DataStore Helper is the DevLess internal API for working with data related to services. To use the DataStore class import it by inserting use App\Helpers\DataStore; at the very top of the php file, right after the <?php tag. Now you can use it to interact with the database.
 Query Records
To get all records:
DataStore::service('serviceName', 'tableName')->queryData();
You may pass in query parameters. eg: The size parameter gets a given number of results:
DataStore::service('serviceName', 'tableName')->size(7)->queryData();
Available query parameters include :

size($size)
Size as explained earlier makes it possible to return a given number of records.
offset($number)
It is also possible to skip a number of records with the offset parameter by providing the $number of records to skip.
OrderBy($field)
OrderBy makes it possible to order the records in ascending order based on the given $field.
where($column, $value)
You may query data where a given $column equals a given $value. where may also be used when updating particular records.
orWhere($column, $value)

  ['firstName'=>'edmond','lastName'=>'Mensah'],
  ['firstName'=>'charles','lastName'=>'Feggerson']

$data = ['firstName'=>'james'];
DataStore::service('serviceName', 'tableName')->where($id, $value)->update($data)
The $id parameter should be a string identifier.
 Delete tables or records
To delete records from the table:
DataStore('serviceName', 'tableName')->where($id, $value)->delete();
To truncate a table:
DataStore('serviceName', 'tableName')->truncate()
To drop table:
DataStore('serviceName', 'tableName')->drop()
 Instance Info
You may also get all info about the DevLess instance using the DataStore from within your application.
 $instance = DataStore::instanceInfo();
​
 $user = $instance['admin'];
 $app  = $instance['app'];
​
 var_dump($user, $app)
 Dump
DevLess also provides a key/value store. This could be used to store user configuration settings or any data not part of the service but relates to the current instance only
 use App\Helpers\DataStore;
​
 //stores the current time `time()` under the key created_on
 DataStore::setDump('created_on', time());
​
 //gets the value under the created_on key
 $data = DataStore::getDump('created_on');
 var_dump($data);
​
 //updates the created_on key to the new current time()
 DataStore::updateDump('created_on', time());
​
 $data = DataStore::getDump('created_on');
 var_dump($data);
​
 //removes the entire key/value created_on
 DataStore::destroyDump('created_on');
