NeDB is the only suggested or featured tool as an embedded persistent database for Electron by Electron, currently. – http://electron.atom.io/community/
It’s also could be useful to store user settings if settings are complex.
Why NeDB could be a better solution on this case?
Embedded persistent or in memory database for Node.js, nw.js, Electron
and browsers, 100% JavaScript, no binary dependency. API is a subset
of MongoDB’s and it’s plenty fast. – NeDB
Creating or loading a database:
var Datastore = require('nedb')
, db = new Datastore({ filename: 'path/to/datafile', autoload: true });
// You can issue commands right away
Inserting a document:
var doc = { hello: 'world'
, n: 5
, today: new Date()
, nedbIsAwesome: true
, notthere: null
, notToBeSaved: undefined // Will not be saved
, fruits: [ 'apple', 'orange', 'pear' ]
, infos: { name: 'nedb' }
};
db.insert(doc, function (err, newDoc) { // Callback is optional
// newDoc is the newly inserted document, including its _id
// newDoc has no key called notToBeSaved since its value was undefined
});
Finding documents:
// Finding all inhabited planets in the solar system
db.find({ system: 'solar', inhabited: true }, function (err, docs) {
// docs is an array containing document Earth only
});
The list goes on…
