Easy JayStorm cloud data management

ItemStore API v2

Since now ItemStore API can be used on each providers including local and cloud storages. We want to keep both ItemStore API and JavaScript Language Query (JSLQ) in the future, so you can choose your data access syntax according your taste.
We've extented the ItemStore API with filtering functionality as well. You can choose to use jQuery 1.8.0+ or Q promise/qDeffered.js to make it happen.

Entity operations for LocalStore provider

Query HTML5 localStorage like nobody else before! Filter objects using the following operations startsWith(), endsWith(), contains(), length(), substr(), toLowerCase(), toUpperCase(), trim(), ltrim(), rtrim()

Entity operations for IndexedDB provider

Forget the crazy cursors of IndexedDB API and filter, order, project and page records using JayData ItemStore API or JSLQ, because orderBy(), take(), skip(), first(), single() operations are supported by IndexedDB provider! How cool is that?!

Node.js support on Windows

According to your feature requests JayData can be used on Node.js in Windows environment, too. Install the JayData library from NPM, type require('jaydata') and publish data on the server-side or consume data (with static schema in this case).

Events before/after entity modifications

Subscribe to beforeCreate, beforeUpdate, beforeDelete, afterCreate, afterUpdate, afterDelete events of entity types to simplify your data access code.

Todo.addEventListener('beforeCreate', function (source, newTodoItem) {
    newTodoItem.Created = new Date();
});
