yamldb 1.0.4
YamlDB
YamlDB is an easy to use file-based database using YAML as the format for the
data represented in the file. This makes it possible to quickly change and add
values in the file itself while it can then be loaded and used as a dict in your
application.
It has the ability to use a dot notations for the keys instead of nested brackets.
It also creates parents if they do not exist.
Note: you must be using python 3.8 or newer
pip install yamldb
db = YamlDB(filename="data.yml")
db["a"] = "1"
db["b.c"] = "2"
d = db.get("a.b.c.d", default=3)
db.load()
reloads the file
db.delete("b.c")
deletes the key b.c
to save the state you have to also call db.save()
db.save()
saves the current db into the file
db.search("a.*.c")
quries the db

git clone https://github.com/cloudmesh/yamldb.git
cd yamldb
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install -r requirements-dev.txt

Then you can run the a test with
pytest -v --capture=no tests/test_config.py
