Storage
=======

.. versionadded:: 1.7.0

.. warning::

    This module is still experimental, and the API is subject to change in a
    future version.

Usage
-----

The idea behind the Storage module is to be able to load/store any number of
key-value pairs via an indexed key. The default model is abstract so you
cannot use it directly. We provide some implementations such as:

- :class:`kivy.storage.dictstore.DictStore`: use a python dict as a store
- :class:`kivy.storage.jsonstore.JsonStore`: use a
  `JSON <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON>`_ file as a store
- :class:`kivy.storage.redisstore.RedisStore`: use a `Redis <http://redis.io>`_
  database with `redis-py <https://github.com/andymccurdy/redis-py>`_


Examples
--------

For example, let's use a JsonStore::

    from kivy.storage.jsonstore import JsonStore

    store = JsonStore('hello.json')

    # put some values
    store.put('tito', name='Mathieu', org='kivy')
    store.put('tshirtman', name='Gabriel', age=27)

    # using the same index key erases all previously added key-value pairs
    store.put('tito', name='Mathieu', age=30)

    # get a value using a index key and key
    print('tito is', store.get('tito')['age'])

    # or guess the key/entry for a part of the key
    for item in store.find(name='Gabriel'):
        print('tshirtmans index key is', item[0])
        print('his key value pairs are', str(item[1]))

Because the data is persistent, you can check later to see if the key exists::

    from kivy.storage.jsonstore import JsonStore

    store = JsonStore('hello.json')
    if store.exists('tito'):
        print('tite exists:', store.get('tito'))
        store.delete('tito')


Synchronous / Asynchronous API
------------------------------

All the standard methods (:meth:`~AbstractStore.get`,
:meth:`~AbstractStore.put` , :meth:`~AbstractStore.exists`,
:meth:`~AbstractStore.delete`, :meth:`~AbstractStore.find`) have an
asynchronous version.

For example, the *get* method has a `callback` parameter. If set, the
`callback` will be used to return the result to the user when available:
the request will be asynchronous. If the `callback` is None, then the
request will be synchronous and the result will be returned directly.


Without callback (Synchronous API)::

    entry = mystore.get('tito')
    print('tito =', entry)

With callback (Asynchronous API)::

    def my_callback(store, key, result):
        print('the key', key, 'has a value of', result)
    mystore.get('plop', callback=my_callback)


The callback signature (for almost all methods) is::

    def callback(store, key, result):
        """
        store: the `Store` instance currently used.
        key: the key sought for.
        result: the result of the lookup for the key.
        """


Synchronous container type
--------------------------

The storage API emulates the container type for the synchronous API::

    store = JsonStore('hello.json')

    # original: store.get('tito')
    store['tito']

    # original: store.put('tito', name='Mathieu')
    store['tito'] = {'name': 'Mathieu'}

    # original: store.delete('tito')
    del store['tito']

    # original: store.count()
    len(store)

    # original: store.exists('tito')
    'tito' in store

    # original: for key in store.keys()
    for key in store:
        pass
