createLibSqlPersister

The createLibSqlPersister function creates a LibSqlPersister object that can persist a Store to a local LibSQL database.

createLibSqlPersister(
  store: Store,
  client: Client,
  configOrStoreTableName?: string | DatabasePersisterConfig,
  onSqlCommand?: (sql: string, params?: any[]) => void,
  onIgnoredError?: (error: any) => void,
): LibSqlPersister
TypeDescription
storeStore

The Store to persist.

clientClient

The database client that was returned from createClient(...).

configOrStoreTableName?string | DatabasePersisterConfig

A DatabasePersisterConfig to configure the persistence mode (or a string to set the storeTableName property of the JSON serialization).

onSqlCommand?(sql: string, params?: any[]) => void

An optional handler called every time the Persister executes a SQL command or query. This is suitable for logging persistence behavior in a development environment.

onIgnoredError?(error: any) => void

An optional handler for the errors that the Persister would otherwise ignore when trying to save or load data. This is suitable for debugging persistence issues in a development environment.

returnsLibSqlPersister

A reference to the new LibSqlPersister object.

A LibSqlPersister only supports regular Store objects, and cannot be used to persist the metadata of a MergeableStore.

As well as providing a reference to the Store to persist, you must provide a client parameter which identifies the database client.

A database Persister uses one of two modes: either a JSON serialization of the whole Store stored in a single row of a table (the default), or a tabular mapping of Table Ids to database table names and vice-versa).

The third argument is a DatabasePersisterConfig object that configures which of those modes to use, and settings for each. If the third argument is simply a string, it is used as the storeTableName property of the JSON serialization.

See the documentation for the DpcJson and DpcTabular types for more information on how both of those modes can be configured.

Examples

This example creates a LibSqlPersister object and persists the Store to a local SQLite database as a JSON serialization into the my_tinybase table. It makes a change to the database directly and then reloads it back into the Store.

import {createClient} from '@libsql/client';
import {createLibSqlPersister} from 'tinybase/persisters/persister-libsql';
import {createStore} from 'tinybase';

const client = createClient({url: 'file:my.db'});
const store = createStore().setTables({pets: {fido: {species: 'dog'}}});
const persister = createLibSqlPersister(store, client, 'my_tinybase');

await persister.save();
// Store will be saved to the database.

console.log((await client.execute('SELECT * FROM my_tinybase;')).rows);
// -> [{_id: '_', store: '[{"pets":{"fido":{"species":"dog"}}},{}]'}]

await client.execute(
  'UPDATE my_tinybase SET store = ' +
    `'[{"pets":{"felix":{"species":"cat"}}},{}]' WHERE _id = '_';`,
);
await persister.load();
console.log(store.getTables());
// -> {pets: {felix: {species: 'cat'}}}

persister.destroy();

This example creates a LibSqlPersister object and persists the Store to a local SQLite database with tabular mapping.

import {createClient} from '@libsql/client';
import {createLibSqlPersister} from 'tinybase/persisters/persister-libsql';
import {createStore} from 'tinybase';

const client = createClient({url: 'file:my.db'});
const store = createStore().setTables({pets: {fido: {species: 'dog'}}});
const persister = createLibSqlPersister(store, client, {
  mode: 'tabular',
  tables: {load: {pets: 'pets'}, save: {pets: 'pets'}},
});

await persister.save();
console.log((await client.execute('SELECT * FROM pets;')).rows);
// -> [{_id: 'fido', species: 'dog'}]

await client.execute(
  `INSERT INTO pets (_id, species) VALUES ('felix', 'cat')`,
);
await persister.load();
console.log(store.getTables());
// -> {pets: {fido: {species: 'dog'}, felix: {species: 'cat'}}}

persister.destroy();
