Data Files in Kawkab

Data files in Kawkab are used to organize and store static or dependent data that is utilized in your application. This data could be lists, settings, or any other fixed information you wish to use in your project in an organized manner.

Creating Data Files with Kawkab

In this guide, we will show you how to create new data files using the Kawkab framework and integrate them into your application.

Step 1: Creating a New Data File

To create a new data file using Kawkab, run the following command in the terminal:

npm run kawkab data:make <name> [module]

Parameter Details:

  • <name>: The name of the data file you want to create (e.g., cats).
  • [module]: The name of the module that contains the data (optional, default is main).

Example of Command Execution:

npm run kawkab data:make cats

This command will create a data file named cats inside the main module.

What Happens After Running the Command?

  • A data file named 'cats' will be created in the specified module.
  • This file will contain data that can be used in your application. For example, this guide will create a file containing a list of popular cat breeds.

Step 2: Using the Data in Your Application

Once the data file is created, you can import and use it within your project files.

Importing the Data:

To import the data that has been created, use the following code in your file:

import catsData from '../data/cats';

Contents of the Data File:

The cats data file will contain the following data (cat breeds):

export default {
  data: [
    "Persian",        // Persian Cats
    "Maine Coon",     // Maine Coon Cats
    "Bengal",         // Bengal Cats
    "Siamese",        // Siamese Cats
    "Ragdoll",        // Ragdoll Cats
    "British Shorthair", // British Shorthair Cats
    "Sphynx",         // Sphynx Cats
    "Abyssinian",     // Abyssinian Cats
    "Scottish Fold",  // Scottish Fold Cats
    "Birman"          // Birman Cats
  ]
}

Using the Data in Your Application:

Now, you can access and use the data easily anywhere in your application:

const data = catsData.data;
console.log(data);  // Will print the list of cat breeds

Additional Notes

  • Ensure that the path you use to import the data is correct according to your project’s folder structure.

  • You can use the same approach to create other data files by changing the name of the created file (e.g., dogs instead of cats).

  • If you are using multiple modules, you can specify the module that contains the data using the [module] parameter:

npm run kawkab data:make cats customModuleName

Conclusion

Creating data files with Kawkab helps organize and streamline the management of static data in your application. With Kawkab, you can easily create these files and integrate them into your application quickly. Enjoy using Kawkab to build your applications more efficiently and flexibly!
