Rust-Based Key-Value Store Tool

Overview

This tool is a simple yet powerful key-value store, implemented in Rust. It allows users to set, get, and delete key-value pairs, with each key stored in a separate file on disk. Inspired by Android's Shared Preferences, it supports different data types like String, Integer, and Float.

Features

  • Set, Get, Delete Operations: Perform basic key-value operations.
  • Type Checking: Handles different data types, including strings, integers, and floats.
  • File-Based Storage: Each key-value pair is stored in a separate file for persistence.
  • Command-Line Interface: Easy to use with simple command-line arguments.

Installation

From crates.io

cargo install kvstore 

c

From Source

Ensure you have Rust and Cargo installed on your system. Follow these steps to install:

  1. Clone the repository:
    git clone [repository-url]
    
  2. Navigate to the project directory:
    cd my_kv_store
    
  3. Build the project using Cargo:
    cargo build --release
    

Usage

After building the project, you can run the tool using the Cargo run command followed by the operation you want to perform.

Set a generic Key-Value Pair

cargo run -- set <key> <value> [--type <type>]
  • <key>: The key for the value.
  • <value>: The value to store.
  • <type>: The type of the value (String, Integer, Float). Default is String.

Using set will infer a type for the value. If you want to specify the value, you can use one of the following instead:

  • setString
  • setInteger
  • setFloat

Get a Value

cargo run -- get <key>
  • <key>: The key of the value to retrieve.

Using get will return the type as well as the value - something like String:hello. If you want to specify the value, you can use one of the following instead:

  • getString
  • getInteger
  • getFloat

Delete a Key-Value Pair

cargo run -- delete <key>
  • <key>: The key of the value to delete.
