README
## Data-Drive
A wrapper to do some easy logging and writing and parsing stuff from and to Google Spreadsheets.
## Install
`npm install data-drive`
Or
Clone the repo to your localhost
`git clone [email protected]:RamonGebben/data-drive.git`
## Quick example
```javascript
var config = require('./config.json');
var DD = require('data-drive')( config );
DD.connect(function(){
DD.create( { "test": "testing", "test2": "OK" }, function(){
console.log( "done" );
} )
});
```
## Configurations
First you must create a doc to write to.
Open your [Drive](https://drive.google.com/drive/#my-drive) and sign in.
Use [this template](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ztKQwLEbpiHC9c8RTH8iInuapXsZKBrLFdGMqjILhwk/edit?usp=sharing) to create a new sheet.
Next we need to configure the `config.json`. The config expects the following values to be present:
```json
"auth": {
"username": "[email protected]",
"password": "password"
},
"sheet": {
"name": "name of sheet",
"id": "optional id",
"worksheet": {
"name": "worksheet name",
"id": "optional id"
}
}
```
The `sheet.id` and `sheet.worksheet.id` are optional.
These will appear in the console when not given, after that you could add them to make the connection faster.
## Mapping the sheet
Because Google sheets provides us with a json we can't really work with the data gets remapped.
You can ajust the names of the columns in the `config.json`. A mapping would look like this:
```json
"mapping": {
"columns":[
["1", "key"],
["2", "key1"],
["3", "key2"]
]
}
```
##### How we receive the data
```json
{
"1": {
"1": "pizza",
"2": "koffie",
"3": "kebab"
}
}
```
##### After mapping
```json
{
"key": "pizza",
"key1": "koffie",
"key2": "kebeb",
"id": 1
}
```
## Actions
The action have a very simple syntax:
```javascript
DD.name_of_action( [id], data, function(){
//Gets executed when done.
});
```
Although some action may require an id like:
- GET
- UPDATE
- DESTROY
Because else we wouldn't not know which record to update.
#### GET
The `GET` action requires an id or an query to find a array of records to match the query.
```javascript
// With an ID
DD.get( id, function(){
//Gets executed when done.
});
// => {} returns an Object
// With an query
// NOTE: Only `===` is supported at this point
DD.get( 'key === pizza', data, function(){
//Gets executed when done.
});
// => [{}, {}, {}] returns an Array of Objects
```
#### CREATE
Adds a new record field to the db and updates it with the data that is given.
```javascript
DD.create( data, function(){
//Gets executed when done.
});
```
#### UPDATE
Update a record.
```javascript
DD.update( id, data, function(){
//Gets executed when done.
});
```
#### DESTROY
Removal is not possible. The record field will be made empty so count as inactive.
```javascript
DD.destroy( id, function(){
//Gets executed when done.
});
```
#### DB
If you want to provide al the info to a client side application you can just dump the entire db.
```javascript
DD.db() // return entire db
```
## Testing
To run the tests, first `cd` into the test dir, edit the `test_config.json` and run:
```bash
npm test
```
