Gkv

Join the chat at https://gitter.im/ybur-yug/gkv Gem Version Build Status

Gkv is a simple git wrapper that allows you to use it as a kv store

proof in our pudding

The documentation says thats what it does. So why not yo?

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'gkv'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install gkv

API

Types are implicitly understood, and are automatically set/loaded. Only symbols are excluded. There are 4 main functions:

Set

db[key] = value

db = Gkv::Database.new
db['Pants'] = 'red leather'
# => 'red leather'

This allows a shorthand notation using operator overloading to set without invoking set directly.

set(key, value)

db = Gkv::Database.new
db.set('key', '12')
# => 'key'
db.set('test', 12)
# => 'test'

Get

db[key]

db = Gkv::Database.new
db['Pants']
# => 'red leather'

This allows a shorthand notation using operator overloading to get without invoking get directly.

get(key)

db = Gkv::Database.new
db.set('apples', '10')
# => 'apples'
db.get('apples')
# => '10'

The type is inferred from when you initially set the value. Note that saving the string '1' will return the integer 1 due to the naive nature of the implementation. Hashes, arrays and booleans behave as expected when saved.

Get Version

get_version(version, key)

db = Gkv::Database.new
db.set('apples', '20')
# => 'apples'
db.set('apples', '50')
# => 'apples'
db.get_version(1, 'apples')
# => '20'
db.get_version(2, 'apples')
# => '50'

All

all

db.set('apples', 20.0)
db.set('ants',   'pants')
db.set('things', {})
db.all
# =>[{ 'apples': 20.0 }, { 'ants': 'pants'}, { 'things': {} }]

all_versions(key)

db.set('apples', 5)
db.set('apples', 'pants')
db.set('apples', 5.0)
db.all_versions('apples')
# => [ 5, 'pants', 5.0]

Destroy

db.set('apples', 20.0)
db.set('ants',   'pants')
db.set('things', {})
db.destroy!
db['apples']
# => KeyError
db['ants']
# => KeyError
db['things']
# => KeyError

Usage

db = Gkv::Database.new

db.set('Apples', '10')
# => 'Apples'
db.get('Apples')
# => '10'

# update some values
db.set('Apples', '12')
# => 'Apples'
db.get('Apples')
# => '12'
db.get_version(1, 'Apples')
#=> '10'

# keys that do not exist return KeyError
db.get('magic')
# => KeyError

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

It is a typical bundle install to get things running. We use Guard for testing. To initialize it simply run

$ guard

And you will be good to go!

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.

Dev Roadmap

0.3

  • Remote synchronization & Backup []
  • Persistance & Dump Loading [x]
  • Stop wrapping git via it's CLI []
