peechee

A configurable tool that can save/get files directly to a local file system or an s3 bucket.

Install

npm install peechee 

Usage

# An example that uses the local file system:

var Peechee = require('Peechee');

var Peechee = new Peechee({
  type: 'local',
  dir: '/usr/local/files'
});

var obj = { data: [1,2,3] };

// write the data to a file 
peechee.write( JSON.stringify( obj ), 'path/to/subdir', 'new-file.json', function( err, res ){
  console.log( err, res );
});

// get the path to the file (not the raw data, just a pointer to file)
// this can be used check if a file exists 
peechee.path( 'path/to/subdir', 'new-file.json', function( err, data ){
  console.log( err, data );
});

// get the raw data in the file 
peechee.read( 'path/to/subdir', 'new-file.json', function( err, data ){
  console.log( err, JSON.parse(data) );
});

Using S3 for storage

To configure peechee to use S3 you can either first export your AWS keys to your local environemt vars:

> export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID='AKID'
> export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY='SECRET' 

Or you can pass the keys directly to Peechee

var Peechee = require('Peechee');

var peechee = new Peechee({
  type: 's3',
  dir: 'my-bucket',
  aws_key_id: 'akid',
  aws_secret_access_key: 'sekritkey',
  region: 'us-west-2' // optional
});

var obj = { data: [1,2,3] };

// write the data to a file 
peechee.write( JSON.stringify( obj ), 'path/to/subdir', 'new-file.json', function( err, res ){
  console.log( err, res );
});

After that the API is the same as the local file system methods
