Data Module

The data module stores persistent save data. The cache module stores temporary session data.

Data Module

LAU provides 3 save slots: 1, 2, and 3.

Function	Arguments	Description
`data.save(slot, list)`	`number, list`	Saves a table to the specified slot.
`data.load(slot)`	`number`	Returns the table stored in that slot, or `null`.
`data.clear(slot)`	`number`	Permanently deletes all data in that slot.

lau-compiler.exe

varol mySettings = { speed = 25, autoSell = true }

data.save(1, mySettings)
print("[Data] Settings saved to Slot 1!")

varol loaded = data.load(1)
print("[Data] Loaded Speed: " + loaded.speed)

OUTPUT:

[Data] Settings saved to Slot 1! [Data] Loaded Speed: 25

Cache Module

The cache module is temporary session storage. It works like a small list of values you can add, read, remove, and reset during the current run.

Function	Returns	Description
`cache.set(key, value)`	`void`	Stores a value for the current session.
`cache.get(key)`	`any`	Gets a cached value, or `null` if it does not exist.
`cache.remove(key)`	`void`	Removes one cached value.
`cache.reset()`	`void`	Clears all cached values.

Example: Save And Read Cache Values

lau-compiler.exe

cache.set(1, "apples")
cache.set(2, "carrots")

print("[1] " + cache.get(1))
print("[2] " + cache.get(2))

OUTPUT:

[1] apples [2] carrots

Example: Remove And Reset Cache

cache.set(1, "hello")
cache.remove(1)

cache.set(1, 1)
cache.set(2, 2)
cache.reset()

cache.set(1, "farmMode")
print("Cache mode: " + cache.get(1))
