Creating database

Create a database named "database-name":

import Database from 'object-to-file';
var db = new Database("database-name");

// or...

var objectToFile = require("object-to-file");
var db = new objectToFile.default("database-name");

An empty database-name.json will be created.

Updating

Create "MyTesting" key and push an object to it:

db.push("MyTesting", { hello: "world" });

Reading

Single key

Get the object(s) of MyTesting key:

db.read("MyTesting");

object returned:

{ "hello": "world" }

Everything

Read entire file:

db.read(); 

object returned:

"MyTesting": {
    "hello": "world"
}

Deleting

Remove everything under "MyTesting" and the key:

db.delete("MyTesting");

Remove all data:

db.truncate();

Permanently remove the database (file):

db.unlink();
