Database Driver Options

Because we use Keyv, you are able to set your database driver to anything Keyv supports.

The list of options are available at https://www.npmjs.com/package/keyv but we will provide the two most common ones in this guide.

​
Defaults

The default storage adapter (the type of storage) is SQLite which will store your data in a file, if you use Git then this file will most likely be overwritten when you make an update to your files.

​
Setting a Database Driver

To set a database driver, add this bit of code to the theme config.

theme: SoftUI({
    dbdriver: String;
})

​
MongoDB

To add a driver like MongoDB you need to install the adapter with this command.

And then set the driver to your connection string such as this.

theme: SoftUI({
    dbdriver: "mongodb://localhost:27017/yourdb";
})

​
MySQL

To add a driver like MySQL you need to install the adapter with this command.

And then set the driver to your connection string such as this.

theme: SoftUI({
    dbdriver: "mysql://user:pass@localhost:3306/dbname";
})
