The Need for an API
Lab: Data Store – Planning the Requirements
Video Runtime: 09:16
Let’s talk about why we want an API for this component. Some of the reasons include:
- Developers using the Data Store do not need to know the implementation. They don’t need to know if it’s built in OOP, static class, or procedural. Rather, the API wires to the Data Store. It hides away the implementation, exposing public facing procedural functions to interact with it.
- Future proofs your work.
- Makes it easier to work with the Data Store.
Once upon a time, there was a developer... You! This is going to be a good story...
