Usage

hidb can be used as a python package for saving JSON object data in the local storage.

Initialize

Initialize the database with the location you want to store the data, here we are using the current directory

from hidb import fileStoreDB

db = fileStoreDB("./")

Add the data

create method takes three values

• key It is the unique key to recognise the data
• data It is the JSON object to store
• ttl It is an integer, the number of seconds the data should be available in the database, if left blank the data would persist indefinitely.

data = {
  "name": "John Doe",
  "age": 20,
  "hobby": ["Reading", "Coding", "Travelling"]
}
db.create("mydata", data, 20)

Read from the database

To read from the database, simply provide the key

print(db.read("mydata"))

Delete the record from the database

To delete from the database, simply provide the key

db.delete("mydata")

To save the database on the local storage

Provide the name with which to save the file

db.saveData("mydata.pk")

To load from an existing database

To load from an existing file, first we need to create the database instance and then load the data into it.

db = fileStoreDB("./")
db.loadData("mydata.pk")
