zip-db

Lightweight JSON based Database implementation for NodeJS, which is designed for a small volume of stored data. No additional Database drivers are required.

The Database will be:

• persisted into the local file system
• encrypted with aes-256-ctr
• compressed

Example

const ZipDb = require("zip-db");
 
// Initialize a database that will be persisted in the file "mydb.db".
// The database will be encrypted by using the password "my-password".
const db = new ZipDb(__dirname + "/mydb.db", "my-password");
 
// add a new collection
const peopleCollection = db.createCollection("people");
 
// add a new document to the collection
const johnCenasId = peopleCollection.add({
  firstName: "John",
  lastName: "Cena",
  symbol: "💪🏻",
});
 
// get an array of all entities in the collection
const allPeople = peopleCollection.getAll();
 
// get a specific document from the collection
const johnCena = peopleCollection.getById(johnCenasId);
 
// update john cena
const updatedJohnCena = peopleCollection.update(johnCenasId, {
  firstName: "John",
  lastName: "Cena",
  symbol: "🥊",
});
 
// delete a document from the collection
peopleCollection.removeById(johnCenasId);
 
// remove all entites from collection
peopleCollection.truncate();
 
// remove people collection
db.removeCollection("people");
 
// add a collection of fruits, if it does not exist yet
const fruitCol = db.hasCollection("fruits")
  ? db.getCollection("fruits")
  : db.createCollection("fruits");
 
// add tasty fruits
fruitCol.add({ name: "Apple", symbol: "🍎" });
fruitCol.add({ name: "Banana", symbol: "🍌" });
fruitCol.add({ name: "Melon", symbol: "🍉" });
 
// print all documents of all collections
db.getAllCollections().forEach(col => {
  console.log(col.name, col.getAll());
});
 
// persist changes to database
db.persist();
 
// add a collection of junkfood
const junkCol = db.createCollection("junkfood");
junkCol.add({ name: "Burger", symbol: "🍔" });
junkCol.add({ name: "Fries", symbol: "🍟" });
junkCol.add({ name: "Pizza", symbol: "🍕" });
 
// we roll back the database to the last .persist() call
// this erases the bad junkfood collection again
db.rollBack();
