GoblinDB

Fear the Goblin!

An amazing, simple and fun database for humans

Goblin Philosophy

• Coding is fun, so databases must be fun too.
• Data is the king.
• Data should be stored in the system as a file whenever a change happens.
• Data storage in the system must be hackable.
• The database can lead or connect your server components.
• Events are great... because we are asynchronous.
• We prefer facts over promises: facts are there, promises maybe yes or not. In fact, we're talking about callbacks.
• Data is not the only stuff that can be store in a database.
• We prefer ambush functions over lambda functions. As you know... we're talking about anonymous functions.

Documentation

const GDB = require("@goblindb/goblindb");

const goblinDB = GDB(function(dbError) {
    if (dbError) {
        throw dbError;
    }

    console.log("Fear the Goblin!")

    // Events supported
    goblinDB.on('change', function(changes){
        console.log("-- change detected!:", changes)
        console.log("====================")
    });

    // Read all Database...
    const originalData = goblinDB.get();
    console.log("originalData:", originalData);

    // Store data...
    goblinDB.set({"data": "world!", "data2": "Hiiiii"});

    // Update date...
    goblinDB.update({"new data": "hellooo....", "new array": ["aaaa", true, 2], "data": "cambiado!"})

    // Read all Database...
    const currentData = goblinDB.get();
    console.log("currentData:", currentData)
});
