keystore

A simple RESTful key/value store

Dependencies

• Node
• Redis

Installation

npm install

Configuration

The service is configured through the following environment variables:

# The port to listen to (3000 default)
PORT=3000

# The redis host
REDIS_HOST=localhost

# The redis port
REDIS_PORT=6379

If REDIS_HOST is not defined, an in-memory (non persistent) data-store is used instead.

To start the service:

npm start

Usage

To add a new key/value

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{
    "key": "foo",
    "value": "bar"
}' http://localhost:3000/v1/store 

To get a key/value

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://localhost:3000/v1/store/foo

To update a key/value

curl -X PUT -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{
    "value": "bar2"
}' http://localhost:3000/v1/store/foo

To get all key/values

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://localhost:3000/v1/store

To delete a key/value

curl -X DELETE http://localhost:3000/v1/store/foo
