State properties with nested schema are not being synced to clients

[chiragpetals]

I have a state property players of type MapSchema<PlayerSchema>, and PlayerSchema is defined below

// ResponseSchema
const ResponseSchema = schema({
  id: 'string',
  text: 'string',
});

// ResultSchema
const ResultSchema = schema({
  id: 'string',
  text: 'string',
  responses: [ResponseSchema],
});

// PlayerSchema
const PlayerSchema = schema({
  sessionId: { type: 'string', view: false },
  id: { type: 'string', default: '', view: false },
  name: { type: 'string' },
  result: { map: ResultSchema, view: false },
});

// Room State Schema
const RoomState = schema({
  phase: 'string', // waiting & leaderboard
  players: { map: PlayerSchema },
  playerCount: { type: 'int16', default: 0 },
});

I only need to change the result property for each player as the match ends, and i have tries to set and directly assignment =, but nothing works currently.

My Code Looks Something Like This::

 this.state.players.forEach((player, idx) => {
    const playerResult = new ResultSchema();
    playerResult.id = `${idx}`;
    playerResult.text = 'You responded at ' + (idx + 1) + ' position';
    
    const responses = new ResponseSchema();
    responses.id = `${idx}`;
    responses.text =  'You responded at ' + (idx + 1) + ' position'; // this is just dummy text
    
    playerResult.responses = responses;
});

Problem

I am setting state view for particular players at the time of joining of the room, but still the clients sees players.get(user.sessionId).result as {}

Hi @chiragpetals 👋

I see you defined your responses as [ResponseSchema] - this means it expects an array of ResponseSchema and you seem to be assigning an instance of ResponseSchema directly.

Can you try it like this?

const responses = new ResponseSchema();
responses.id = `${idx}`;
responses.text =  'You responded at ' + (idx + 1) + ' position'; // this is just dummy text

playerResult.responses = [responses];

There might be an issue regarding StateView as view: false is not a valid option.

[chiragpetals]

Then what will be the valid value for view? as there is no valid documentation for stateView for javascript, but setting view to false is working currently.

Hey @endel , It is working in case of non view properties, but when it comes to view state properties, it stops working.
