JSONDB

Manage local databases with JSON files and JSONDB Query Language (JQL)

MIT License

What's that ?

JSONDB is a database manager using JSON files and a custom query language named JQL (JSONDB Query Language).

Features

  • Database management with servers, databases and tables
  • Secure connections to servers with username and password
  • Sync and async operations
  • Easy custom query language
  • Supported JQL queries:
    • select()
    • insert()
    • replace()
    • delete()
    • update()
    • truncate()
    • count()

Getting Started

Full API and documentation will be soon available on the JSONDB website...

Install using npm

JSONDB can be installed through npm:

$ npm install jsondb-js

Instantiate JSONDB

var JSONDB = require("jsondb-js");
var jdb = new JSONDB();

Create a server

If you don't have created a server yet, then:

// Sync
jdb.createServer('server_name', 'username', 'password', connect);
 
// Async
jdb.async.createServer('server_name', 'username', 'password', function (error) {
    if (error) {
        throw error;
    }
});

It's useful to check if the destination folder doesn't exist before create a server to avoid errors.

// Sync
if (!jdb.serverExists('server_name')) {
    // Then... create a server
}
 
// Async
jdb.async.serverExists('server_name', function(exists) {
    if (!exists) {
        // Then... create a server
    }
});

Connect to a server

Once instantiated, you have to connect to a server before send queries.

// Sync
var db = jdb.connect('server_name', 'username', 'password', 'database_name');
// or...
var db = jdb.connect('server_name', 'username', 'password');
 
// Async
jdb.async.connect('server_name', 'user_name', 'password', 'database_name', function (error, db) {
    if (error) {
        throw error;
    }
    // db is now a server connection...
});
// or...
jdb.async.connect('server_name', 'user_name', 'password', function (error, db) {
    if (error) {
        throw error;
    }
    // db is now a server connection...
});
  • The server_name is the name of the folder which represents a server (a folder which contains databases). This folder have to be created with jdb.createServer()
  • The username and the password are the information used to connect to the server. These information are the same used when creating the server
  • The database_name is the name of the database to use with current connection. This parameter is optional and can be set manually later.

Create a database

After connection to a server, you can create a database:

// Sync
db.createDatabase('database_name');
 
// Async
db.async.createDatabase('database_name', function(error) {
    if (error) {
        throw error;
    }
});

You can also check if the database exist before the creation.

// Sync
if (!db.databaseExists('database_name')) {
    // Then... create a database
}
 
// Async
db.async.databaseExists('database_name', function (exists) {
    if (!exists) {
        // Then... create a database
    }
});

Use a database

The database to use can be set using the jdb.connect() method, or manually using jdb.setDatabase() method after a connection to a server:

db.setDatabase('database_name');

Create a table

Once JSONDB is properly connected to a server and use a database, you can create a table in this database:

// Sync
db.createTable('table_name', prototype);
 
// Async
db.async.createTable('table_name', prototype, function(error) {
    if (error) {
        throw error;
    }
});

The prototype is an object of column_name: column_properties pairs.

Column properties

There is a list of currently supported column properties:

  • type: Defines the type of values that the column accepts. Supported types are:
    • int, integer, number
    • decimal, float
    • string
    • char
    • bool, boolean
    • array
  • default: Sets the default value of column
  • max_length: Used by some type:
    • When used with float, the number of decimals is reduced to his value
    • When used with string, the number of characters is reduced to his value (starting with the first character)
  • auto_increment: Defines if a column will be an auto incremented column. When used, the column is automatically set to UNIQUE KEY
  • primary_key: Defines if a column is a PRIMARY KEY
  • unique_key: Defines if a column is an UNIQUE KEY

Send a query

JSONDB can send both direct and prepared queries.

Direct queries

// ---
// Sync
// ---
var results = db.query('my_query_string');
 
//// Specially for select() and count() queries
// You can change the fecth mode
results.setFetchMode(JSONDB.FETCH_ARRAY);
// or...
results.setFetchMode(JSONDB.FETCH_CLASS, MyCustomClass);
// Explore results using a while loop (sync)
while (result = results.fetch()) {
    // Do stuff with result...
}
// Explore results using recursion (async)
results.async.fetch(function(error, result, next) {
    if (error) {
        throw error;
    }
    // Stop the resursion when there is no data
    if (result !== false) {
        // Do stuff with result..
        next(); // Important to call the same callback function with the next data    
    }
});
 
// -----
 
// ---
// Async
// ---
db.async.query('my_query_string', function(error, results) {
    if (error) {
        throw error;
    }
    //// Specially for select() and count() queries
    // You can change the fecth mode
    results.setFetchMode(JSONDB.FETCH_ARRAY);
    // or...
    results.setFetchMode(JSONDB.FETCH_CLASS, MyCustomClass);
    // Explore results using a while loop (sync)
    while (result = results.fetch()) {
        // Do stuff with result...
    }
    // Explore results using recursion (async)
    results.async.fetch(function(error, result, next) {
        if (error) {
            throw error;
        }
        // Stop the resursion when there is no data
        if (result !== false) {
            // Do stuff with result..
            next(); // Important to call the same callback function with the next data    
        }
    });
});

