LocalDB
=======

[](#localdb)

LocalDB is a small package to read and write JSON files in a Laravel Eloquent like style.
It was originally developed for small web servers that cannot connect to classic databases.

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

[](#installation)

This package ist available via [composer](https://getcomposer.org/).

```
composer require vollborn/local-db
```

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

### Set the base path

[](#set-the-base-path)

In the base path all json files are stored. The default value is **../storage/local-db**.

You can change it if you need to:

```
LocalDB::setBasePath();
```

### Register a table

[](#register-a-table)

Every table or json file needs to be registered beforehand.

```
LocalDB::table('test', static function (Table $table) {
    $table->int('int')->autoincrements();
    $table->array('array')->nullable();
    $table->boolean('boolean');
    $table->float('float');
    $table->string('string');
});
```

As you can see, there are multiple data types available:

NameFunctionIntegerintArrayarrayBooleanbooleanFloatfloatStringstringIn addition, integers can have *autoincrements*.
All data types can also be *nullable*.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Create data

[](#create-data)

```
LocalDB::query('test')->create([
    'float' => 1.00,
    'string' => null,
    'boolean' => false,
    'array' => []
]);
```

### Get data

[](#get-data)

You can either get all data...

```
LocalDB::query('test')->get();
```

or just the first entry...

```
LocalDB::query('test')->first();
```

The data can also be filtered.

```
LocalDB::query('test')->where('float', '=', 1.00)->get();
```

Available operators:

- =
- !=
- <
- >
- <=
- >=

Furthermore, the data can be ordered.

```
// ascending
LocalDB::query('test')->orderBy('float')->get();

// descending
LocalDB::query('test')->orderBy('float', true)->get();
```

There are some numeric operations available too.

```
// minimal value
LocalDB::query('test')->min('float');

// maximal value
LocalDB::query('test')->max('float');

// average value
LocalDB::query('test')->avg('float');

// summed value
LocalDB::query('test')->sum('float');
```

### Update data

[](#update-data)

```
LocalDB::query('test')
    ->where('boolean', '=', false)
    ->update([
        'boolean' => true
    ]);
```

### Delete data

[](#delete-data)

```
LocalDB::query('test')
    ->where('boolean', '=', false)
