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.
