# DataStore JavaScript SDK

# Overview

[Data Store](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/data-store/tables/) is a *Catalyst Cloud Scale* component that offers robust RDBMS solutions without the hassle of having to implement a complex setup. The entire infrastructure and setup required to ensure seamless scalability is handled by the Catalyst cloud.

You can perform operations like creating tables and columns, CRUD operations on data stored in the table, and define roles and permissions directly using the intuitive UI present in the Catalyst console.

### Prerequisites

You will need to install the following packages to be able to use the DataStore SDK methods.

```sh
npm install @zcatalyst/datastore
```

> **Info:** Ensure that you have applied the [required authentication configuration](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/sdk/javascript/v1/auth-config/node-consideration/) to use the SDK methods of this component.

### Import Requirement

You will need to import the following modules to use the DataStore SDK methods.

```javascript
const { Datastore} = require('@zcatalyst/datastore');//DataStore module
```

### List of SDK Methods

The following table contains the list of SDK methods that can be used to perform operations in the DataStore through code.
