# 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

```bash
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:
   ```bash
   git clone [repository-url]
   ```
2. Navigate to the project directory:
   ```bash
   cd my_kv_store
   ```
3. Build the project using Cargo:
   ```bash
   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
```bash
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
```bash
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
```bash
cargo run -- delete <key>
```
- `<key>`: The key of the value to delete.
