event.response.(variable).smthelse < How to correctly find path to it?

Solar2D Lua Language

Welcome… again.

So I’ve managed to make a database with Firebase, which is a huge achievement for today (Had to post on forums a few times), but now I need to retrieve data from table with a specific name. Like, if I have an ID for every user and I need to find his ID in the table (which is in JSON).

Currently:

[lua]

local pathId = tostring(currentId) – currentId is the unique ID

bonuses = json.decode(event.response[pathId].bonuspoints) – must get bonuspoints of this ID only

[/lua]

I’m stuck here, as this is pure Lua language trick. It’s a variable inside path, and it’s something I haven’t encountered before. Help appreciated!

by the way, using network.request (“GET”) and the event.response is my table inside Firebase. pathId must be the first key to it.
