Documentation.

Requiring The Module.

local EzData = require(ReplicatedStorage.EzData)

Initiating the module.

  • Creates a data store with a given name. (Has a default name if you do not pass one).
EzData.init("Example_Data_Store_Name")

Getting Players Data

  • Will return the players data, if it was successful( true or false), and any errors.
local PlayerData, Succ, Err = EzData.getPlayerData(Player)

Saving Players Data

  • Will return the Saved Data Table, If it was successful( true or false) and any errors.
local DataTable = {
    ["Time"] = 0,
    ["XP"] = 0,
}
local SavedData, Succ, Err = EzData.savePlayerData(Player, DataTable)

Erasing Players Data.

local DefaultDataTable = {
    ["Level"] = 1,
    ["XP"] = 0
}
EzData.erasePlayerData(Player, DefaultDataTable)

Updating Players Data

local Index = "Level"
local Value = 5
EzData.UpdatePlayerData(Player, Index, Value)

Auto-Create Data Instances.

  • Suggested to use a layout like the one in this example if you want it to automatically create leaderstats.
local PlayerData = {
    ["leaderstats"] = {
        ["Kills"] = 0,
        ["Deaths"] = 0,
    },
    ["Inventory"] = {
        ["Sword"] = true,
    }
}
EzData.loadDataInstances(Player, PlayerData)

Example
An uncopylocked place free to use.

just a suggestion to shorten the lines at Load private function

instead of these if statements,

	local ClassType = ""
	if typeof(V) == "table" then
		ClassType = "Folder"
	elseif typeof(V) == "string" then
		ClassType = "StringValue"
	elseif typeof(V) == "number" then
		ClassType = "NumberValue"
	elseif typeof(V) == "boolean" then
		ClassType = "BoolValue"
	end

you can shorten it to

	local function title(s)
		return s:sub(1, 1):upper() .. s:sub(2, #s)
	end
	
	local _type = type(V)
	local instanceType = _type == "table" and "Folder" or `{title(_type)}Value`
    instanceType = _type == "boolean" and "BoolValue" or instanceType -- an exception cause "BooleanValue" doesn't exists

overall, :ok_hand:

Cool idea, but I don’t see any reason to use this as it just falls short in the sea of already existing datastores, like ProfileService and Datastore2.

just noticed that you’re not using OOP, and just setting a variable in the module to the datastoreName that has been initialized, which is a problem when you need to use more than 1 datastore (or you could require and call init for every datastore)

im confused on which one is Artzified or foodman54 as they have the same badge and pfp

I like the idea, but I can’t find a reason to use this as there’s many types of datastores like ProfileService and DataStore2

I posted a v2. It uses OOP so you can use multiple data stores much more easily.
