scribble

golang-scribble (Golang package: scribble) is a tiny JSON flat file store

Installation

Install using go get github.com/nanobox-io/golang-scribble.

Usage

Create a 'transaction' for scribble to transact.

t := scribble.Transaction{Action: "read", Collection: "records", ResourceID: "<UniqueID>", Container: &v}

• Action - the action for scribble to perform
  • write - write to the scribble db
  • read - read from the scribble db
  • readall - read from the scribble db (all files in a collection)
  • delete - remove a record from the scribble db
• Collection - the folder scribble will create to store grouped records
• ResourceID - the unique ID of the resource being stored (bson, uuid, etc.)
• Container - the Struct that contains the data scribble will marshal into the store, or what it will unmarshal into from the store

Full Example

// a new scribble driver, providing the directory where it will be writing to, and a qualified logger to which it can send any output.
database, err := scribble.New(dir, logger)
if err != nil {
  fmt.Println("Error", err)
}

// this is what scribble will either marshal from when writing, or unmarshal into when reading
record := Record{}

// create a new transaction for scribble to run
t := scribble.Transaction{Action: "read", Collection: "records", ResourceID: "<UniqueID>", Container: &record}

// have scribble attempt to run the transaction
if err := database.Transact(t); err != nil {
  fmt.Println("Error", err)
}

For an example of a qualified logger see here.
