KVS File
KVS or Key Value Store is an abstract KeyValueStore system. The kvs-* group of node modules, are intended to present a unified interface to key value stores of every persuasion. This allows for substituting them without changing anything but the initializing parameters.
KVS-file is a KVS compliant module that uses the file-system as a persitence layer.
Install
npm install kvs-file
Use
var KVS=require('kvs-file');
var store = new KVS({
root:'/path/to/storage' // the path where data should be stored
});
store.set('name', new Buffer('value is a buffer'), function(err) {…});
store.get('name', function(err, value) { … });
store.remove('name', function(err) { … });
store.list('name', function(err, value) { … });
Beware: This module does not alter the names of your keys in any way. So if your name contains a path separator (such as /) it will create directories and could cause errors. For a way to utilitze this behaviour look at kvs-segmentname.
