Hello programmers! I was working on a game project, and I made this module for optimizing the Datastore queues, so it won’t fill up as much.
It’s a ModuleScript with an API for caching Datastore values before publicly getting them.
Here’s a link, before I get to the examples:
https://www.roblox.com/library/4049083273/DataStoreCache
If you have any suggestions, feedback, etc. let me know. It helps a lot 
Quick Documentation
DataStoreCacheModule.new(name [, scope]) - Returns a new DataStoreCache instance that shares the API.
DATASTORECACHE METHODS
DataStoreCache:set(key, value) - Sets the value of the key.
DataStoreCache:get(key) - Gets the value assigned to the provided key. If it doesn’t exist in the cache, then it’s ripped from the DataStore then cached.
DataStoreCache:flush(key) - Saves the value assigned to the provided key to the DataStore.
DataStoreCache:flushAll() - The same as :flush() but it flushes all keys to the DataStore, so you don’t need to provide a key.
Player join/leave implementation
In a Script, inside of ServerScriptService, the module is in the modules folder: ServerScriptService.Modules
local players = game:GetService("Players")
local DataStoreCache = require(script.Parent.Modules:WaitForChild("DataStoreCache"))
local datastores = {}
players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
local datastore = DataStoreCache.new(plr.UserId .. "_save")
datastores[plr.Name] = datastore
local save = datastore:get("save")
if(save ~= nil) then
-- Do whatever happens when a player has a save.
else
-- Give the player a save.
save:set("save", 0)
end
end)
players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
local datastore = datastores[plr.Name]
-- Save to the datastore.
save:flushAll() -- Since there's one value, it shouldn't overflow the DataStore's limits.
end)
If you get it, please leave feedback, it’ll help me improve my code in the future and it’s just overall helpful. If you make anything with it, link it! I’d love to see what you make with it.
