Warning

This is a work in progress. Nothing is expected to work yet.

Installation

npm install @directus/data

The installation of a driver is also required.

Usage

Setup

import { DataEngine } from '@directus/data';
import { DataDriverPostgres } from '@directus/data-driver-postgres';

// Instantiate the engine
const engine = new DataEngine();

// Instantiate a driver
const pgDriver = new DataDriverPostgres({
	connectionString: 'postgresql://root:password@localhost/mydb',
});

// register the driver to the engine
await engine.registerStore('postgres', pgDriver);

Query data

// query data
await engine.query({
	root: true,
	store: 'postgres',
	collection: 'articles',
	fields: [
		{
			type: 'primitive',
			field: 'id',
		},
	],
});

The above is resulting in the following flow.

graph TB;
    api --> data
	subgraph da[data abstraction]
		direction TB
		data --> data-driver-x --> db1[(datastore)]
		data --> data-driver-y --> db2[(datastore)]
	end
