What KVStore.io is?

KVStore.io is a simple storage service based on a “key/value” data modeling: you can easily organize data in dictionaries, where your keys map to values, both of which are simple strings. Furthermore, you may create one or more dictionaries that are called collections.

Although very simple, this approach is very flexible and powerful, because it does not imply any specific data format.

Typical use-cases:

• publish a static web site (eg. GitHub pages) and need to collect data from your web forms,
• share run-time variables in a distributed environment, eg. micro-services
• build an app and need to store data centrally,
• read hardware sensors from your Arduino board and store in the Cloud to be processed/analyzed later
• log events/statuses outside of your infrastructure, eg: need to keep a book of latest live “pings”

Please, check out the main website for docs, tutorials and examples: https://www.kvstore.io

Refer to the official KVStore.io API documentation on Mashape

Use-cases

KVStore.io (v0.2.x) supports two different uses:

• RESTful API intended for server-to-server environments (e.g. to manage server configurations, to store dynamic data coming from user forms and so on…)
• client-side-only applications (like static pages, e.g. gh-pages) for data provided by users, typically web forms

Please note: you can use KVStore.io in both ways at the same time. The client-side-only feature can be enabled by setting the public_write collection flag (see docs below)

If you need to store data, such as user forms, but you just have a static HTML website (such as GitHub pages), then this is what you need!

In order to use this feature, follow these simple steps:

• go to the KVStore website
• login using your credentials (the email & password you submitted by invoking the users/signup endpoint)
• type the command js
• copy and paste the HTML snippet to your target static page (it will inject the JS needed to save data to KVStore.io)
• invoke the storage/update endpoint to set the regex used to verify your referer domain (for security reasons, the KVStore.io javascript code will be injected into pages that are served from domains matching this regex)
• invoke the collections/update endpoint to set the ‘public_write’ flag to be true. This enables the client-side-only feature (if false any attempt to write data fails)
• to store data, just invoke in your HTML page this javascript function: kvstoreio(collection, key, value, callback):
  • collection (string): the name of the collection on KVStore.io (it must exist)
  • key (string)
  • value (string)
  • callback (function, optional): async method invoked after the save has been completed

KVStore.io is a simple Key/Value API based storage service.
