About DataStore

DataStore is the main component of a series of addons that serve as data repositories in game. Their respective purpose is to offer scanning and storing services to other addons.

The advantages of this approach are:

  • data is scanned only once for all client addons (performance gain).
  • data is stored only once for all client addons (memory gain).
  • addon authors can spend more time coding higher level features.
  • each module is an independant addon, and therefore has its own SavedVariables file, meaning that you could clean _Crafts without disturbing _Containers.

Scope : a note to contributing authors

The core of the database is based on my work in Altoholic, and is thus designed with multiple-account support in mind. If client addons want to store data from foreign accounts, the database will be ready for it. Nothing is final at this point though, feel free to contribute, as the concept can and will be perfected.

The scope of each addons is to provide common methods for client addons. For instance, DataStore_Crafts embeds LibPeriodicTable-3.1-Tradeskill allowing it to give more than just scanning & storing data. However, the goal is not to put _everything_ into these addons, they must be seen as an abstraction layer and a service provider, nothing more.

These libraries cannot and should not be embedded, as they all manage their respective SavedVariables.

Existing modules

Each module will exist as a separate addon, so that authors can package only the ones they want with their own project.

More modules will come later.

    Looks like archive is out of date. Newer version can be found on curseforge. And for other modules too.

    This should be updated soon seeing as its the same developer for Altoholic.

    Anyone know if/when this will be updated for 5.0.4? What other popular add-ons besides Altoholic use these libraries? I'm guessing Altoholic is the reason I installed it in the first place, but not positive.

    It's probably because of Altoholic you've got it indeed.
    As someone else mentioned, it's the same Project Manager for both addons so I'm guessing we're gonna see an update coming quite soon as Altoholic has recently been updated for 5.x

    the talent and grouping APIs were massively restructured.  That's probably blowing up Datastore and ACE3
