data use .setAll

db.setAll(newJsonData)

Convert from .json to .edb

use this function to convert a .json file to the newest version of an .edb version

Database.convertToNew('file.json')

then in your database just input the name, "file"

Array

Unfortunetly We are no longer suporting the array database format, sorry for the inconvenionce to those using this format, we have provided a aternative method for similar results bellow this message

const Backup = new Database('database')
if (Backup.has('data')) {
   const array = Backup.get('data')
} else {
   Backup.set('data', [])
   const array = Backup.get('data')
}

Again, sorry for the inconvenience.

Encryption

To inetalise a encrypted database use this using this to setup the database object

const Database = require('elementary-db');
const db = new Database('database', {
  "encrypted": true,
  "encryptedKey": 'encryption key'
});

Then the database will work like normal, now the database just has an extra layer of protection

And as a side note, we HIGHLY recomend you turn off autosave if you have this enabled, it is on by default but the automatic saving to the disk can slow down other processes

IMPORTANT NOTE:

The key MUST be at least 256 bits long or 32 charicters long as a minimum, but if you are very worryed about your user data and or procecsing time, we would recomend you encrypt and decrypt your own private data or use both for an extra player of protection

Example code: ;wch)xTdO0!@Ccv6mxwC8r3cyJmvV-x}

Codes can also not contain the charicter "" or "/"

Remote

IMPORTANT NOTICE: The remote feture is a beta feture and is still in development, so some parts may be broken and not work on ocations, to report any bugs, got to the github isuse tab, HERE or send an email to [email protected]

Usage

Client

Here is how to create a connection to a server

const Database = require('elementary-db')

const server = new Database.remote('<SERVER-IP>', { Settings })

Then after that the database works almost the same, the only change is that all the all the functions are now asynchronous and will have a small delay in the value return as it needs to return a promies object to allow time for the request to be sent to the server

Settings

The settingns is used to dictate if the server is secured or not

Example:

const Database = require('elementary-db')

const server = new Database.remote('<SERVER-IP>', { secure: true })

And as a note, it's considered secured here when its through https trafic instead of http trafic, and it can either be secured through the package itself or through another routeing softwhere! Just thought I should clarify

Settings Options

• secure
• Is the server run with https?
• Values:
  • true/false
• password
• Password for database
• Simple text value

Server

Creating a server is the easy part, here is how you do it

const Database = require('elementary-db')

const server = new Database.remote.server({ settings })

And to start the server simply use this command

server.start()

But make sure to initiate the server with this first

server.createServer()

After the server starts an output similar to this

elementary-db database server running at ip of: 127.0.0.1

and the ip is used to connect to the server from the client

Settings

Currently, the only availible setting is a password, herw is how yout set it up

const server = new Database.remote.server({
  password: 'Password'
})

Make it secure!

I would recomend forwarding it through Nginx, but if you would rather do it through the package, use this instead:

server.createServerSecure( keyfilepath, certfilepath )

where to 2 inputs are the path to the certifacate files

Errors & Logs

If there is an error, details wil apear in the edblogs.txt file, client and server side

but on the server if anything happens, like a connection from a client or an error, it will also show up in the edblogs.txt file with timestamps of when it happened
