Installation

npm install shridb

Usage

var Shridb = require('shridb');

var db = new Shridb(databaseName); 
// Creates a folder with `databaseName` in project directory, 
// if `databaseName` is Empty then default folder named 'Shridb' will be created.
// Example
var db = new Shridb(nw.App.dataPath + '/yourDBName'); // node webkit or nwjs
var db = new Shridb(path.join(nw.App.dataPath, 'yourDBName'); 
// node webkit or nwjs with path.join method (requires path module);

Arguments:
databaseName(String): The name of database or path to database.
