# Stores

Stores are a way to share data between Commands and ExceptionHandlers.<br>

```java
LightDrop lightDrop = new LightDrop().hook(jda)
    .map(new MyCommand());
```

Create a store.

```java
Store ageStore = lightDrop.getStoreCluster().newStore("planetsAge");

ageStore.write("earth", "4,543 billion");
```

Get data from a store in a command.

```java
public class MyCommand {
    @Command(name = "earthage")
    public void test(CommandContext context) {
        context.getChannel().sendMessage("The age of the earth is " + context.getStore("planetsAge").readString("earth"));
    }
}
```
