fs-db

a silly work in progress to use the filesystem as a database.

the purpose is for apps to have human editable and readable data that can be iterated on easily (vim macros over sql migrations) and shared more openly (GitHub repos over JSON APIs).

how to

install

npm install --save fs-db

use

var FsDb = require('fs-db')

var fsDb = FsDb({
  location: __dirname + '/data',
})

fsDb.createReadStream()
  .pipe(process.stdout)

FsDb(options)

possible options are:

• location: root filesystem directory of the database
• codec: codec to use (defaults to 'json'), see codecs

fsDb.createReadStream()

returns a readable pull stream of objects with JSON Pointer ids based on the path.
