Store (discord4j-common (3.2.2))

java.lang.Object
- discord4j.common.store.Store

```
public final class Store
extends Object
```
A Store represents a container that holds, retrieves, and updates data received from Discord throughout the life of a bot application. Any operation performed on a Store (whether it's to read data, update data upon receiving a gateway event, etc) is represented by a StoreAction object, that can be passed to the execute(StoreAction) method. Actions are in charge of encoding all information needed for the store to operate on the data accordingly.
A Store is constructed by passing a StoreLayout, which defines handlers for the different types of actions, whether they are Discord4J-specific or user-defined. The layout interface allows to enforce support for a minimal set of actions in order to fulfill the caching expectations of the Discord client.
