tiny-js-db

A tiny and fast in memory database with relationships support focused in simplicity, small footprint and lib size (for browser and node js)

What it is?

Tiny-js-db was born from a need for working with large relational data in memory where each byte of memory saved matters, GC must works masterfully and indexes are essential for performance... all with the smallest footprint and boilerplate possible.

Usage Example

const TinyJsDb = require("./");
 
// create a new database instance

// create tables
const heroes = Db.createTable("heroes");
const abilities = Db.createTable("abilities");
 
// set relationships
Db.createRelationship(heroes, abilities);
 
// add records to the database
heroes.insert({ name: "Thor", age: 437 });
heroes.insert({ name: "Hulk", age: 40 });
// add record and get its instance
const ironMan = heroes.insert({ name: "Iron Man", age: 42 });
 
abilities.insert({ type: "Super force" });
abilities.insert({ type: "Resistance" });
abilities.insert({ type: "Money" });
abilities.insert({ type: "Thunder" });
 
// retrieve a record by filter
const thor = heroes.getFirst({ name: "Thor" });
// retrieve a record by id
const thunder = abilities.getById(3);
 
// add a relation between records - using its instances
heroes.addRelation(thor, "abilities", thunder);
 
// add a relation between records - using its ids
heroes.addRelation(1, "heroes", 1);
 
// relations can be set from both sides
abilities.addRelation(2, "abilities", ironMan);
 
// get a record with its relationships
const item = heroes.getById(1, ["abilities"]);
console.log(item);
/*
{
  _id: 1,
  name: 'Hulk',
  age: 40,
  abilities: [ { type: 'Resistance', _id: 1 }, { type: 'Super force', _id: 0 } ]
}
*/
 
const myHeroes = heroes.getAll();
console.log(myHeroes);
/*
[
  { name: 'Thor', age: 437, _id: 0 },

Important

IMPORTANT: This project is in the early stages of development, so I suggest not use this library in a production or serious project/product. The first stable version will be released soon, including basic documentation and usage examples (in this readme)

Contributing

Pull requests are welcome. For major changes, please open an issue first to discuss what you would like to change. One point that is very easy to contribute is chose a function, do some benchmarking and change the code to accomplish the most performance possible.

Please make sure to update tests as appropriate.
