# gkv

Extremely simple Key/Value store for Go (golang).

Currently comes with only one backend implementation - MySQL. `gkv` doesn't support transactions or other fancy features.

The only methods it supports are `Set(key, value)`, `Get(key)` and `Delete(key)`, where both `key` and `value` are strings. 

 

## Example Usage

#### 1. Create database table on your MySQL server, e.g.:

```sql

CREATE TABLE `key_value_store`

  `key` VARBINARY(32) PRIMARY KEY,

  `value` VARBINARY(128) NOT NULL

)

```

#### 2. Import `gkv` in your `.go` file:

```go

import "github.com/petrkotek/gkv"

```

#### 3. Use `gkv`!

```go

db, err := sql.Open("mysql", "user:pwd@tcp(localhost:3306)/test_db")

if err != nil {

    // TODO: handle error

}

kv, err := gkv.NewMySQLKeyValueStore(db, &gkv.SQLKeyValueStoreConfig{

    TableName:   "key_value_store",

    KeyColumn:   "key",

    ValueColumn: "value",

    MaxKeyLen:   32,

    MaxValueLen: 128,

})

if err != nil {

    // TODO: handle error

}

// set a value for the key

err = kv.Set("foo", "bar")

if err != nil {

    // TODO: handle error

}

// retrieve the value

value, err := kv.Get("foo")

if err != nil {

    // TODO: handle error

}

fmt.Print(value)

// delete the key

err = kv.Del("foo")

if err != nil {

    // TODO: handle error

}

kv.Close()

```

## Other Key/Value Stores for Go

This project is useful only for limited number of use cases (such as when you already have MySQL database/cluster running and don't want to use proper Key-Value database).

 

In many cases, safer choice will be using for instance one of these packages, which purely use Go and file-backed storage:

* [boltdb/bolt](https://github.com/boltdb/bolt)

* [steveyen/gkvlite](https://github.com/steveyen/gkvlite)
