Super flexible database/datastore for the client, server & mobile devices.
NanoSQL is the smallest and quickest way to get SQL power into your app. You get tons of RDBMS perks like joins, groupby, functions and orderby with strong runtime type casting, events, IndexedDB support, transactions and an ORM.
Persistence supports Local Storage, Indexed DB, and WebSQL in the browser, and Level DB in NodeJS with the same API. The storage engine is automatically selected based on the browser/environment, or can be manually selected.
- Easy
LevelDB,IndexedDB,WebSQLsupport. - Runs in Node, IE9+ & modern browsers.
- Supports all common RDBMS queries.
- Import and Export CSV/JSON.
- Simple & elegant undo/redo.
- Full Typescript support.
- Runtime type casting.
- Complete ORM support.
- Fast secondary indexes.
- Full events system.
Use observables to subscribe to table changes and automatically update your views.
nSQL().observable(() => {
return nSQL("table").query("select").emit(); // use .emit() instead of .exec()
})
.filter(rows => rows.length)
.subscribe((rows) => {
// Update view here, this will be called each time the table changes
}) |

NanoSQL can save data to several different places, depending on the browser or environment it's being ran in.

npm i nano-sql --saveUsing in Typescript/Babel project:
import { nSQL } from "nano-sql";Using in Node:
const nSQL = require("nano-sql").nSQL;To use directly in the browser, drop the tag below into your <head>.
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/nano-sql@1.6.3/dist/nano-sql.min.js"></script>1 minute minimal quick start:
// Use an instance table to query and organize existing tables of data.
nSQL([
{name: "bill", age: 20},
{name: "bob", age: 25},
{name: "jeb", age: 27}
]).query("select", ["name", "MAX(age) AS age"]).exec().then((rows) => {
console.log(rows); // <= [{name: "jeb", age: 27}]
})
// Or declare database models and store data in nanoSQL, using it as a self contained RDBMS
nSQL('users') // "users" is our table name.
.model([ // Declare data model
{key:'id',type:'int',props:['pk','ai']}, // pk == primary key, ai == auto incriment
{key:'name',type:'string'},
{key:'age', type:'int'}
])
.connect() // Init the data store for usage. (only need to do this once)
.then(function(result) {
return nSQL().query('upsert',{ // Add a record
name:"bill", age: 20
}).exec();
})
.then(function(result) {
return nSQL().query('select').exec(); // select all rows from the current active table
})
.then(function(result) {
console.log(result) // <= [{id:1, name:"bill", age: 20}]
})First you declare your models, connect the db, then you execute queries.
nSQL('users')// Table/Store Name, required to declare model and attach it to this store.
.model([ // Data Model, required
{key:'id',type:'uuid',props:['pk']}, // This has the primary key value
{key:'name',type:'string', default:"None"}, // The 'default' will cause inserts to always use "None" if no value is provided.
{key:'age',type:'int', props: ["idx"]}, // secondary index
{key: "eyeColor", type: "string", props:["trie"]}, // Index as trie
{key:'balance',type:'float', default: 0},
{key:'postIDs',type:'array'},
{key:'meta',type:'map'}
])
.config({
mode: "PERM", // With this enabled, the best storage engine will be auttomatically selected and all changes saved to it. Works in browser AND nodeJS automatically.
history: true // allow the database to undo/redo changes on the fly.
})
.actions([ // Optional
{
name:'add_new_user',
args:['user:map'],
call:function(args, db) {
return db.query('upsert',args.user).exec();
}
}
])
.views([ // Optional
{
name: 'get_user_by_name',
args: ['name:string'],
call: function(args, db) {
return db.query('select').where(['name','=',args.name]).exec();
}
},
{
name: 'list_all_users',
args: ['page:int'],
call: function(args, db) {
return db.query('select',['id','name']).exec();
}
}
])// Initializes the db.
nSQL().connect().then(function(result) {
// DB ready to use.
nSQL().doAction('add_new_user',{user:{
id:null,
name:'jim',
age:30,
balance:25.02,
postIDs:[0,20,5],
meta:{
favorteColor:'blue'
}
}}).then(function(result) {
console.log(result) // <- "1 Row(s) upserted"
return nSQL().getView('list_all_users');
}).then(function(result) {
console.log(result) // <- single object array containing the row we inserted.
