Node-Webkit demo app

node-webkit is an app runtime based on Chromium and node.js. You can write native apps in HTML and JavaScript with node-webkit. It also lets you call Node.js modules directly from the DOM and enables a new way of writing native applications with all Web technologies.

Loading bundled data into the database

Applications often ship with some data. We can fetch required files from the server or we can bundle the data files together with the application. The following code snippet shows loading JSON data from a resource file into a YDN-DB database.

 var fs = require('fs');
 var obj;
 fs.readFile('./data.json', 'utf8', function (err, data) {
   if (err) throw err;
   var json = JSON.parse(data);
   db.put('todo', json);
 });
