a better client for the repl.it database

this is a project is to make it so that you can have tables in the replit db.

the main annoyance (for me) with replit is that it reverts a lot of database file changes, which forces you to use the repl.it database. also, you can't group together keys, and it takes FOREVER to install, due to it installing flask, aiohttp and a ton of other things you don't need for the database.

⚙️ installation

pip install repltable

🪴 usage

# if you are using this on replit
from repltable import db

# or...
from repltable import Database
db = Database("https://kv.replit.com/v0/...")


# repltable databases work like a dictionary
db.get(foo='bar')
>>> [{'foo': 'bar'}]

# repltable auto-creates tables if they don't exist
db.insert(dict(foo='bar'))

# you can get one, or get all matching documents
db.get_one(foo='bar')
>>> {'foo': 'bar'}


# you can also group keys together
from repltable import TableDatabase

table = TableDatabase.get("users")
# from here, it behaves as a regular database

table.get(foo='bar')
>>> [{'foo': 'bar'}]

# repltable auto-creates tables if they don't exist
table.insert(dict(foo='bar'))

# you can get one, or get all matching documents
table.get_one(foo='bar')
>>> {'foo': 'bar'}

❓ why not just use replit-py?

well, my goal is to make it so that you can use repl.it databases without having to use replit-py. replit-py has 27 dependencies. repltable has 2.

plus, repltable has more features:

• caching (auto-updates itself for accuracy!)
• groups of keys (named tables)
• uses more efficient queries (you can filter keys!)

repltable's Issues

faster replit db wrapper

I truly hope that I don't have to create this myself but if I really do I will:

Can anybody recommend any replit db wrappers that are faster than the basic one? It doesn't necessarily have to be complete, it just needs basic set/get. If you can recommend any, that would be quite useful.
