Teton

Gem Version Ruby Gem CI Maintainability License: MIT

Hierarchical key-value object store

Store key-value pair-based objects in a key-based hierarchy. Provides a pluggable interface for multiple back-ends.

Installation

To install through Rubygems:

gem install teton

You can also add this to your Gemfile using:

bundle add teton

Examples

The main API is made up of these instance methods:

Method Description
Db#set(key, data = {}) Set an entries data to the passed in values.
Db#get(key, limit: nil, skip: nil) Get the entry if it exists or nil if it does not. If the key is a resource then it will always return an array.
Db#del(key) Delete the key and all children of the key from the store.
Db#count(key) The number of entries directly under a key if the key is a resource. If they key is an entry then 1 if the entry exists and 0 if it does not exist.

Note(s):

  • limit and skip are optional and only apply to resource keys, not entry keys.

Setting Up Database

ruby db = Teton::Db.new

Setting Objects

````ruby bozo_key = ‘users/1’ inception_key = “#bozo_key/movies/1” # => users/1/movies/1 inception_actors_key = “#inception_key/actors” # => users/1/movies/1/actors leo_key = “#inception_actors_key/1” # => users/1/movies/1/actors/1 tom_key = “#inception_actors_key/2” # => users/1/movies/1/actors/2

db.set(bozo_key, first: ‘bozo’, last: ‘clown’) .set(inception_key, title: ‘Inception’, year: 2010) .set(leo_key, first: ‘Leonardo’, last: ‘DiCaprio’, star: true) .set(tom_key, first: ‘Tom’, last: ‘Hardy’, star: true) ````

Note(s):

  • #set returns self.
  • If an inner key within the key does not exist then it will be added to the hierarchy.

Retrieving Objects

ruby bozo = db.get(bozo_key) # => Teton::Entry inception = db.get(inception_key) # => Teton::Entry leo = db.get(leo_key) # => Teton::Entry tom = db.get(tom_key) # => Teton::Entry inception_actors = db.get(inception_actors_key) # => [Teton::Entry]

Note(s):

  • If a key does not exist then nil will be returned.
  • If a key is for a resource then it will return an array.

Deleting Objects

ruby db.del(leo_key) .get(inception_key) .del(bozo_key)

Note(s):

  • #del returns self.
  • If an inner key is deleted then all child keys in the hierarchy are deleted.

Backends

The back-end: Teton::Stores::Memory will be used by default. You can also pass in another back-end if one exists:

ruby store = Teton::Stores::MySQL.new(host: '127.0.0.1', db: 'teton_entries') db = Teton::Db.new(store: store)

Note(s):

  • Each back-end may require specific configuration so it is up to you to check the desired back-end’s documentation.
  • Currently Teton::Stores::MySQL does not exist as an implementation but any store (i.e. MySQL, PostgeSQL, Redis, S3, traditional file systems) should all be possible.

Each back-end provides its own persistence mechanics. For example, Teton::Stores::Memory provides persistence/serialization methods:

Method Description
#load!(path( Load from a file on disk
#save!(path) Save to a file on disk
#from_json! Deserialize a passed in JSON string
#to_json Return a serialized JSON string

Development Environment Configuration

Basic steps to take to get this repository compiling:

  1. Install Ruby (check teton.gemspec for versions supported)
  2. Install bundler (gem install bundler)
  3. Clone the repository (git clone [email protected]:mattruggio/teton.git)
  4. Navigate to the root folder (cd teton)
  5. Install dependencies (bundle)

Running Tests

To execute the test suite run:

zsh bin/rspec spec --format documentation

Alternatively, you can have Guard watch for changes:

zsh bin/guard

Also, do not forget to run Rubocop:

zsh bin/rubocop

And auditing the dependencies:

zsh bin/bundler-audit check --update

Publishing

Note: ensure you have proper authorization before trying to publish new versions.

After code changes have successfully gone through the Pull Request review process then the following steps should be followed for publishing new versions:

  1. Merge Pull Request into main
  2. Update version.rb using semantic versioning
  3. Install dependencies: bundle
  4. Update CHANGELOG.md with release notes
  5. Commit & push main to remote and ensure CI builds main successfully
  6. Run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.

Code of Conduct

Everyone interacting in this codebase, issue trackers, chat rooms and mailing lists is expected to follow the code of conduct.
