A simpler way to manage data!

Load Manager is a Construct 3 plugin that improves the way you load project files, static data, local data and its storage!

It allows you to work with multiple files without the struggles, fostering better project management and separation of concerns.

Load the data from files and storage directly to objects! No more AJAX.lastData! No more LocalStorage!

Best for loading screens

Queue multiple files, decide if loading them all at once (asynchronously) or sequentially and even add a minimum fake time, to show your best jokes messages in the loading screen!

Explaining the problem

All games tend to have data in 3 different forms:

• A database of static information (character names, world locations, etc).
• An initial state of the game when it loads for the first time (initial items in inventory, initial stats, etc).
• And a changed saved state of the game (unlocked achievements, money, experience, etc).

How would you load this natively in Construct?

You normally have a loading screen that does the following for each file/record you have/store:

1. Check if local storage exists.
2. If it exists, get the data.
3. Load the data to an object: such as an Array, Dictionary or JSON.
4. If the local storage is missing, do an AJAX request or manually add initial data through the EventSheet.
5. Using AJAX, if successful, load the initial data to an object in memory.

With Loader Manager you can just do it with one single line.

It fosters better code

While you can create a database in code:

Data and logic, should be separated for better management. If you want to modify it, or just read it. So, creating a JSON file is the best:

But how do we load it? AJAX request, then load it to the object... No! With Load Manager, you don't have to struggle.

It improves readability

If you want to load a static database, in Construct you do it like this:

If you want to load a save state, that fallbacks to default initial data, in Construct you do it like this:

With Load Manager, you only use one single line for both cases. And another one to storage the data. Load Manager will load the saved data if found, or use the file as fallback as the initial state.
