[Feature Request] Simple key-value lookup

[tacman]

Great project, thanks for creating and sharing it.

My needs are pretty simple, I want a portable key/value lookup. I realize I can do this with sleek db already, but I'm wondering if there's an even more elegant way.

My psuedo-code for a web scraper, based on the way the Symfony cache interface works:

$url = 'http....';
$_id = md5($urll);
if (!$data = $store->findById($_id)) {
    $data['html'] = file_get_contents($url);
    $data['_id'] = $_id; 
    $store->insert($data);
}

Obviously, I can use a key and do a FindOneBy, but it seems like the experience would be optimized if the user can set their own key.

Hi @tacman to ensure compatibility with SleekDB v1 we decided to not lift that restriction for now. Setting your own ID is a frequently requested feature. We will implement that with the next major update.