});
});Some examples of queries you can do.
// Listen for changes on the users table
nSQL("users").on("change", function(dbEvent) { ... });
// Listen for changes on any table
nSQL("*").on("change", function(dbEvent) { ... });
// Get all rows, only provide the "name" column.
nSQL("users").query("select",["name"]).exec().then(function(rows) {...});
// find all users who's name begins with "fr".
// must have props: ["trie"] on the name column in the data model.
nSQL("users").query("select").trieSearch("name","fr").exec()...
// Select all users with the name "John".
nSQL("users").query("select").where(["name","=","John"]).exec().then(function(rows) {...});
// Use a function for WHERE
nSQL("users").query("select").where(row => row.age > 20).exec().exec().then(function(rows) {...});
// Get rows based on the internal property of an object in the row
nSQL("users").query("select").where(["meta[eyeColor]", "=", "blue"]).exec().then(function(rows) {...});
// Get all users with moe than 4 posts.
nSQL("users").query("select").where(["posts.length", ">", 4]).exec().then(function(rows) {...});
// Compound where statements, supports AND & OR
nSQL("users").query("select").where([["name","=","John"],"AND",["age",">",25]]).exec().then(function(rows) {...});
// Order results by name ascending, then age descending.
nSQL("users").query("select").orderBy({name:"asc",age:"desc"}).exec().then(function(rows) {...});
// Limit and offset are easy to use as well
nSQL("users").query("select").limit(10).offset(100).exec().then(function(rows) {...});
// AS and aggregate functions also work.
nSQL("users").query("select",["COUNT(*) AS totalUsers"]).exec().then(function(rows) {...});
// Mix and match as you like
nSQL("users")
.query("select",["id", "name AS username", "age"])
.where([["name","=","John"],"AND",["age",">",25]]) // Where statements can't use AS aliases
.orderBy({username:"desc",age:"asc"}) // But order by does!
.exec().then(function(rows) {})And here are some more advanced query examples.
// Relatively simple join
nSQL("users")
.query("select",["orders.id", "users.name","orders.total"])
.where(["users.balance",">",500])
.join({
type:"left", // Supported join types are left, inner, right, cross and outer.
table: "orders",
where: ["orders.userID", "=", "users.id"] // any valid WHERE statement works here
}).exec().then(function(rows) {...})
// Group By also works
nSQL("users")
.query("select",["favoriteColor", "eyeColor", "COUNT(*) AS users"])
.groupBy({favoriteColor:"asc", eyeColor:"desc"}) // Multiple group bys aren't a problem!
.having(["users" ,">", 2]) // Having uses the same syntax as WHERE, but runs after the GROUP BY command.
.orderBy({users:"desc"})
.exec().then(function(rows) {...})
// Look mah, I used every feature!
nSQL("users")
.query("select",["orders.userID AS ID", "users.name AS Customer", "COUNT(*) AS Orders", "SUM(orders.total) AS Total"])
.join({
type:"left",
table: "orders",
where: ["orders.userID","=","users.id"]
})
.where([["users.balance", ">", 100], "OR",["users.age", ">", 45]])
.groupBy({"orders.userID":"asc"})
.having(["Total", ">", 100])
.orderBy({Total:"desc"})
.limit(20)
.exec().then(function(rows) {...})The Undo/Redo system is super easy to use. First, enable it in the config object.
nSQL("table")
.model([...])
.config({
history: true
})
.connect().then....Then use it! Every query that changes row data will be tracked as a history point.
// Roll the database back one query.
nSQL().extend("hist", "<");
// Roll it forward one query.
nSQL().extend("hist", ">");
// Delete all history points
nSQL().extend("hist", "clear")
// Get the status of the history system
nSQL().extend("hist", "?").then(function(status) {
console.log(status) // <= [0,0];
// The array from the ? query gives you the length of the history in the first value and the current history reference point in the last.
// If the length and point are zero, undo & redo will do nothing.
// If the length and point are equal, redo does nothing.
// if the point is zero, undo will do nothing.
});Writes are quite a bit slower when the history system is used, and your database takes up more space. You can disable the history system from being activated by not calling history in the config object.
