That's right. You heard me. JSON Storage. Don't try this at home, folks! |
The fabled JSON storage is a strange beast - I myself have specifically told *many* people before that storing data in JSON files is not an appropriate database. On the other hand, the reason I say this all the time is that people don't ever do it correctly. So... here's JSON storage done right, for your pleasure.
To install the JSON provider, run the following:
npm i @joshdb/json
** OR **
yarn add @joshdb/json
Here's how you setup and use the JSON provider:
const Josh = require('@joshdb/core');
const JoshJSON = require('@joshdb/json');
const db = new Josh({
name: 'testing',
provider: JoshJSON,
// See below for all provider options.
providerOptions: {},
});
db.defer.then(async () => {
console.log(`Connected, there are ${await db.size} rows in the database.`);
});[TBD]
