Create database

Register items, skills, states, and other game data.

Create database

The database is where you register reusable game data such as items, skills, classes, states, or custom objects.

Register data in provideServerModules

import { provideServerModules } from "@rpgjs/server";
import { Potion } from "./database/Potion";

provideServerModules([
  {
    database: {
      Potion
    }
  }
]);

Once registered, you can use string IDs from the server:

player.addItem("Potion", 1);

Add data dynamically on a map

You can also register data at runtime:

map.addInDatabase("treasure-coin", {
  id: "treasure-coin",
  name: "Treasure Coin",
  price: 500
});

player.addItem("treasure-coin", 1);

What belongs in the database

• items
• skills
• states
• classes
• custom server-side objects used by your game

Recommended flow

1. Put shared game data in database
2. Keep map-specific or temporary content dynamic with map.addInDatabase()
3. Use string IDs from gameplay code when possible
