Any chance to configure a Database to store data in future versions? #9

Hey guys, Hazel is a very nice projet, simple and useful. It would be nice if we could configure it to store data in a database. Any chance of it happens?

wkallhof commented 7 years ago

@marcoshmendes Which database setup are you using? I can certainly write something up to persist into a database.

Hi @wkallhof, thanks for response, and sorry about my delay to reply back. I'm using Hazel with local storage .md files. Would be nice if we could save it on a mongoDB or mysql for example.

Thanks again, hope see this feature in future versions. Congrats for this project, that's very nice and useful

This project looks super interesting! I'm also curious about alternative storage possibilities. Storing data in a database as @marcoshmendes suggests could be worth looking into. Would a StorageProvider wrapper around Knex.js, for example, be feasible?

Personally, I would love to be able to plug in git as a storage backend. That would keep data open for viewing/editing using other tools, plus you'd get versioning for free.

I'm looking at possibly using this in a distributed knowledge base system for brigadehub, and having the ability to configure a database would make it a no-brainer for integration (still may do it with fs option)

tl;dr: +1 on mongo db configurations.
