Example

Exsta Database

import { Database } from "exsta-database";

const db = new Database("mongodb://localhost:27017/exsta-database");

db.on("ready", () => {
    console.log("Connected to the database");
    doStuff();
});

// top-level awaits
await db.connect(); 

async function doStuff() {
    // Setting an object in the database:
    await db.set("userInfo", { difficulty: "Easy" });
    // -> { difficulty: 'Easy' }

    // Pushing an element to an array (that doesn't exist yet) in an object:
    await db.push("userInfo.items", "Sword");
    // -> { difficulty: 'Easy', items: ['Sword'] }

    // Adding to a number (that doesn't exist yet) in an object:
    await db.add("userInfo.balance", 500);
    // -> { difficulty: 'Easy', items: ['Sword'], balance: 500 }

    // Repeating previous examples:
    await db.push("userInfo.items", "Watch");
    // -> { difficulty: 'Easy', items: ['Sword', 'Watch'], balance: 500 }
    await db.add("userInfo.balance", 500);
    // -> { difficulty: 'Easy', items: ['Sword', 'Watch'], balance: 1000 }

    // Fetching individual properties
    await db.get("userInfo.balance"); // -> 1000
    await db.get("userInfo.items"); // -> ['Sword', 'Watch']

    // remove item
    await db.pull("userInfo.items", "Sword");
    // -> { difficulty: 'Easy', items: ['Watch'], balance: 1000 }

    // set the data and automatically delete it after 1 minute
    await db.set("foo", "bar", 60); // 60 seconds = 1 minute

    // fetch the temporary data after a minute
    setTimeout(async () => {
        await db.get("foo"); // null
    }, 60_000);
}
