INTERNAL USE ONLY
This package contains the AWS Amplify DataStore category and is intended for internal use only. To integrate Amplify into your app, please use aws-amplify.
Amplify DataStore provides a programming model for leveraging shared and distributed data without writing additional code for offline and online scenarios, which makes working with distributed, cross-user data just as simple as working with local-only data.

Please update these docs any time you find something that is incorrect or lacking. In particular, if a line in the docs prompts a question, take a moment to figure out the answer, then update the docs with the necessary detail.
Before you start reading through these docs, take a moment to understand how DataStore works at a high level. Additionally, we recommend first reading through docs.amplify.aws. The purpose of these docs is to dive deep into the codebase itself and understand the inner workings of DataStore for the purpose of contributing. Understanding these docs is not necessary for using DataStore. Lastly, before reading, take a look at the diagrams below.
- Conflict Resolution
- Contributing
- DataStore Lifecycle Events ("Start", "Stop", "Clear")
- This explains how DataStore fundementally works, and is a great place to start.
- Getting Started (Running against a sample app, etc.)
- Namespaces
- How DataStore uses Observables
- Schema Changes
- Storage
- Sync Engine
- "Unsupported hacks" / workarounds
Note: relationships with dotted lines are explained more in a separate diagram.

Note: All green nodes belong to the Sync Engine.
