Database Driver #

Starting from 1.5.0-beta.1, you are able to use database drivers! This means you can use MongoDB, MySQL, etc for your storage needs. This will store everything that needs to be persistent. (Feeds are stored seperately)

Database Driver Options #

Because we use Keyv you are able to set your database driver to anything Keyv supports.

The list of options are at https://www.npmjs.com/package/keyv but we will provide the two most common ones on this guide.

Defaults #

The default storage adapter (the type of storage) is SQLite which will store your data in a file, if you use Git then this file will most likely be overwritten when you make an update to your files.

Setting a Database Driver #

To set a database driver, add this bit of code to the theme config.

dbdriver: "your dbdriver"

MongoDB #

To add a driver like MongoDB you need to install the adapter with this command.

npm install --save @keyv/mongo

And then set the driver to your connection string such as this.

mongodb://user:pass@localhost:27017/dbname

MySQL #

To add a driver like MySQL you need to install the adapter with this command.

npm install --save @keyv/mysql

And then set the driver to your connection string such as this.

mysql://user:pass@localhost:3306/dbname
