NodeStorageManager and NodeStorage

---

NodeStorage is a lightweight, file-based storage management system for Node.js, built on top of node-persist. It allows for easy and intuitive handling of persistent key-value storage directly within your Node.js applications. This system is ideal for small to medium-sized projects requiring simple data persistence without the overhead of a database system.

Features

• Simple and intuitive API for data storage and retrieval.
• Asynchronous data handling.
• Customizable storage directories for isolated storage contexts.
• Built-in logging capabilities for monitoring storage initialization and operations.
• Comprehensive test suite using Jest to ensure reliability and performance.
• Detailed documentation with JSDoc for better developer experience.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Node.js installed on your machine.
• Basic knowledge of TypeScript and Node.js.

Installation

To get started with NodeStorage in your package

npm install node-persist-manager

Usage

Initializing NodeStorageManager:

Create an instance of NodeStorageManager to manage your storage instances.

import { NodeStorageManager, NodeStorage } from 'node-persist-manager';

const storageManager = new NodeStorageManager({
  dir: 'path/to/storage/directory', // Optional: Customize the storage directory.
  logging: true, // Optional: Enable logging.
});

Creating a Storage Instance:

Use the manager to create a new storage context.

const myStorage = await storageManager.createStorage('myStorageName');

Using the Storage:

Set a value:

await myStorage.set('myKey', 'myValue');

Get a value:

const value = await myStorage.get('myKey');
console.log(value); // Outputs: 'myValue'

Remove a value:

await myStorage.remove('myKey');

Clear the storage:

await myStorage.clear();
