hi, I am trying to use kii to create a leaderboard. I must say kii is not Parse.com, nuff said. Anyway, I get the following returned when querying my ‘scores’ bucket and running the results through inspect.lua:
{
queryDescription = “WHERE ( 1=1 )”,
results = {
<metatable> = {
__jsontype = “array”
}
},
<metatable> = {
__jsontype = “object”
}
I know the scores are in the results array…can someone help me dig through that metatable? I wish it was just straight-up json, no chaser …
thanks,
Jen
With the help of Kii’s very nice Dev Evangelist, we figured it out. Basically I was receiving no data (so just an empty metatable) - I figured that this was happening by using json.encode(results) and seeing that results was returning [], an empty dataset. The trick is to do a Kii query against a ‘bucket’ of data, you need to avoid pagination (which is a confusing bit in their docs).
I’ll probably write up a Kii tutorial once I get this sorted. I’d like to use their service to get my apps into the Asian markets.
best,
Jen
