# Use Without Data Layers
If a resource is configured without a data layer, then it will always be working off of a temporary data set that lives only for the life of that query. This can be a powerful way to model input validations and/or custom/complex reads. Technically, resources without a data layer use `Ash.DataLayer.Simple`, which does no persistence, and expects to find any data it should use for read actions in a context on the query
## Example
```elixir
defmodule MyApp.MyComplexResource do
use Ash.Resource
# notice no data layer is configured
attributes do
#A primary key is always necessary on a resource, but this will generate one for you automatically
uuid_primary_key :id
attribute :some_complex_derived_number, :integer
end
actions do
read :read do
prepare MyApp.FetchComplexResources
end
create :validate_input do
...
# will validate required inputs, and you can add
# validations like you would for any normal resource
end
end
end
defmodule MyApp.FetchComplexResources do
use Ash.Resource.Preparation
def prepare(query, _, _) do
case fetch_data(query) do
{:ok, data} ->
Ash.DataLayer.Simple.set_data(query, data)
{:error, error} ->
Ash.Query.add_error(query, SomeBuiltinOrCustomAshError.exception(...))
end
end
end
```
## Usage
They are used in exactly the same way as regular resources
```elixir
# You can construct changeset over them
changeset =
Ash.Changeset.for_create(MyApp.FetchComplexResource, :validate_input, %{})
# This will return the structs by default
# Although you are free to do custom persistence in your resource changes
MyApp.MyApi.create!(changeset)
# %MyApp.FetchComplexResource{...}
```
