ItchDB

ItchDB is a Scratch Cloud Interface for making HTTP requests, managing a Cloud Database, and doing various things with the Scratch API. It allows for easy setup, but rich customizability. With just 4 lines of code, you can set up ItchDB in the Repl.it environment as an always-online cloud solution.

NOTE: If it's confusing, feel free to contact me on Discord at YodaLightsabr#6565.

Documentation

Itch.Database(config)

Creates a new Itch Database using the specified configuration object. Example:

var Database = new Itch.Database({
    username: "YodaLightsabr",  // The Scratch username to use when accessing the API
    password: "123456",         // The Scratch password to use when accessing the API
    project: "12345678",        // The Scratch project to connect to
    webserver: "true",          // Weather or not to enable the default webserver
    port: 8080                  // Only required if webserver is true; the port to open the webserver on
});

Database.start()

Initializes the database and cloud server. Example:

Database.start();

Database.query

Provides a set of functions for direct access to the database. (Uses the Quick.db database.) Example:

var Query = Database.query;

Query.get(key)

Get a key from Quick.db. Example:

console.log(Query.get("users"));

Query.set(key, value)

Set a key in Quick.db. Example:

Query.set("users", {});

Query.push(key, value)

Push to an array in Quick.db. Example:

Query.push("users.active", "YodaLightsabr");

Query.delete(key)

Delete a key from Quick.db. Example:

Query.delete("users");

Quick Setup

To quickly get set up, make sure you are using the latest stable ItchDB sprite in your Scratch project and that all cloud variables are properly linked. Then, make sure your index.js, or main file, contains:

const ItchDB = require('./itch.db.js');
const config = {
  username: "YodaLightsabr",
  password: process.env.PASSWORD,
  project: "483796537",
  webserver: true,
  port: 8080
};
var database = new ItchDB.Database(config);
database.start();

Make sure to update it to match your project.
