Datastore

Datastore is a powerful storage system designed to persistently store user and game data, such as items and leaderboards. It ensures data consistency across sessions and games, allowing different servers to access and modify the same set of data. This Datastore struct contains a set of functions for manipulating data.

Functions

void GetAsync(string key, function callback boolean, string, string, DatastoreKeyInfo?)

SERVER ONLY 

Get the latest value and its associated datastoreKeyInfo with the provided key, and call the callback function when the Get operation is completed Returns 'nil' if the key does not exist or if the latest value has been deleted

• key The key for which the value is requested
• callback The callback function to be executed when the Get operation is completed
  1. isSuccess This parameter indicates if the request has been successful
  2. message If the request has not been successful, you will get an error message
  3. value The value in the datastore with the given key
  4. info DatastoreKeyInfo includes the version number, date and time the version was created, and metadata if it exists

 -- example GetAsync
 local datastore = YaDatastoreAPI.GetDatastore("backpack")

 local key = "testKey"
 local function callback(isSuccess,message,value,info)
     print("whether request is success:",isSuccess)
     if isSuccess then
