Lionstore
a low impact, reliable alternative to ProfileService and DataStore2.
Lionstore is meant to be a low impact, reliable alternative to ProfileService and DataStore2.
Lionstore aims to be as minimal as possible yet powerful. Having the capability of ProfileService’s session locking, and using backups like DataStore2, lionstore provides a robust way to save your data.
Lionstore is fault tolerant. If your data becomes corrupted, no problem; enter habitats , a way to catch errors and mark them from saving before it gets deleted. Partitions are a powerful feature of the library. The reason why it’s so lightweight is that it gives you the ability to split the allocation of your data into multiple partitions. No need for ordered data stores anymore. Every time a player’s data gets loaded, a partition gets discarded so there’s a revision history based on how many partitions exist.
Lionstore is low impact. Data is only retrieved once, and periodically sends a lock request every 4 minutes per session.
The API is very minimal. Everything is already implemented for you. You don’t need to store player objects in tables, it does it for you. Session locking means that if a player rejoins while the past server is saving, data won’t be lost.
There’s no set functions, only update. Data automatically get reconciled upon load.
Lionstore automatically keeps profiles alive as long as the player has not left. Saves are brute force and will be retried until the save succeeds.
Usage:
local Lionstore = require(script.Parent.Lionstore)
Lionstore.SetInfo({
Partitions = 9,
Default = {Log = 0},
HandleLocked = function(Player)
print(Player.Name .. " has data loaded elsewhere")
local Profile = Lionstore.GetProfile(Player)
Profile.Release.Event:Wait()
print("other servers done")
return true
end,
HandleCorruption = function(Player, Data)
print(Player.Name .. " has bad data")
local File2 = Data.Data[2]
if File2 then
print('revert')
Data.Data[1] = File2
Data.Corrupted = false
return true
end
end,
BeforeSave = function(Player, Data)
print(Player.Name .. " is about to save")
return Data
end,
BeforeInitialGet = function(Player, Data)
print(Player.Name .. " has data")
return Data
end,
})
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
local Profile = Lionstore.new("key2825122", Player)
Profile:habitat(function(Data)
Profile:update(function()
Data.Log += 1
return Data
end)
print("person logged in; " .. Data.Log)
end)
end)
