Record.js

A minimalistic object collection library

Record.js aims to provide a lite, 2kb, no dependency collection utility to help build simple in-memory or local storage data sets. Records are stored as JSON.

SOON: ability to export json collections

WIP

Not done yet!

Getting Started

• Download Library, then...

create a new record collection (in-memory)

const pets = new Record();

add something to the collection

pets.add({"name": "Fluffy", "type": "cat"});
// [{"id": "123fk91j7", "name": "Fluffy", "type": "cat"}]

an id field is auto-generated if not provided, this allows easy record retrival via

pets.find("123fk91j7");
// [{"id": "123fk91j7", "name": "Fluffy", "type": "cat"}]

you can also find items via properties like

pets.find({"type": "cat"});
// [{"id": "123fk91j7", "name": "Fluffy", "type": "cat"}]

and you can remove items via

pets.remove("123fk91j7");
// [{"id": "123fk91j7", "name": "Fluffy", "type": "cat"}]

so, no records, right?

pets.find();
// []

API

The public API is very simple, you really only need 3 methods: add, remove, and find.

Method	Description
.add(object)	Adds entry to collection and returns entry(s) added
`.remove(id	object)`
`.find(id	object)`
.count()	returns number of records in collection

NOTICE: find is special, changes based on what you pass in, an id, an object, or nothing at all
