## Remarks

Will throw an error if setting this key-value pair would exceed the plugin's data quota for this node

## Example

```ts
// setting a string value
node.data.set("storedColors", "#FF0000");

// setting a non-string value
const colors = ["#FF0000", "#00FF00", "#0000FF"];
node.data.set("storedColors", JSON.stringify(colors));

// getting the stringified value back
const storedColors = JSON.parse(node.data.get("storedColors"));
```
