Can't insert into db

[biomade]

I am hoping to use your NoSQL db in an Electron application. I want to learn how to use it first. I have a small nodeJS app set up to get started

I am trying to run this, based upon your documentation const db = require('nosql'); //create db var mydb = db.load('db/mydatabase.nosql'); console.log("created db") mydb('newsletter').insert({name: 'laurie', email: 'laurie@gmail.com'})

I am presented with this error message. I do not understand what to use in place of mydb. Your documentation doesn't have a clear explanation

starting application created db C:\SourceCode\NoSQLTest\index.js:10 mydb('newsletter').insert({name: 'laurie', email: 'laurie@gmail.com'}) ^

TypeError: mydb is not a function at Object. (C:\SourceCode\NoSQLTest\index.js:10:1) at Module._compile (module.js:570:32) at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:579:10) at Module.load (module.js:487:32) at tryModuleLoad (module.js:446:12) at Function.Module._load (module.js:438:3) at Module.runMain (module.js:604:10) at run (bootstrap_node.js:394:7) at startup (bootstrap_node.js:149:9) at bootstrap_node.js:509:3 '

Hi @biomade, .load() opens DB, example:

var dbNewsletter = db.load('db/newsletter.nosql');
dbNewsletter.insert({ email: '...' });

var dbUsers = db.load('db/users.nosql');
dbUsers.insert({ email: '...' });

Thank you!
