Defining the Basics of a Data Store

Let’s define the basic attributes and functionality of the data store. You’ll walk through the internal characteristics of the store as well as how to interact with it externally.

Topics covered:

• Put items into the store
• Get items out of the store
• Within the store:
  • Container to hold the items
  • Retain the items in the container
  • Store is data agnostic, meaning it doesn’t care what kind of data is stored in the container
  • Items within the store have a unique identifier, i.e. so we can find and interact with each item in the store