Prepared queries

// ---
// Sync
// ---
var query = db.prepare('my_prepared_query');
query.bindValue(':key1', val1, JSONDB.PARAM_INT);
query.bindValue(':key2', val2, JSONDB.PARAM_STRING);
query.bindValue(':key3', val3, JSONDB.PARAM_BOOL);
query.bindValue(':key4', val4, JSONDB.PARAM_NULL);
query.bindValue(':key5', val5, JSONDB.PARAM_ARRAY);
// Execute query synchronously...
var results = query.execute();
// Execute query asynchronously...`
query.async.execute(function(error, results) {
    if (error) {
        throw error;
    }
    // Do stuff with results...
});
 
// -----
 
// ---
// Async
// ---
jdb.async.prepare('my_prepared_query', function(error, query) {
    if (error) {
        throw error;
    }
    query.bindValue(':key1', val1, JSONDB.PARAM_INT);
    query.bindValue(':key2', val2, JSONDB.PARAM_STRING);
    query.bindValue(':key3', val3, JSONDB.PARAM_BOOL);
    query.bindValue(':key4', val4, JSONDB.PARAM_NULL);
    query.bindValue(':key5', val5, JSONDB.PARAM_ARRAY);
    // Execute query synchronously...
    var results = query.execute();
    // Execute query asynchronously...`
    query.async.execute(function(error, results) {
        if (error) {
            throw error;
        }
        // Do stuff with results...
    });
});

JQL (JSONDB Query Language)

The JQL is the query language used in JSONDB. It's a very easy language based on extensions. A JQL query is in this form:

db.query('table_name.query(parameters,...).extension1().extension2()...');

Query Examples

select()

Select all from table users where username = id and password = pass or where mail = id and password = pass

var id = JSONDB.quote(form_data.id);
var pass = JSONDB.quote(form_data.password);
db.query("users.select(*).where(username=" + id + ",password=" + pass + ").where(mail=" + id + ",password=" + pass + ")");

Select username and mail from table users where activated = true, order the results by username with descendant method, limit the results to the 10 users after the 5th.

db.query("users.select(username,mail).where(activated=true).order(username,desc).limit(5,10)");
insert()

Insert a new user in table users

var username = JSONDB.quote(form_data.username);
var pass = JSONDB.quote(form_data.password);
var mail = JSONDB.quote(form_data.mail);
db.query("users.insert(" + username + "," + pass + "," + mail + ").in(username,password,mail)");

Multiple insertion...

db.query("users.insert(" + username1 + "," + pass1 + "," + mail1 + ").and(" + username2 + "," + pass2 + "," + mail2 + ").and(" + username3 + "," + pass3 + "," + mail3 + ").in(username,password,mail)");
replace()

Replace information of the first user

db.query("users.replace(" + username + "," + pass + "," + mail + ").in(username,password,mail)");

Multiple replacement...

db.query("users.replace(" + username1 + "," + pass1 + "," + mail1 + ").and(" + username2 + "," + pass2 + "," + mail2 + ").and(" + username3 + "," + pass3 + "," + mail3 + ").in(username,password,mail)");
delete()

Delete all users

db.query("users.delete()");

Delete all banished users

db.query("users.delete().where(banished = true)");

Delete a specific user

db.query("users.delete().where(username = " + username + ", mail = " + mail + ")");
update()

Activate all users

db.query("users.update(activated).with(true)");

Update my information ;-)

db.query("users.update(mail, password, activated, banished).with(" + mail + ", " + username + ", true, false).where(username = 'na2axl')");
truncate()

Reset the table users

db.query("users.truncate()");
count()

Count all banished users

db.query("users.count(*).as(banished_nb).where(banished = true)");

Count all users and group by activated

db.query("users.count(*).as(users_nb).group(activated)");

Query functions

sha1()

Returns the sha1 of a text. Exemple: Update an old password by a new one:

var old_password = your_sha1_encrypt_function(form_data.old);
var new_password = form_data.new;
var query = db.prepare("users.insert(sha1(:new)).in(password).where(sha1(password) = :old)");
query.bindValue(':new', new_password);
query.bindValue(':old', old_password);
query.execute();
md5()

Returns the md5 of a text. Exemple:

var result = db.query("users.select(md5(username)).as(username_hash).where(username = 'na2axl')");
time()

Returns the timestamp.

now()

Returns the date of today in the form year-month-day h:m:s. You can change the form of the date by using identifiers as parameters:

Identifier Value
%a The day in 3 letters (Mon)
%A The full day (Monday)
%d The day of the month with a leading zero (06)
%m The month of the year with a leading zero (12)
%e The month of the wear without a leading zero
%w The day of the week without a leading zero
%W The day of the week with a leading zero
%b The month in 3 letters (Jan)
%B The full month (January)
%y The last two digits of the year (16)
%Y The full year (2016)
%H The hour with a leading 0 (09)
%k The hour without a leading 0 (9)
%M The minutes
%S The seconds

Exemple:

db.query("users.update(last_acitity).with(now('%d/%m/%Y %H:%M:%S').where(username = 'na2axl'))");
lowercase()

Returns the lower case version of a text.

uppercase()

Returns the upper case version of a text.

ucfirst()

Upper case the first letter and lower case all others in a text.

strlen()

Returns the number of characters in a text.

Supported JQL operators

  • a = b : a equal to b
  • a != b : a different than b
  • a <> b : a different than b
  • a >= b : a superior or equal to b
  • a <= b : a inferior or equal to b
  • a < b : a inferior to b
  • a > b : a superior to b
  • a %= b : a % b === 0
  • a %! b : a % b !== 0
