Simple Bolt

Simple way to use the Bolt database. Similar design to simpleredis.

Features and limitations

• Supports simple use of lists, hashmaps, sets and key/values.
• Deals mainly with strings.
• Requires Go 1.17 or later.
• Note that HashMap is implemented only for API-compatibility with simpleredis, and does not have the same performance profile as the HashMap implementation in simpleredis, simplemaria (MariaDB/MySQL) or simplehstore (PostgreSQL w/ HSTORE).

Example usage

package main

import (
    "log"

    "github.com/xyproto/simplebolt"
)

func main() {
    // New bolt database struct
    db, err := simplebolt.New("bolt.db")
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatalf("Could not create database! %s", err)
    }
    defer db.Close()

    // Create a list named "greetings"
    list, err := simplebolt.NewList(db, "greetings")
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatalf("Could not create a list! %s", err)
    }

    // Add "hello" to the list
    if err := list.Add("hello"); err != nil {
        log.Fatalf("Could not add an item to the list! %s", err)
    }

    // Get the last item of the list
    if item, err := list.Last(); err != nil {
        log.Fatalf("Could not fetch the last item from the list! %s", err)
    } else {
        log.Println("The value of the stored item is:", item)
    }

    // Remove the list
    if err := list.Remove(); err != nil {
        log.Fatalf("Could not remove the list! %s", err)
    }
}
