fileAway pseudo database
========================

[](#fileaway-pseudo-database)

Test, Mock, Store, Show, Develop faster examples, mock-APIs and apps.

This "database" solution is meant for rapid development and not intended to be used in production. If used in production, please consider the following:

- is the location of the json-file secure? (e.g. protect via .htaccess in apache)
- will I require scalability or handling of bigger datasets? (If so: this is not your production solution!)

### What is it used for?

[](#what-is-it-used-for)

Ever needed to quickly scaffold an API? Ever needed some test data for your unit tests? Ever wanted to create a quick proof of concept? This "database" is for you.

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

[](#installation)

`composer require neoan3-apps/file-away`

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
$db = new \Neoan3\Apps\FileAway('storage.json');

// add entry to new or existing entity
$db->setEntity('articles') // set current entity
   ->add(['title'=>'demo post', 'content' => 'such text']) // add entry to entity
   ->save() // write to db

// list all entries (NOTE: we assume that the entity is still set)
foreach($db->find() as $post) {
    echo $post->title . "";
}

// find one
echo $db->findOne(['title' => 'demo post'])->content;
```
