To install the st.db package and its associated database drivers, follow these steps:

1. Install the main st.db package:

npm install st.db

2. Depending on the specific database drivers you intend to use, you will need to install the corresponding packages. Here are the drivers and their associated packages:

   • JSON and Cache: The JSONDriver, YAMLDriver, XMLDriver and CacheDriver does not require any additional package installation.

   • SQL:

     npm install @st.db/sql

   • MongoDB:

     npm install @st.db/mongodb

   • PostgreSQL:

     npm install @st.db/postgres

   • Firebase:

     npm install @st.db/firebase

   • MySQL:

     npm install @st.db/mysql

   Note: These packages are marked as optional, meaning you only need to install the ones that correspond to the specific database drivers you plan to use. If you're not using a particular driver, you can skip installing its associated package.

3. Once you have installed the main st.db package and the necessary database driver packages, you're ready to start using st.db in your project!

To begin using st.db in your project, you can import the necessary database drivers and start interacting with your databases using the key-value interface. For detailed usage instructions and examples, refer to the documentation or examples provided for each individual driver.

const { Database } = require('st.db');

import { Database } from 'st.db';

import { Database } from 'npm:st.db';

The DatabaseOptions object allows you to customize the behavior of the database when initializing it. Here's a detailed explanation of the available options:

• encryptionOptions: This property accepts an object that defines additional options for encryption. These options can be used to fine-tune encryption behavior based on your security requirements.

• autoDecrypt (optional): When set to true, this property enables automatic decryption of encrypted data as it's retrieved from the database.

• encryption: This property accepts an object that provides information for data encryption. It includes the following properties:

  • password: The password used for encryption and decryption.
  • digest (optional): A cryptographic digest algorithm used to derive the encryption key from the provided password. If not specified, the default is SHA-256.

• driver: By setting this property, you can specify the desired database driver from the Drivers type mentioned earlier. Choose the appropriate driver that matches your intended database technology.

Here's an example of how you might configure the st.db package using the DatabaseOptions object:

• Table

• Table Class

The Table class extends the functionality of the Database class to provide additional features for managing data in a specific table.

import { Table } from "st.db";

// Create a new table instance
const table = new Table("users", db);

// Set data in the table
await table.set("user1", { name: "Alice", age: 30 });

// Get data from the table
const userData = await table.get("user1");
console.log("User data:", userData);

// Check if a key exists in the table
const userExists = await table.has("user1");
console.log("User exists:", userExists);

// Retrieve all data from the table
const allData = await table.all();
console.log("All data:", allData);

// Clear all data from the table
await table.clear();
