Lightweight Electron storage package

You probably need to save data for your Electron application. But you don't want a package that's too elaborate. That's good because I needed a small package with no dependency to allow me that, this is the purpose of this package!

NPM

npm version license issues forks stars

Installation

yarn add electron-light-storage

Usage

const Storage = require('electron-light-storage');
const store = new Storage();

// Set storage
store.set({ say: 'hi Github!' });

// Get storage
store.get();
//=> { 'say': 'hi Github!' }

// Get storage from name
store.get('say');
//=> 'hi Github!'

// Set API just update the previous store with a deep merge, use reset API to remove all
store.set({ user: 'Toinane' });
//=> { 'say': 'hi Github!', 'user': 'Toinane' }

// Reset storage (this API delete the file & create new storage file)
store.reset();
//=> {}

this API is useful for minimal storage like this configuration object

{
    "settings": {
        "theme": "dark",
        "tabIndent": 4
    },
    "user": {
        "name": "Toinane",
        "lastLogin": 1577983073
    }
}

API

storage.set(data: Object): Object

You have to pass only Object in this method.

storage.get(): Object

It will return you the Object saved.

storage.reset(): Boolean

It will return a boolean wich is properly reset.
