# User Data

Store and manage player data to enhance gameplay experience and retain progress.

There are two types of storage: `local_storage` and `platform_internal`. When writing to local storage, data is saved on the player's device. When writing to internal storage, data is saved on the platform's servers.

{% hint style="warning" %}
If you need to call storage methods in a sequence, make sure you wait for previous call to finish, so there is no potential data collisions.
{% endhint %}

#### Current Storage Type <a href="#current-storage-type" id="current-storage-type"></a>

Identify the default storage type to understand where data is being saved (local or server).

```javascript
playgama_bridge_storage_default_type()
```

Possible values: `local_storage,` `platform_internal`.

#### Support Check <a href="#support-check" id="support-check"></a>

Verify if the specified storage type is supported on the platform to ensure compatibility.

```javascript
playgama_bridge_storage_is_supported("platform_internal")
```

#### Availability Check <a href="#availability-check" id="availability-check"></a>

Check if the specified storage type is currently available for use to manage data storage effectively.

```javascript
playgama_bridge_storage_is_available("platform_internal")
```

#### <img src="/files/qkRz0XouRMuwHLVog6j8" alt="" data-size="line"> Load Data <a href="#load-data" id="load-data"></a>

Retrieve stored data based on a key or multiple keys to restore player progress or settings.

```javascript
// Load data by key
var keys = ["coins", "level"]
playgama_bridge_storage_get(json_stringify(keys))

// callback via Async Social Event
if async_load[? "type"] == "playgama_bridge_storage_get_callback" {
    if async_load[? "success"] {
        var values = json_parse(async_load[? "data"])
        var coins = values[0]
        var level = values[1]

        if is_undefined(coins) {
            // there is no stored data for key "coins"
        }

        if is_undefined(level) {
            // there is no stored data for key "level"
        }
    }
}
```

#### <img src="/files/qkRz0XouRMuwHLVog6j8" alt="" data-size="line"> Save Data <a href="#save-data" id="save-data"></a>

Save data to the specified storage with a key to retain player progress or settings.

```javascript
var keys = ["coins", "level"]
var values = [42, "dungeon"]
playgama_bridge_storage_set(json_stringify(keys), json_stringify(values))

// callback via Async Social Event
if async_load[? "type"] == "playgama_bridge_storage_set_callback" {
    if async_load[? "success"] {
        // your logic
    }
}
```

#### Delete Data <a href="#delete-data" id="delete-data"></a>

Remove data from the specified storage by key to manage player data and settings effectively.

```javascript
var keys = ["coins", "level"]
playgama_bridge_storage_delete(json_stringify(keys))

// callback via Async Social Event
if async_load[? "type"] == "playgama_bridge_storage_delete_callback" {
    if async_load[? "success"] {
        // your logic
    }
}
```

All data operations interact with the default storage type. You can specify the storage type as the second argument. Ensure the storage is supported and available before using it.

```javascript
var keys = ["coins", "level"]
var values = [42, "dungeon"]
var storage_type = "platform_internal"

playgama_bridge_storage_get(json_stringify(keys), storage_type)

playgama_bridge_storage_set(json_stringify(keys), json_stringify(values), storage_type)

playgama_bridge_storage_delete(json_stringify(keys), storage_type)
```
