Description
V2.0.0.0
Major Changes:
- Complete rebranding: DBAPI becomes SILODB (modDesc, scripts, console commands and API).
- Transition to ORM: Introduction of a structured data management system (CRUD: Create, Update, Delete, Find).
- Query Engine: Added QueryEngine (filtering, sorting, pagination) and SchemaValidator.
Breaking Changes:
- Removal of Key-Value: The old getValue, setValue, deleteValue and listKeys methods are removed.
- New Export: Scripts must now call SILODB instead of DBAPI.
Improvements:
- Updated ExampleDbUsage.lua with error handling.
Centralized Storage & VS Code Tooling for Modders
FS25_DBAPI is a streamlined persistence layer for Farming Simulator 25 mods. It replaces fragmented data handling with a centralized, JSON-backed FlatDB and provides a simple global API (g_globalMods[“FS25_DBAPI”].DBAPI) for namespaced key/value storage.
To supercharge your workflow, it comes with a dedicated VS Code extension featuring IntelliSense, snippets, and a live tree view to inspect your database files directly in the editor.
Why Use FS25_DBAPI?
- Zero Overhead: A minimal, savegame-safe persistence layer that requires no external database engines.
- Intuitive API: Clean methods for getValue, setValue, listKeys, and deleteValue.
- Developer Velocity: Drastically speed up coding with autocomplete, snippets, and workspace visualization.
- Cross-Mod Compatibility: Simplify data sharing between mods and streamline migrations between savegames.
- Scalable: Lightweight enough for tiny utility mods, yet robust enough for complex modpacks.
Quick Start for Developers
