wee-db

wee-db is a 'wee' and simple embedded JSON database built on lowdb with some traditional query benefits/syntax. wee-db is perfect for projects which require a small, simple and embedded database without the over head of a full database.

Features

wee-db has the following functionality:

  • Insert documents (Allows for auto generate ID's)
  • Update documents
  • Upsert documents
  • Find documents
  • FindOne document
  • Remove documents
  • Simple lodash (lowdb) syntax
  • Runs in Node.js and in the browser

Quick start

Install

Node.js

npm install wee-db --save

Your script can then use wee-db by:

var wee_db = require('wee-db');
var db = wee_db('my-db.json');

This will create a DB file called my-db.json in the same directory as your calling script.

In the browser

Running in the browser uses localStorage. It's as simple as:

<html>
    <head>
        <script src="https://unpkg.com/lodash@4/lodash.min.js"></script> 
        <script src="dist/wee-db.min.js"></script> 
        <script>
            var db = wee_db('db');
            db.insert('blog', {title: 'wee_db'}); 
            console.log(db.find('blog', {title: 'wee_db'}));
        </script> 
    </head>
</html>

Note: You need to ensure you include lodash before wee-db.

Check your browser console for the output

Interacting with your DB

You can query your DB using a Sync call or by using an Async callback. See test/test.js and examples for more info. You can choose to separate your DB into separate files by creating individual wee-db instances or you can use collections and keep it all in one single DB file.

All queries take a collection as the first parameter and depending on the type of query, the other parameters will vary. See examples.

All queries will return an object with a count of documents which matched the criteria and a documents array (except findOne which returns an Object) containing the matched document.

An example returned Object:

{
    count: 1,
    documents: [
        {
            id: 'a8bcb689-52b3-42e9-8f9f-6913c974322e',
            title: 'A title',
            body: 'Somebody'
        }
    ]
}

Inserting documents

Inserting a document into the blog collection and auto generate a ID is as simple as:

var data = db.insert('blog', {body: 'Some body'});
console.log(data);

Inserting a document with your own ID:

var random_id = '123456789';
var data = db.insert('blog', {id: random_id, body: 'Some body'});
console.log(data);

Updating documents

Updates take 3 parameters. The first being the collection, the second being the query for which documents you are intending to update and the third is the values you wish to update.

Updating a document is a simple as:

var myid = '123456789';
var data = db.update('blog', {id: myid}, {body: "Some body - Updated"});
console.log(data);

Upserting documents

Upserting will update a document if it matches the query criteria or insert that document if one is not found.

Upserts take 3 parameters. The first being the collection, the second being the query for which documents you are intending to update and the third is the values you wish to update.

Updating a document is a simple as:

var data = db.upsert('blog', {title: "This will not be found"}, {body: "Some body"});
console.log(data);

Find documents

Finding documents takes 2 parameters. The first is the collection followed by the query.

The following query will check the blog collection and match all documents which have a body which is equal to Some body data.

var data = db.find('blog', {body: 'Some body data'});
console.log(data);

The query above will return an object with a count and an array of match documents.

FindOne documents

Finding documents takes 2 parameters. The first is the collection followed by the query.

The following query will check the blog collection and return the first matched document which has a body which is equal to Some body data.

var data = db.findOne('blog', {body: 'Some body data'});
console.log(data);

The query above will return an object with a count and an Object with the matched document.

lowdb Find

wee-db is built on lowdb and allows for the use and easy of finding documents based on the lowdb syntax

var data = db._find('blog')
    .filter({title: 'A title'})
    .take(5)
    .value();
console.log(data);

See the lowdb documentation for more examples: https://github.com/typicode/lowdb

Document ID's

ID's are required for all documents. If and id value is supplied in the updating document it will be used provided there is not another document with that same ID. If the document doesn't supply an id value, one will be generated when the insert is done.

Tests

Tests can be performed using:

npm test

Build for browser

Building can be done for the browser by running the build script:

npm run build

This will build a file for the browser using Webpack both normal and minified in the dist folder.
