Installation

npm install --save appstoragejs

Introduction

Use the ES6 Proxy API to set traps to recursively watch changes on an object and sync it automatically with a JSON file within the current event loop phase using fs.writeFileSync.

• Good for CLI tools, storing configs, user preferences, cached data, states, etc.
• Bad for production applications, scalable or high-performance applications, web servers, etc.

Usage

• The data are synced automatically with data.json on every change within the current event loop phase.
• The data are read automatically from data.json when the app starts.
• Nothing to worry about just deal with the object as any normal object.

var AppStorage = require('appstoragejs');

// Create a new AppStorage
var appStorage = new AppStorage('data.json');

// Just do anything with your object !
appStorage.name = 'Bob';
appStorage.age = 13;
appStorage.records = [1,2,3,4];

You can define your AppStorage object as a global object to be used anywhere within your app.

global.appStorage = appStorage;
