Loading JSON file into forrunner db file and vice versa ?

[goel-sunny]

I need to convert my JSON files into forrunner db files and after doing frontend changes then convert into back in JSON file and pass it to the server , because my JSON is in native so it only understand JSON file not db file . does any one have idea how to do this ?

Hi ya,

Bit confused here... why don't you just send and receive JSON? Is there a specific case where you need to manipulate the .db files directly?

[goel-sunny]

yes because i have a large data set in jSON format so for searching purpose and for loading performance i need data instant that can be possible via Database because if i do manipulation in JSON boject for searching , i did using recursion and check whether its have or not , if it have that store in array and not then move further check its children . this is for each entry in JSON this is time consuming and consuming so much memory so to avoid this i want to search in database .

Hey,

So my understanding from your message:

1. You have a large data set
2. You want to use ForerunnerDB because it makes it really easy to query that data set

I'm still a bit confused why you need to create / manipulate db files directly.

Surely you can do:

On the server: Get your data set and send it to the client in JSON format
On the client: Receive your data set in JSON and insert into ForerunnerDB and then query it

Can you explain a bit more what the issue you are trying to solve is? Thanks!

yes i have a large data set .

i am using Angular 4 primeNG treetable view in which i am sending JSON data object as a argument and it display to me ,

for small dataset its loading and searching is good but for large it fails so for that i am trying to send some data i.e on Demand from database .

but in my secenerio i have server which is native so it only create data in JSON file .json extension not in forerunner DB file standard .

so that JSON file i want to give to the database when client send me request for the data and manipulate according to his/her need .

after manipulation i want export that data to JSON file and pass to the server component.

so can i do import and export of JSON file in this data or not .

[Irrelon]

Yes you can import and export from ForerunnerDB in JSON format easily.

To import just create a collection and use insert() or setData().

To export, simply run a find query without any query object fields:

var myJson = collection.find({});
// Now send the myJson to the server or wherever.

or you can suggest me something for searching something in large nested JSON data set quickly .
i am using the following given approach , so you have any please suggest

filterFields(object) {
    let res = false;
        if (object.name) {
            let name = object.name;
            res = name.toLowerCase().includes(this.globalFilter.value.toString().toLowerCase())
        }
    return res;
}

filterChildren(children, parent) {
    let res = false;
    if (children) {
        children.map(child => {
            let _fields = this.filterFields(child.data);
            let _children = this.filterChildren(child.children, child);
            res = _fields || _children || res;
        });
        parent.expanded = res;
    }
    return res;
}


filter(node) {
        let res = false ;
        res=  this.filterFields(node.data) || this.filterChildren(node.children,node);
        return res;
    }

among searching via above solution or via forrunnerDB , which one is good option ?

[goel-sunny]

I am using the below code for printing the JSON data on the console but nothing is happen , no error nothing.

just running the following code using node connection.js command

Connection.js file

I am doing so
`var ForerunnerDB = require("forerunnerdb");
var fdb = new ForerunnerDB();
var db = fdb.db("jardatabase");
var collection = db.collection("first");
collection.insert("./data.json");
// try with as well
//collection.insert("data.json");
console.log(" lets see any possiblites"+collection.find({}));

`
