store

store

store is the client-side component of a RESTful stringly-typed key/value store for Go (server-side component not included).

It supports several primitive operations that can be used with any server that implements the API defined in the API section.

Installation

go get crdx.org/store

Example

Error handling has been omitted for the sake of brevity.

import (
    "fmt"

    "crdx.org/store"
)

func main() {
    store := store.New("https://.../api/store", "5d41402abc4b2a76b9719d911017c592")

    status, _ := store.Set("foo", "bar")
    status, _ := store.Append("foo", "baz")
    status, _ := store.Delete("foo")

    value, _  := store.Get("foo")
    value, _  := store.GetOrDefault("foo", "(not set)")

    list, _ := store.List()
    for _, k := range list {
        fmt.Println(k)
    }
}

Methods

New(baseUrl, apiToken)

Instantiates a new store.Store using baseUrl as the base URL and apiToken as the API token.

Returns *store.Store.

Set(key, value)

Sets the value of a key.

Returns a human-readable string stating which action the server carried out.

Append(key, value)

Appends a line to the current value of a key.

Returns a human-readable string stating which action the server carried out.

Get(key)

Returns the value of a key.

GetOrDefault(key, defaultValue)

Returns the value of a key.

If the value is empty then defaultValue is returned.

Delete(key)

Deletes a key.

Returns a human-readable string stating which action the server carried out.

List()

Returns a slice containing each of the keys currently stored.

API

This section describes the API implementation.

Authentication is done with the standard Bearer token pattern: a header of the form Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN is sent along with every request.

GET /

Returns a list of all keys stored.

curl $BASE_URL --json --oauth2-bearer $API_TOKEN

The JSON payload for a successful response must be of the following form.

{
    "success": true,
    "items": [
        { "k": "foo" },
        { "k": "bar" },
    ]
}

If a server-side error occurs then success must be set to false and a message key must be provided with the server's human-readable assessment of the error.

GET /:k

Returns the value of a key.

curl $BASE_URL/foo --json --oauth2-bearer $API_TOKEN

The JSON payload for a successful response must be of the following form.

{
    "success": true,
    "value": "bar"
}

If a server-side error occurs then success must be set to false and a message key must be provided with the server's human-readable assessment of the error.

POST /:k

Sets the value of a key.

curl $BASE_URL/foo -d '{ "value": "bar" }' --json --oauth2-bearer $API_TOKEN

The JSON payload for a successful response must be of the following form.

{
    "success": true,
    "message": "added"
}

If a server-side error occurs then success must be set to false and the message key must be set to the server's human-readable assessment of the error.

DELETE /:k

Deletes a key.

curl -X DELETE $BASE_URL/foo --json --oauth2-bearer $API_TOKEN

The JSON payload for a successful response must be of the following form.

{
    "success": true,
    "message": "deleted"
}

If a server-side error occurs then success must be set to false and the message key must be set to the server's human-readable assessment of the error.
