Exercise 8.1 – Building and testing data stores

We will create a DataManager module from scratch by following a few steps in this exercise. You can use the example DataManager that we made earlier in the chapter to help you. However, it is highly recommended that you try to mix whatever you have learned from the individual sections.

Once we have created our DataManager, we will create a server script that handles incoming requests to purchase tools. This way, we learn how to verify incoming requests from a client that is directly involved with the data stores.

Exercise

We will start by making our DataManager module. Follow these steps:

1. Create a new ModuleScript inside of the ServerScriptService service and name it DataManager.
2. Inside DataManager, create a table named DataManager at the top of the script and return this table at the bottom of the script.
3. Declare a new variable named DataStore with the name PlayerData using the :GetDataStore() function...
