Data types

Flintstone can store any data type that can be formatted into a string. By default this uses serialize(). See Changing the formatter for more details.

Options

Name	Type	Default Value	Description
dir	string	the current working directory	The directory where the database files are stored (this should be somewhere that is not web accessible) e.g. /path/to/database/
ext	string	.dat	The database file extension to use
gzip	boolean	false	Use gzip to compress the database
cache	boolean or object	true	Whether to cache `get()` results for faster data retrieval
formatter	null or object	null	The formatter class used to encode/decode data
swap_memory_limit	integer	2097152	The amount of memory to use before writing to a temporary file

Install to laravel

you can install this package with command :

composer require smh/flintstone

then Add the following line to app.php on config folder:

providers:

smh\Flintstone\FlintstoneServiceProvider::class,

aliases

'Flintstone' => \smh\Flintstone\FlintstoneFacade::class,

And run command

php artisan vendor:publish

Usage examples

you can set flintstone config on .env or not

for example enter to .env:

FlintstoneDatabaseName=flientstoneDB
FlintstoneConfig_dir=/storage/app
FlintstoneConfig_ext=.dat
FlintstoneConfig_gzip=true
FlintstoneConfig_cache=true

if you don't set env, flintstone set by default with confif\flintstone.php also if you need to database formatter set this property in confif\flintstone.php

for example


"formatter"=>new Json_formatter();

Then you can use it anywhere from the project by :

use smh\Flientstone;


// Load a database
$users = new Flientstone();

// Load a database
$users = new Flentstone('filename','[
        "dir"=>'/storage/app',
        "FlintstoneConfig_ext"=>'.dat',
        "FlintstoneConfig_gzip"=true
        "FlintstoneConfig_cache"=true]');

// Set a key
$users->set('bob', ['email' => 'bob@site.com', 'password' => '123456']);

// Get a key
$user = $users->get('bob');
echo 'Bob, your email is ' . $user['email'];

// Retrieve all key names
$keys = $users->getKeys(); // returns array('bob')

// Retrieve all data
$data = $users->getAll(); // returns array('bob' => array('email' => 'bob@site.com', 'password' => '123456'));

// Delete a key
$users->delete('bob');

// Flush the database
$users->flush();

Changing the formatter

By default Flintstone will encode/decode data using PHP's serialize functions, however you can override this with your own class if you prefer.

Just make sure it implements Flintstone\Formatter\FormatterInterface and then you can provide it as the formatter option.

If you wish to use JSON as the formatter, Flintstone already ships with this as per the example below:

<?php

use smh\Flintstone\Flintstone;
use smh\Flintstone\Formatter\JsonFormatter;

$users = new Flintstone('users', [
    'dir' => __DIR__,
    'formatter' => new JsonFormatter()
]);

Changing the cache

To speed up data retrieval Flintstone can store the results of get() in a cache store. By default this uses a simple array that only persist's for as long as the Flintstone object exists.

If you want to use your own cache store (such as Memcached) you can pass a class as the cache option. Just make sure it implements smh\Flintstone\Cache\CacheInterface.
