Lapis
A Roblox DataStore abstraction that offers:
- Session Locking - Documents can only be accessed from one server at a time. This prevents some bugs and duping methods.
- Validation - Ensure your data is correct before saving it.
- Migrations - Update the structure of your data over time.
- Retries - Failed DataStore requests will be retried.
- Throttling - DataStore requests will never exceed their budget and throw an error.
- Promise-based API - Promises are used instead of yielding.
- Immutability - By default, documents are deep frozen must be updated immutably. This can be disabled.
- Save Batching - Pending
Document:save()
and Document:close()
calls are combined into one DataStore request when possible.
- Auto Save - Documents are automatically saved every 5 minutes.
- BindToClose - All documents are automatically closed when the game shuts down.
This library was inspired by Quicksave.
