Add JSON Method

The add method allows you to insert a new object into a specified data file. Here's a step-by-step breakdown:

1. Creating Your Data Object:

Before using the add method, prepare your data object. This object should contain the properties relevant to your data model. For example:
```
const newData = {
  id: 123,
  name: "John Doe",
  age: 30,
  // Other properties...
};
```

2. Choosing the Data File (Dataname):

The dataname parameter represents the filename (without the .json extension) of the JSON file where you want to add the data.

You can specify the dataname directly or include subfolders if needed. For instance:

const dataname = "users"; // Refers to a file named "users.json"
// or
const dataname = "subfolder/users"; // Refers to a file in a subfolder

3. Invoking the `add` Method:

Use the add method to insert your data object into the specified file:
```
await db.add(dataname, newData);
```

4. Results and Acknowledgment:

Upon successful execution, the method returns an acknowledgment object with the following structure:

{
  "acknowledged": true,
  "message": "Data added successfully.",
  "results": [
   "xxxxV-xxxxE-xxxxR-xxxxS-xxxxE",
   // IDs of the added data
  ]
}

Best Practices:

Error Handling: Wrap the add method in a try-catch block to handle any exceptions that might occur during the process.
Validation: Validate your data object before adding it to ensure consistency and correctness.
Atomic Operations: Consider using transactions or atomic operations if you need to perform multiple actions (e.g., adding multiple records) as a single unit.

Remember that the add method is a powerful tool for managing your JSON data. By following these guidelines, you'll be able to maintain a professional and robust data management process. If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, feel free to ask! 😊
