🚀 Simplified syntax with db.update, new adapter for more file format, consistent presets, automatic write error retry, and a TS error fix!

What's New

• Simplified Syntax: Introducing db.update for easier updates and writes.
• Flexible Adapters: Added DataFile adapters for supporting various formats like YAML , JSON5, ... and adding features like encryption with minimal code.
• Automatic Retry: Resolves write errors, especially for Windows users.

Breaking Changes

• Node 16 Dropped: discontinued support for Node 16.
• Consistent Naming: Renamed presets for consistency:
  • JSONPreset to JSONFilePreset
  • JSONSyncPreset to JSONFileSyncPreset.

Code Examples

If you were using the JSONPreset, please rename it

- import { JSONPreset } from 'lowdb/node'
+ import { JSONFilePreset } from 'lowdb/node'

Enjoy the simplified syntax with db.update

- db.data.posts.push(newPost)
- await db.write()
+ await db.update(({ posts }) => posts.push(newPost))

Easily support other formats:

const yamlAdapter = new DataFile('db.yaml', {
  parse: YAML.parse,
  stringify: YAML.stringify
})
const db = new Low(yamlAdapter, { posts: [] })
