Data Store Lab

The starter kit for the Data Store hands-on coding lab series on Know the Code.

What is a data store?

A data store provides you with a centralized, globally available, and persistent way to store values (data and state) and configuration parameters.

3 Different Architectures

In this lab series and plugin, you'll build the data store in 3 different ways:

• Procedural - all function based
• Static Class - procedural wrapped inside of a class and using static methods and properties
• OOP - as an object
