Kept: a database for puppies

Kept builds a toy object store on top of sqlite3.

You probably don't want to use this for your serious project. Here's why.

import { Store } from '@donothing/kept'

const store = Store('puppies.db')

// insert a new object, and get an id back that you
// can use to retrieve it
const id = await store.add({ name: 'Rover', breed: 'Alsatian' })

// get an object that has previously been stored
const rover = await store.get(id)

// update an existing object or create a new object at a specific ID
await store.put(id, { ...rover, weight: 540 })

// Atomically update an existing object. This is relatively slow and
// can fail in high-concurrency.
await store.update(id, (dog) => {
  return {
    ...dog,
    name: 'Fido'
  }
})

// delete a specific object from the store
await store.delete(id)

// get all the objects where a specific property has the given value
const alsatians = await store.findBy('breed', 'Alsatian')

// just gimme all the objects
const puppers = await store.all()

// we're done here
await store.close()

Complex queries

To do more complex queries, call .query(build) with a function build that takes a query builder and returns a querybuilder.

If you return the builder as-is, this is the equivalent of .all()

const doggos = await store.query(dogs => dogs)

Where clauses

You can filter down the results with .where(predicate) or the equivalent .and(predicate).

A predicate function is passed an object representing each record in the store and returns a value that represents a boolean.

const alsatians = await store.query(
  dogs => dogs
    .where(dog => dog.get('breed').eq('Alsatian'))
)

additional clauses can be added by chaining .where(...) or .and(...)

const doggos = await store.query(
  dogs => dogs
    .where(dog => dog.get('breed').eq('Alsatian'))
    .and(dog => dog.get('weight').eq(35))
)

Comparisons

on an expression, .eq( ) can be passed a string or number, or another expression and represents an equality comparison

value.eq('something')
value.eq(12)
value.eq(value)

You can also use .gt(...) or .lt(...) for "greater than" or "less than" comparisons.

These either take a number or a second expression

value.gt(4)
value.lt(2)
value.lt(value)

Boolean operations

Truth values can be combined in the normal ways using .and(...), .or(...) and .not().

// all objects with a weight less than 4
// OR a name starting wtih 'F'
dog.get('weight').lt(4)
  .or(dog.get('name').like('F%'))

// all objects where the name does NOT start
// with 'F'
dog.get('name').not.like('F%') // these two expressions are equivalent
dog.get('name').like('F%').not()

Values

You can get other values from an expression with .get(property: string) or .id()

// get the id for this record
(obj) => obj.id()

// gets the property 'foo' on obj
(obj) => obj.get('foo')

Any

The .any(...) method allows you to inspect each item of an array property.

// matches objects like { ingredients: ['Sugar', 'Flour', 'Eggs'] }
recipe =>
  recipe.get('ingredients').any(ingredient => ingredient.like('Sugar'))

Order by

orderBy uses a subset of the query DSL that returns TValues, the second argument must be either 'asc' or 'desc'.

// get all alsatians, from lightest to heaviest
const doggos = await store.query(
  dogs => dogs
    .where(dog => dog.get('breed').eq('Alsatian'))
    // the first parameter should be some value derived from the object
    // the second parameter should be 'asc' or 'desc'
    .orderBy(dog => dog.get('weight'), 'asc')
)

Limit and Offset

To get a partial result set, you can specify offset and limit

import { equal, prop } from '@donothing/kept'

const doggos = await store.query(
  dogs => dogs
    .where(dog => dog.get('breed').eq('Alsatian'))
    .orderBy(dog => dog.get('weight'), 'asc')
    .offset(3) // start at the 4th result
    .limit(5) // return up to 5 results
)
