InMemoryStorageProvider

Built-in zero-dependency in-memory storage provider.

Import​

import { InMemoryStorageProvider } from 'grafio';

Constructor​

new InMemoryStorageProvider(options?: InMemoryStorageProviderOptions)

Options​

interface InMemoryStorageProviderOptions {
  graphId?: string;  // default: 'default'
}

Usage​

import { InMemoryGraphFactory } from 'grafio';

// Default - uses InMemoryStorageProvider internally
const factory = new InMemoryGraphFactory();
const graph1 = factory.forGraph('default');

// Multiple isolated graphs
const graphA = factory.forGraph('graph-a');
const graphB = factory.forGraph('graph-b');

Features​

  • Zero dependencies — no external packages required
  • In-memory — data lost on process restart
  • Isolation — each provider instance is independent
  • Copy-on-write transactions — isolation without blocking

Limitations​

  • Not persistent (data exists only in memory)
  • Not shared across processes
  • No query language (use CypherEngine for queries)

Use Cases​

import { InMemoryGraphFactory } from 'grafio';

const factory = new InMemoryGraphFactory();

// Development and testing
const devGraph = factory.forGraph('dev');

// Unit tests
const testGraph = factory.forGraph('test');

// Scripting / CLI tools
const scriptGraph = factory.forGraph('script');

// Temporary data processing
const tempGraph = factory.forGraph('temp');
