Filesystem Node RxStorage

The Filesystem Node RxStorage for RxDB is built on top of the Node.js Filesystem API. It stores data in plain json/txt files like any "normal" database does. It is a bit faster compared to the SQLite storage and its setup is less complex. Using the same database folder in parallel with multiple Node.js processes is supported when you set multiInstance: true while creating the RxDatabase.

Pros

• Easier setup compared to SQLite
• Fast

Cons

• It is part of the RxDB Premium 👑 plugin that must be purchased.

Usage

import {
    createRxDatabase
} from 'rxdb';
import {
    getRxStorageFilesystemNode
} from 'rxdb-premium/plugins/storage-filesystem-node';
 
const myRxDatabase = await createRxDatabase({
    name: 'exampledb',
    storage: getRxStorageFilesystemNode({
        basePath: path.join(__dirname, 'my-database-folder'),
        /**
         * Set inWorker=true if you use this RxStorage
         * together with the WebWorker plugin.
         */
        inWorker: false
    })
});
