DBcord

A relational database stored as Discord messages.

WHY???

Why not?

How?

Metal and magic.

I mean, how do I actually use this monstrosity?

The main code is in utilities/db.js. Feel free to copy that over to your own bot project. Along with all the files it depends on. Hurrah.

Or, you can run this whole thing as-is using the following process:

1. git clone
2. npm install
3. echo 'module.exports = "blahblahblahtoken.token.supersecret";' > token.js

You'll want to comment out the line db.connect("565467535881797647") in index.js for the moment.

4. node index.js
5. bot.createServer("name", "region")

Copy the ID from the response and insert it back into the line you commented out earlier. Reinstate that line.

(Or you could just use the ID of a server that you and the bot are already in, but pssshshhhh.)

Other cool stuff

• local cache, only fetch more into cache when needed
• listen for changes by other users and update cache to match

What features are planned?

• indexing
• 200% more epic
• I probably forgot something SUPER important so open an issue

Database API

Database

Create a new database. Each database manages one guild.
new dbcord.class() → (db instance)

Link the database to a guild.
db.connect(guildID) → void

Read column names and use them in subsequent queries.
db.registerNames(channelResolvable) → Promise: void

Register an index.
db.registerIndex(channelResolvable) → (index instance)

Create or update column names for a table.
db.schema(channelResolvable, data [, into]) → Promise: Row

Fetch all the messages in the channel for instant retrieval of all data without needing an index.
db.fetchChannel(channelResolvable) → Promise: void

Insert data into the database. (Crud)
db.add(channelResolvable, data) → Promise: Row

Get data from the database. (cRud)
db.get(channelResolvable, options) → Promise: Array: Row // Promise: Row // Promise: Array: value // Promise: value

Edit data in the database. (crUd)
db.update(channelResolvable, options, slice, data) → Promise: Array: Row

Delete data from the database. (cruD)
db.delete(channelResolvable, options) → Promise: void

Execute an advanced SQL-like query.
db.query(channelResolvably, queryString) → Promise: any

Index

Prepare the index for use.
index.setup() → Promise: self

Delete the existing index and create a new one using the data in the channel. This can be used to fix inconsistencies in the index.
index.regenerate() → Promise: Array: Message

The index will otherwise manage itself when the database it is linked to is modified.
