NAME

SQLite::KeyValueStore::Simple - A simple key-value store using SQLite

VERSION

This document describes version 0.002 of SQLite::KeyValueStore::Simple (from Perl distribution SQLite-KeyValueStore-Simple), released on 2021-06-18.

SYNOPSIS

From Perl:

 use SQLite::KeyValueStore::Simple qw(
     dump_sqlite_kvstore
     list_sqlite_kvstore_keys
     get_sqlite_kvstore_value
     set_sqlite_kvstore_value
     check_sqlite_kvstore_key_exists
 );

 # list existing keys in the store
 my $res;
 $res = list_sqlite_kvstore_keys(); # => [200, "OK", []]

 # set value of a key (automatically create key), returns old value
 $res = set_sqlite_kvstore_value(key=>"foo", value=>"bar"); # => [200, "OK", undef]
 $res = set_sqlite_kvstore_value(key=>"foo", value=>"baz"); # => [200, "OK", "bar"]

 # get value of a key (returns 404 if key does not exist)
 $res = get_sqlite_kvstore_value(key=>"foo"); # => [200, "OK", "baz"]
 $res = get_sqlite_kvstore_value(key=>"qux"); # => [404, "Key does not exist"]

 # check the existence of a key
 $res = check_sqlite_kvstore_key_exists(key=>"foo"); # => [200, "OK", 1]
 $res = check_sqlite_kvstore_key_exists(key=>"qux"); # => [200, "OK", 0]

 # customize the database path
 $res = check_sqlite_kvstore_key_exists(key=>"foo", path=>"/home/ujang/myapp.db"); # => [200, "OK", 0]

From command-line (install App::SQLiteKeyValueStoreSimpeUtils):

 # list existing keys in the store
 % list-sqlite-kvstore-keys

 # set value of a key (returns the old value)
 % set-sqlite-kvstore-value foo bar
 % set-sqlite-kvstore-value foo baz
 bar

 # get value of a key
 % get-sqlite-kvstore-value foo
 baz

 # check existence of a key
 % check-sqlite-kvstore-key-exists foo

DESCRIPTION

This module provides simple key-value store using SQLite as the backend. The logic is simple; this module just stores the key-value pairs as rows in the database table. You can implement a SQLite-based key-value yourself, but this module provides the convenience of getting/setting via a single function call or a single CLI script invocation.

FUNCTIONS

check_sqlite_kvstore_key_exists

Usage:

 check_sqlite_kvstore_key_exists(%args) -> [$status_code, $reason, $payload, \%result_meta]

Check whether a key exists.

This function is not exported by default, but exportable.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

  • key* => str

    Key name.

  • path => filename

    Database path.

    If not specified, will default to $HOME/kvstore.db. If file does not exist, will be created by DBD::SQLite.

    If you want an in-memory database (that will be destroyed after your process exits), use :memory:.

  • quiet => bool

Returns an enveloped result (an array).

First element ($status_code) is an integer containing HTTP-like status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element ($reason) is a string containing error message, or something like "OK" if status is 200. Third element ($payload) is the actual result, but usually not present when enveloped result is an error response ($status_code is not 2xx). Fourth element (%result_meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information, much like how HTTP response headers provide additional metadata.

Return value: (any)

dump_sqlite_kvstore

Usage:

 dump_sqlite_kvstore(%args) -> [$status_code, $reason, $payload, \%result_meta]

Dump content of key-value store as hash.

This function is not exported by default, but exportable.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

  • path => filename

    Database path.

    If not specified, will default to $HOME/kvstore.db. If file does not exist, will be created by DBD::SQLite.

    If you want an in-memory database (that will be destroyed after your process exits), use :memory:.

Returns an enveloped result (an array).

First element ($status_code) is an integer containing HTTP-like status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element ($reason) is a string containing error message, or something like "OK" if status is 200. Third element ($payload) is the actual result, but usually not present when enveloped result is an error response ($status_code is not 2xx). Fourth element (%result_meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information, much like how HTTP response headers provide additional metadata.

Return value: (any)

get_sqlite_kvstore_value

Usage:

 get_sqlite_kvstore_value(%args) -> [$status_code, $reason, $payload, \%result_meta]

Get the current value of a key, will return undef if key does not exist.

CLI will exit non-zero (1) when key does not exist.

This function is not exported by default, but exportable.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

  • key* => str

    Key name.

  • output_encoding => str

    Output encoding.

    Possible values are r (raw/binary), j (JSON), h (hexdigits), b (base64). Note that a data structure or undef value must be encoded to JSON. The default output encoding is r (or j).

  • path => filename

    Database path.

    If not specified, will default to $HOME/kvstore.db. If file does not exist, will be created by DBD::SQLite.

    If you want an in-memory database (that will be destroyed after your process exits), use :memory:.

Returns an enveloped result (an array).

First element ($status_code) is an integer containing HTTP-like status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element ($reason) is a string containing error message, or something like "OK" if status is 200.

Return value: (any)

list_sqlite_kvstore_keys

Usage:

 list_sqlite_kvstore_keys(%args) -> [$status_code, $reason, $payload, \%result_meta]

List existing keys in the key-value store.

This function is not exported by default, but exportable.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

  • path => filename

    Database path.

    If not specified, will default to $HOME/kvstore.db. If file does not exist, will be created by DBD::SQLite.

    If you want an in-memory database (that will be destroyed after your process exits), use :memory:.

Returns an enveloped result (an array).

First element ($status_code) is an integer containing HTTP-like status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element ($reason) is a string containing error message, or something like "OK" if status is 200.

Fourth element (%result_meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information, much like how HTTP response headers provide additional metadata.

Return value: (any)

set_sqlite_kvstore_value

Usage:

 set_sqlite_kvstore_value(%args) -> [$status_code, $reason, $payload, \%result_meta]

Set the value of a key.

Will automatically create the key if not already exists.

Will return the old value (or undef if key previously did not exist).

This function is not exported by default, but exportable.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

  • input_encoding => str (default: "r")

    Input encoding.

    Possible values are r (raw/binary), j (JSON), h (hexdigits), b (base64). Note that in the database table, value will be stored as raw or JSON. So b and h will be converted to raw first.

  • key* => str

    Key name.

  • output_encoding => str

    Output encoding.

    Possible values are r (raw/binary), j (JSON), h (hexdigits), b (base64). Note that a data structure or undef value must be encoded to JSON. The default output encoding is r (or j).

  • path => filename

    Database path.

    If not specified, will default to $HOME/kvstore.db. If file does not exist, will be created by DBD::SQLite.

    If you want an in-memory database (that will be destroyed after your process exits), use :memory:.

  • quiet => bool

  • value* => str

    Value.

Returns an enveloped result (an array).

First element ($status_code) is an integer containing HTTP-like status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element ($reason) is a string containing error message, or something like "OK" if status is 200. Third element ($payload) is the actual result, but usually not present when enveloped result is an error response ($status_code is not 2xx).
