![nedb-promises](https://github.com/bajankristof/nedb-promises/blob/master/logo.svg "nedb-promises")

A dead-simple promise wrapper for [nedb](https://github.com/louischatriot/nedb#readme).

Check out the [docs](https://github.com/bajankristof/nedb-promises/blob/master/docs.md).

##### IMPORTANT
**As of `nedb-promises` `5.0.0` [nedb](https://github.com/louischatriot/nedb#readme) package has been replaced with a fork of the original package, [@seald-io/nedb](https://github.com/seald/nedb) to solve some vulnerability issues originating from `nedb`!**

```js
const Datastore = require('nedb-promises')
let datastore = Datastore.create('/path/to/db.db')

// #1
datastore.find({ field: true })
  .then(...)
  .catch(...)
  
// #2
datastore.find({ field: true })
  .exec(...)
  .then(...)
  .catch(...)

// #1 and #2 are equivalent

datastore.findOne({ field: true })
  .then(...)
  .catch(...)
  
datastore.insert({ doc: 'yourdoc' })
  .then(...)
  .catch(...)
  
// or in an async function
async function findSorted(page, perPage = 10) {
  return await datastore.find(...)
      .sort(...)
        .limit(perPage)
        .skip(page * perPage)
}
```

### Installation
```sh
npm install --save nedb-promises
```

### Usage
Everything works as the original module, with a couple of exceptions:
* There are no callbacks.
* `loadDatabase` has been renamed to [`load`](https://github.com/bajankristof/nedb-promises/blob/master/docs.md#Datastore+load).
* The cursor's `projection` method has been renamed to [`project`](https://github.com/bajankristof/nedb-promises/blob/master/docs.md#Cursor+project).
* You should call `Datastore.create(...)` instead of `new Datastore(...)`. This way you can access the original [nedb](https://github.com/louischatriot/nedb#readme) properties, such as `datastore.persistence`.
* As of v2.0.0 the module supports events 😎... Check out the [docs about events](https://github.com/bajankristof/nedb-promises/blob/master/docs.md#Datastore)!

#### load( )
You don't need to call this as the module will automatically detect if the datastore has been loaded or not upon calling any other method. 
```js
const Datastore = require('nedb-promises')
let datastore = Datastore.create('/path/to/db.db')
datastore.load(...)
  .then(...)
  .catch(...)
```

#### find( [query], [projection] ), findOne( [query], [projection] ), count( [query] )
These methods will return a Cursor object that works the same way it did before except when you call "exec" it takes no arguments and returns a Promise.
The cool thing about this implementation of the Cursor is that it behaves like a Promise. Meaning that you can `await` it and you can call `.then()` on it.

```js
const Datastore = require('nedb-promises')
let datastore = Datastore.create('/path/to/db.db')

//outside Promise chain
datastore.find(...)
  .then(...)
  .catch(...)
  
//insinde Promise chain
datastore.insert(...)
  .then(() => {
    return datastore.find(...)
  })
  .then(
    // use the retrieved documents
  )

;(async () => {
  await datastore.find(...).sort(...).limit()
})()
```

#### other( ... )
All the other methods will take the same arguments as they did before (except the callback) and will return a Promise.
