Hi team - I've been leveraging the dashboard package and template but have some questions on piping.

I would like to: . set up a datasource for each dashboard, . query the database (most of the widgets would leverage the same data queried from db), then *. pipe the data into different datastores (to be consumed by like widgets)

I want to use different datastores depending on the needs of the widget (some datastores could supply multiple widgets).

Question 1: what would be the right architecture to do that? I am using a BaseReport.php as described previously [https://www.koolreport.com/forum/topics/67](Topic 67) for my Settings and Setup. Question 2: How do I reference and use the datastore? (I couldn't find any examples in the demo of it being used)

<?php
//BaseReport.php to hold like settings

namespace demo\headcount;

use demo\AutoMaker;
class BaseReport extends Automaker
{
    protected function settings()
     {    
            return array(
                "dataSources"=>array(
		    'dsemployee'=>array(
        		'connectionString'=>'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=talentanalytics',
        		'username'=>'root',
        		'password'=>'',
        		'charset'=>'utf8'
    			),
                )
            );
    }

    public function setup()
    {
        $this->src('dsemployee')
	->query
		(DB::table("eetable")
		->select("Hire_Date","End_Date")
                ->where("COID",$coid)
        	)
        	->pipe($this->dataStore("mydata"))
 		->requestDataSending(); //populate data to the datastore
    }
}

<?php
// HeadcountBoard.php uses BaseReport

namespace demo\headcount;

use demo\BaseReport;

<?php
//TotalEmployee.php contains SimpleCard widget

namespace demo\headcount;
use koolreport\dashboard\widgets\SimpleCard;

class TotalEmployees extends SimpleCard
{

    protected function process()
    { //nothing to process
    }

    protected function value()
    {
        //Get value from the date range picker
        $range = $this->sibling("HeadcountDateRange")->value();

/* THIS Errors out:  return BaseReport::create(array("dataSource"=>$this->dataStore('mydata')))
	Message: Call undefined dataStore() method
	QUESTION: How do I use reference PIPED datasource?  */

//This one works when query directly
        return BaseReport::table("eetable")
		->count('Hire_Date')
                ->whereBetween("Hire_Date",$range)
		->run()
		->getScalar();
    }

    protected function onCreated()
    {
        $this
        ->type("primary")
        ->text("Employees")
        ->icon("fas fa-users");
    }

}
