Storage mechanism for the [Commentar](https://github.com/Commentar/Commentar) project. This storage mechanism requires no database, but rather stores the data encoded in the JSON format on the filesystem.

This should only be used for development purposes to have a portable way of introducing some persistent storage. It should *never* be used in production.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Add the storage mechanism to the project's `composer.json` file:

```
"require": {
    "commentar/json-storage": "0.0.*",
}

```

Add the default admin user in the `/data/users.json` file:

```
{
    "autoincrement": 1,
    "users": {
        "1": {
            "id": 1,
            "username": "PeeHaa",
            "password": "$2y$14$Usk4vuNbzowQihbscOZjcu6RRzPBK3zIn79F8wn.bjczbElrqzbJu",
            "email": "your@mail.com",
            "isHellbanned": false,
            "isAdmin": true
        }
    }
}

```

The password should be hashed using PHP's native password hashing function (`password_hash()`). The easiest way to generate the password hash is by either using [this service](https://passhash.pieterhordijk.com) or by manually running the password hashing function: `echo password_hash('Your super secret password', PASSWORD_DEFAULT, ['cost' => 14]);`.

To start using the storage you will have to start using the provided datamapper factory by this library. An example of retrieving the comment tree of a thread is:

```
$domainObjectFactory = new \Commentar\DomainObject\Factory();
$datamapperFactory   = new \Commentar\Storage\Json\Factory(__DIR__ . '/vendor/commentar/json-storage/data');
$commentService      = new \Commentar\Service\Comment($domainObjectFactory, $datamapperFactory);

$commentTree = $commentService->getTree(1);

```
