Constructor Setup

Quick Setup

const Wasteful = require("wastefuldb");
const db = new Wasteful();

Setup w/ Options

const Wasteful = require("wastefuldb");
const db = new Wasteful({
    feedback: true,  
    log: { enabled: true, dir: "./logger/" },
    path: `./data/`,
    serial: true,
    kill: true
});

feedback

When feedback is true, a message will be logged to the console (stdout) either confirming execution or displaying an error.

log

The log option will generate a text document and catalogs every execution of functions, errors, and the timestamps of when every event occurs.

The option argument can be a straight Boolean, or you can specify a directory you want your log file to be generated in by specifying a dir key and enabled the option with an enabled key.

path

When specifying a directory path, whatever given will become the location where functions will create, retrieve, and modify documents. Specifying a path has no effect on the log path option.

serial

serial, or serialization, allows entries to be created without being required to specify an id key. While true, entries created will have an identifier assigned based on the size of the directory, but you may still specify an identifier which takes priority over serialization identifiers.

kill

Setting this option to true will cause the current process running the database to terminate, throwing an error to the console (stderr). While false, the error is simply logged to the console (stdout).
