MemoryX

MemoryX is a simple, lightweight, and browser-based key-value storage utility. It allows you to store, retrieve, and manage data in a global memory object that is scoped by a namespace. This enables you to organize your data into isolated storage areas within the browser.

Features

• Namespace Support: Store data in separate namespaces to avoid collisions.
• CRUD Operations: Easily get, set, delete, and check the existence of data.
• Global Storage: Uses the window object to persist data globally within the browser session.
• Memory Management: Clear and manage data for each namespace individually.

Installation

To install MemoryX in your project, run the following npm command:

npm install @darcas/memoryx

Or, if you're using yarn:

yarn add @darcas/memoryx

Usage

import { MemoryX } from '@darcas/memoryx';

// Create a new instance with a custom namespace (default is '_global')
const memory = new MemoryX('myNamespace');

// Store data
memory.set('user.name', 'John Doe');
memory.set('user.age', 30);

// Retrieve data
const name = memory.get('user.name'); // 'John Doe'
const age = memory.get('user.age'); // 30

// Check if a key exists
const hasName = memory.has('user.name'); // true
const hasEmail = memory.has('user.email'); // false

// Delete data
memory.del('user.age');

// Clear the namespace
memory.destroy();

API

MemoryX(namespace: string)

The constructor takes an optional namespace argument. If not provided, the default namespace _global will be used.

• Parameters:
  • namespace (optional): A string that defines the namespace under which the data will be stored. Default is _global.

destroy()

Clears all the data stored under the current namespace.

memory.destroy();

get<T = unknown>(path: PropertyPath, def: T | null = null): T

Retrieves the value stored at the specified path. If the path doesn't exist, it returns the provided default value (or null if no default is provided).

• Parameters:

  • path: A string or array representing the key path.
  • def: The default value to return if the key doesn't exist (optional).

• Returns: The value stored at the specified path.

const name = memory.get('user.name', 'Default Name'); // 'John Doe' or 'Default Name'

set<T = unknown>(path: PropertyPath, value: T): void

Stores a value at the specified path.

• Parameters:
  • path: The key path where the value should be stored.
  • value: The value to be stored.

memory.set('user.email', '[email protected]');

del(path: PropertyPath): void

Deletes the value stored at the specified path.

• Parameters:
  • path: The key path to be deleted.

memory.del('user.email');

has(path: string): boolean

Checks if a value exists at the specified path.

• Parameters:

  • path: The key path to check.

• Returns: true if the key exists, false otherwise.

const exists = memory.has('user.name'); // true or false

namespaces(): string[]

Returns an array of all namespaces currently stored in memory.

const namespaces = MemoryX.namespaces(); // ['_global', 'myNamespace']

Example

Here is a full example:

import { MemoryX } from '@darcas/memoryx';

// Create a new instance
const memory = new MemoryX('myNamespace');

// Set values
memory.set('user.name', 'Alice');
memory.set('user.email', '[email protected]');

// Get values
console.log(memory.get('user.name')); // 'Alice'
console.log(memory.get('user.email')); // '[email protected]'

// Check existence
console.log(memory.has('user.name')); // true
console.log(memory.has('user.phone')); // false

// Delete a value
memory.del('user.email');

// Clear the namespace
memory.destroy();
