Memory Store

The store/memory package provides a fully in-memory implementation of Chronicle's store.Store interface. It requires no external dependencies and is safe for concurrent use via sync.RWMutex.

When to use

• Unit tests and integration tests
• Local development and examples
• Prototyping before choosing a production backend

Not suitable for production — all data is lost when the process exits.

Import and constructor

import "github.com/xraph/chronicle/store/memory"

mem := memory.New()

New() returns a *memory.Store that implements all 6 sub-store interfaces plus Migrate, Ping, and Close. All three lifecycle methods are no-ops.

Usage with chronicle.New

import (
    "github.com/xraph/chronicle"
    "github.com/xraph/chronicle/store"
    "github.com/xraph/chronicle/store/memory"
)

mem := memory.New()
adapter := store.NewAdapter(mem)

c, err := chronicle.New(chronicle.WithStore(adapter))

Usage with the Forge extension

import "github.com/xraph/chronicle/extension"

mem := memory.New()
ext := extension.New(extension.WithStore(mem))

The extension calls store.NewAdapter internally — no need to do it yourself.

Interfaces implemented

memory.Store satisfies at compile time:

• audit.Store
• stream.Store
• verify.Store
• erasure.Store
• retention.Store
• compliance.ReportStore
• store.Store (composite)
