struct-to-json-db 0.1.2

struct-to-json-db is a minimalist file-based database designed for straightforward software applications. It leverages the Serde crate to seamlessly serialize and deserialize a HashMap of structured data to and from JSON files, ensuring simplicity and ease of use.

# Example code 
For a practical example, check out the [example code repository](https://github.com/acscoder/struct-to-json-db-test).

### Get started 
To get started, add the crate to your `Cargo.toml` file:
```
[dependencies]
struct-to-json-db = {  path = "https://github.com/acscoder/struct-to-json-db.git" } 
```
or 
```
[dependencies]
struct-to-json-db = "x.x.x" 
```

### Configuration
To configure struct-to-json-db, use the auto_json_db_config! macro to specify the directory where your JSON files will be stored:
```rust
struct_to_json_db::auto_json_db_config!("./db/");
```
Note: Ensure that the path ends with a slash (/). For example, "./db/" is correct, but "./db" is not.
 
### Adding the Macro to Your Struct
Use the #[auto_json_db] macro for your struct to automatically add a unique ID and additional methods:
```rust
#[auto_json_db]
struct Post {
    title: String,
    description: String,
    categories: Vec<String>
}
```
This macro will add the following:

A unique id (idx: u64) to the Post struct.

A `new` method for creating new instances.

A `get_all` method to retrieve all saved posts from the JSON file as a HashMap with idx as the key and Post object as the value.

A `save` method to save a single Post to the JSON file.

A `save_vec` method to save a vector of Post objects to the JSON file.

A `get_by_id` method to retrieve a Post by its idx.

A `remove_by_id` method to remove a Post by its idx.

A `clear` method to remove all Post objects.
