# Distributed Data Object

The **distributedDataObject** module provides basic data object management, including creating, querying, deleting, modifying, and subscribing to data objects, and distributed data object collaboration for the same application among multiple devices.

> **NOTE**<br/>
>
> The initial APIs of this module are supported since API version 8. Newly added APIs will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version.

### save<sup>9+</sup>

save(deviceId: string, callback: AsyncCallback&lt;SaveSuccessResponse&gt;): void

Saves a distributed data object. This API uses an asynchronous callback to return the result.

If the application is active, the saved data will not be released. When the application exits and restarts, the data saved on the device will be restored.

The saved data will be released in the following cases:

- The data is stored for more than 24 hours.
- The application has been uninstalled.
- Data is successfully restored.

**System capability**: SystemCapability.DistributedDataManager.DataObject.DistributedObject

**Parameters**
  | Name| Type| Mandatory| Description|
  | -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- |
  | deviceId | string | Yes| ID of the device where data is stored. The value **local** indicates the local device.|
  | callback | AsyncCallback&lt;[SaveSuccessResponse](#savesuccessresponse9)&gt; | Yes| Callback used to return **SaveSuccessResponse**, which contains information such as session ID, version, and device ID.|

**Example**
```js
import distributedObject from '@ohos.data.distributedDataObject';
var g_object = distributedObject.createDistributedObject({name:"Amy", age:18, isVis:false});
g_object.setSessionId("123456");
g_object.save("local", (status, result)=>{
    console.log("save status = " + status);
    console.log("save callback");
    console.info("save sessionId: " + result.sessionId);
    console.info("save version: " + result.version);
    console.info("save deviceId:  " + result.deviceId);
});
```

### save<sup>9+</sup>

save(deviceId: string): Promise&lt;SaveSuccessResponse&gt;

Saves a distributed data object. This API uses a promise to return the result.

If the application is active, the saved data will not be released. When the application exits and restarts, the data saved on the device will be restored.

The saved data will be released in the following cases:

- The data is stored for more than 24 hours.
- The application has been uninstalled.
- Data is successfully restored.

**System capability**: SystemCapability.DistributedDataManager.DataObject.DistributedObject

**Parameters**
  | Name| Type| Mandatory| Description|
  | -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- |
  | deviceId | string | Yes| ID of the device where the data is saved. The default value is **local**, which indicates the local device. |

**Return value**

  | Type| Description|
  | -------- | -------- |
  | Promise&lt;[SaveSuccessResponse](#savesuccessresponse9)&gt; | Promise used to return **SaveSuccessResponse**, which contains information such as session ID, version, and device ID.|

**Example**

```js
import distributedObject from '@ohos.data.distributedDataObject';
var g_object = distributedObject.createDistributedObject({name:"Amy", age:18, isVis:false});
g_object.setSessionId("123456");
g_object.save("local").then((result)=>{
    console.log("save callback");
    console.info("save sessionId " + result.sessionId);

});
```

### revokeSave<sup>9+</sup>

revokeSave(callback: AsyncCallback&lt;RevokeSaveSuccessResponse&gt;): void

Revokes the saving operation of a distributed data object. This API uses an asynchronous callback to return the result.

If the object is saved on the local device, the data saved on all trusted devices will be deleted.
If the object is stored on another device, the data on the local device will be deleted.

**System capability**: SystemCapability.DistributedDataManager.DataObject.DistributedObject

**Parameters**
  | Name| Type| Mandatory| Description|
  | -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- |

  console.log("revokeSave callback");
});
```

### revokeSave<sup>9+</sup>

revokeSave(): Promise&lt;RevokeSaveSuccessResponse&gt;

Revokes the saving operation of a distributed data object. This API uses a promise to return the result.

If the object is saved on the local device, the data saved on all trusted devices will be deleted.
If the object is stored on another device, the data on the local device will be deleted.

```js
import distributedObject from '@ohos.data.distributedDataObject';
var g_object = distributedObject.createDistributedObject({name:"Amy", age:18, isVis:false});
g_object.setSessionId("123456");
g_object.revokeSave().then((result)=>{
    console.log("revokeSave callback");
    console.log("sessionId" + result.sessionId);
}, ()=>{
    console.error("revokeSave failed");
});
