KelDB

KelDB is a simple node-based database for asyncio applications.

Dynamics

KelDB is organised into nodes. A node is a container that can hold a value and/or other subnodes. The database itself is the root node, and every piece of data is a subnode of it.

Usage

KelDB is quite flexible. There's only a few commands to learn.

import asyncio
import keldb

# Create a default KelDB database (or load an existing database)
database = keldb.KelDB(keldb.FileStoreHook("./testdb/"))

async def main():
    # Create subnodes (lazy creation - no actual subnodes are created yet)
    foo = await database.get_subnode("foo")
    bar = await database.get_subnode("bar")
    baz = await database.get_subnode("baz")

    await bar.set_value("This can be any json-serializable object.") # Set a value (now "bar" is actually created)
    
    await baz.set_value({"type": "user", "name": "Gabe Newell"}) # Now "baz" is actually created

    text_subnode = await foo.get_subnode("text")

    await text_subnode.set_value("If you are reading this, this data saved correctly!") # Write text in a subnode's subnode. (now both "foo" and "foo/text" are created)

    print(await text_subnode.get_value()) # Read a value from the database

    await foo.delete() # Delete a subnode (do note that this also recursively deletes any subnodes under it)

    async for subnode in database.list_subnodes(): # Iterate over subnodes
        print(subnode.path)

    await database.set_value("Even the database itself is technically a node!")

asyncio.run(main())
