In this repository we have a very simple illustrative example of a usage of our ZooDb framework for building a modest-scale database, or "Zoo," to organize a collection of objects or concepts in a semi-structured form.
In this example, the ZooDb database is used to store a database of people with parent/child and friend relationships. The source data providing the content of the database is a collection of YAML files. YAML is a common and useful markup language to store structured data. You can google "YAML tutorial" or check out the language's Wikipedia page.)
The database object schemas are in schemas/. The schemas define what exactly
is being stored in the database.
The data, provided in YAML files, is in the folder data/.
Minimal JS code to load the people DB in memory is in peopledbjs/. If you want
to produce any different form of output, e.g., a handbook or print form of the
database, then you can use this code to load the database in memory and use it
to generate the required output.
A simple example static website, generated with the given data, is
in website/. The website
is powered by 11ty and parcel.
To build the website: refer to the README file
in the folder website/ folder.
