# 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.
- By default every transaction 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 manual sync. See `JournalFlushPolicy` for more info.
Recommended for data that may be lost (e.g. cache).
- I don't guarantee durability, it's created for toy projects or non-relevant data like cache.
## Features
- [x] - saving executed transactions 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
- [ ] - stable api

## Example
```rust
type UserId = usize;
type SessionsStore = JsonStore<Sessions, SessionsTx>;
#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize, Default)]
pub struct Sessions {
tokens: HashMap<String, UserId>,
operations: usize,
}
#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize)]
pub struct CreateSession {
token: String,
user_id: UserId,
}
impl Tx<Sessions> for CreateSession {
fn execute(self, data: &mut Sessions) {
data.operations += 1;
data.tokens.insert(self.token, self.user_id);
}
}
#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize)]
pub struct DeleteSession {
token: String,
}
impl Tx<Sessions, Option<UserId>> for DeleteSession {
fn execute(self, data: &mut Sessions) -> Option<UserId> {
data.operations += 1;
data.tokens.remove(&self.token)
}
}
#[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();
let example_token = "access_token".to_string();
let example_uid = 1;
store
.commit(CreateSession {
token: example_token.clone(),
user_id: example_uid,
})
.await
.unwrap();
let mut expected_tokens = HashMap::new();
expected_tokens.insert(example_token.clone(), example_uid);
assert_eq!(store.query().tokens, expected_tokens);
let deleted_uid = store
.commit(DeleteSession {
token: example_token,
})
.await
.unwrap();
assert_eq!(deleted_uid, Some(example_uid));
}
```
