# frozen_string_literal: true

# API to wrap up plugin store rows
class PluginStore
  attr_reader :plugin_name

  def initialize(plugin_name)
    @plugin_name = plugin_name
  end

  def get(key)
    self.class.get(plugin_name, key)
  end

  def get_all(keys)
    self.class.get_all(plugin_name, keys)
  end

  def set(key, value)
    self.class.set(plugin_name, key, value)

this thing is just a basic key value store. I cant store relations between tables there. I like SQL. And I need to use it for the plugin I want to create.

I can understand this problem applies to people that want to create plugins that “non technical people” can install and uninstall. I am not one of those people. So I would be glad if we could go back to the topic.
