-# jIO
-jIO is a promised-based JavaScript library that offers connectors to many storages (Dropbox, webdav, IndexedDB, GDrive, ...) using a single API. jIO supports offline use, replication, encryption and synchronization as well as querying of stored documents and attachments allowing to build complex client-side centric web applications.
-### jIO Documentation
-The documentation can be found on [https://jio.nexedi.com/](https://jio.nexedi.com/)
-### jIO Quickstart
-    git clone https://lab.nexedi.com/nexedi/jio.git
-    npm install
-    grunt server
-### jIO Code
-RenderJS source code is hosted on Gitlab at [https://lab.nexedi.com/nexedi/jio](https://lab.nexedi.com/nexedi/jio) (Github [mirror](https://github.com/nexedi/jio/) - please use the issue tracker on Gitlab)
-### jIO Test
-You can run tests after installing and building jIO by opening the */test/* folder

-  storages.**
-### Getting Started
+### jIO Documentation
-To set up jIO you should include jio.js, dependencies and the connectors for the storages
+The documentation can be found on [https://jio.nexedi.com/](https://jio.nexedi.com/)
-you want to use in the HTML page header (note that more dependencies may be required
-depending on type of storages being used):
-```html
+### jIO Quickstart
-<script src="RSVP.js"></script>
+    git clone https://lab.nexedi.com/nexedi/jio.git
-<script src="jio-latest.js"></script>
-```
-Then create your jIO instance like this:
-```javascript
-// create a new jio
-var jio_instance = jIO.createJIO({
-  type: "query",
-  sub_storage: {
-    type: "uuid",
-    sub_storage: {
-      "type": "indexeddb",
-      "database": "test"
-    }
-  }
-});
-```
-### Documents and Methods
-Documents are JSON strings that contain *metadata* (properties, like a filename)
-and *attachments* (optional content, for example *image.jpg*).
-jIO exposes the following methods to *create*, *read*, *update* and *delete* documents
-(for more information, including revision management and available options for
-each method, please refer to the documentation):
-```javascript
-// create and store new document
-jio_instance.post({"title": "some title"})
-  .then(function (new_id) {
-    ...
-  });
-// create or update an existing document
-jio_instance.put(new_id, {"title": "New Title"})
-  .then(function () 
-    // console.log("Document stored");
-  });
-// add an attachement to a document
-jio_instance.putAttachment(document_id, attachment_id, new Blob())
-  .then(function () {
-    // console.log("Blob stored");
-  });
-// read a document
-jio_instance.get(document_id)
-  .then(function (document) {
-    // console.log(document);
-    // {
-    //   "title": "New Title",
-    // }
-  });
-// read an attachement
-jio_instance.getAttachment(document_id, attachment_id)
-  .then(function (blob) {
-    // console.log(blob);
-  });
-// delete a document and its attachment(s)
-jio_instance.remove(document_id)
-  .then(function () {
-    // console.log("Document deleted");
-  });
-// delete an attachement
-jio_instance.removeAttachment(document_id, attachment_id)
-  .then(function () {
-    // console.log("Attachment deleted");
-  });
-// get all documents
-jio_instance.allDocs().then(function (response) {
-  // console.log(response);
-  // {
-  //   "data": {
-  //     "total_rows": 1,
-  //     "rows": [{
-  //       "id": "my_document",
-  //       "value": {}
-  //     }]
-  //   }
-  // }
-});
-```
-### Example
-This is an example of how to store a video file with one attachment in local
-storage. Note that attachments should be added after document creation.
-```javascript
-// create a new localStorage
-var jio_instance = jIO.createJIO({
-  "type": "local",
-});
-var my_video_blob = new Blob([my_video_binary_string], {
-  "type": "video/ogg"
-});
-// post the document
-jio_instance.put("myVideo", {
-  "title"       : "My Video",
-  "format"      : ["video/ogg", "vorbis", "HD"],
-  "language"    : "en",
-  "description" : "Images Compilation"
-}).then(function (response) {
-  // add video attachment
-  return jio_instance.putAttachment(
-    "myVideo",
-    "video.ogv",
-    my_video_blob
-  });
-}).then(function (response) {
-  alert('Video Stored');
-}, function (err) {
-  alert('Error when attaching the video');
-}, function (progression) {
-  console.log(progression);
-});
-```
-### Storage Locations
-jIO allows to build "storage trees" consisting of connectors to multiple
-storages (webDav, xWiki, S3, localStorage) and use type-storages to add features
-like revision management or indices to a child storage (sub_storage).
-The following storages are currently supported:
- LocalStorage (browser local storage)
- IndexedDB
- ERP5Storage
- DAVStorage (connect to webDAV, more information on the
-  [documentation](https://www.j-io.org/documentation/jio-documentation/))
-For more information on the specific storages including guidelines on how to
-create your own connector, please also refer to the [documentation](https://www.j-io.org/documentation/jio-documentation).
-### jIO Query
-jIO can use queries, which can be run in the allDocs() method to query document
-lists. A sample query would look like this (note that not all storages support
-allDocs and jio queries, and that pre-querying of documents on distant storages
-should best be done server-side):
-```javascript
-// run allDocs with query option on an existing jIO
-jio_instance.allDocs({
-  "query": '(fieldX: >= "string" AND fieldY: < "string")',
-  // records to display ("from to")
-  "limit": [0, 5],
-  // sort by
-  "sort_on": [[<string A>, 'descending']],
-  // fields to return in response
-  "select_list": [<string A>, <string B>]
-}).then(function (response) {
-  // console.log(response);
-  // {
-  //   "total_rows": 1,
-  //   "rows": [{
-  //     "id": <string>,
-  //     "value": {
-  //       <string A>: <string>,
-  //       <string B>: <string>
-  //     }
-  //   }, { .. }]
-  // }
-});
-```
-To find out more about queries, please refer to the documentation.
