# Airomem-rs
[Release at crates.io](https://crates.io/crates/airomem) \
(Toy) persistence library for Rust inspired by [prevayler for java](https://prevayler.org/) and named after its wrapper [airomem](https://github.com/airomem/airomem).
> It is an implementation of the Prevalent System design pattern, in which business objects are kept live in memory and transactions are journaled for system recovery.
## Assumptions
- All data lives in memory guarded with `tokio::sync::RwLock`, reads are fast and concurrent safe.
- By default every command is saved to append-only journal file and immediately [fsynced](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/fsync.2.html).
By that, individual writes are slow, but they SHOULD survive crashes (e.g. power outage, software panic). \
However, you can set periodic sync or manual. See `JournalFlushPolicy` for more info.
Recommended for data that may be lost (e.g. cache, http session storage).
- I don't guarantee durability, it's created for toy projects or non-relevant data like http authorization tokens/cookies. https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/wal-reliability.html
## Features
- [x] - saving executed commands to append only file
- [x] - split journal log file if too big - while restoring data, all journal logs are loaded at once from disk to maximise throughput (and for simplicity reasons)
- [x] - snapshots for faster recovery

## Example
```rust
type SessionsStore = JsonStore<Sessions>;
#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize, Default, Debug)]
struct Sessions {
tokens: HashMap<String, usize>,
}
impl airomem::State for Sessions {
type Command = SessionsCommand;
fn execute(&mut self, command: SessionsCommand) {
match command {
SessionsCommand::CreateSession { token, user_id } => {
self.tokens.insert(token, user_id);
}
SessionsCommand::DeleteSession { token } => {
self.tokens.remove(&token);
}
}
}
}
#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize, Debug)]
enum SessionsCommand {
CreateSession { token: String, user_id: usize },
DeleteSession { token: String },
}
#[tokio::test]
async fn test_mem_commit() {
let dir = tempdir().unwrap();
let mut store: SessionsStore =
Store::open(JsonSerializer, StoreOptions::default(), dir.into_path())
.await
.unwrap();
store
.commit(SessionsCommand::CreateSession {
token: "access_token".to_string(),
user_id: 1,
})
.await
.unwrap();
let mut expected_tokens = HashMap::new();
expected_tokens.insert("access_token".to_string(), 1);
assert_eq!(store.query().await.tokens, expected_tokens);
}
```
