Install

npm install grud

Initialize

To get started with grud, initialize the db object by passing the required config.

const Grud = require("grud");

let config = {
  protocol: "https",           //If not passed, defaults to 'https'
  host: "api.github.com",      //If not passed, defaults to 'api.github.com' | In case of Enterprise-GitHub e.g github.snapcircle.net.
  pathPrefix: "",              //Leave empty if you are using github.com | In case of Enterprise-GitHub e.g api/v3
  owner: "username",           //Your GitHub username
  repo: "my-repo",             //Your repository name where you'd like to have your JSON store hosted
  path: "db.json",             //Your data store file with .json extension
  personalAccessToken: "xxxx", //Your personal-access-token with write access
};
let db = new Grud(config);

Create your GitHub personal token from here. And please note that grud will create a new JSON data store file as mentioned in the config (db.json in our case) if the file is not found. If the file exists, data shall get appended to the collection array.

};
const posts = await db.save(data);

  },
  {

Limits

grud came out from the frequent need of having a database for internal tooling purpose. If your priority is to have secure/high-performance storage, you should stick to traditional databases like MongoDB.
