Firease RealtimeDatabase

[storm oracle]

Hello guys, i am trying to settup realtime database, following function prints Saved players data but realtimedatabase stays empty... any ideas?

public void SavePlayerData(PlayerData playerData)
    {
        var playerDataJSON = JsonUtility.ToJson(playerData);
        var reqSavePlayerData = database.Child("users").Child(firebaseUser.UserId).Child(PLAYER_DATA_KEY).SetRawJsonValueAsync(playerDataJSON).ContinueWithOnMainThread(result =>
        {
            if (result.Exception != null)
            {
                UIManager.Instance.OkDialog.ShowMessage("Failed to save PlayerData: " + result.Exception.Message);
            }
            else
            {
                Debug.Log("Saved players data");
            }
        });
    }

looks like JsonUtility.ToJson is returning {} even tho playerData has fields

playerdata might either have types not supported by jsonUtility (type support there really sucks), or you forgot to add [System.Serializable] above the class definition of PlayerData

Forgot to close this thread 🙂 Fixed it, class wos Serializable but turns out JsonUtility doesnt recognize properties... so public string Name {get;private set} doesnt work

Thanks 🙂

Use Newtonsoft.Json if you need support for more types
Then you can replace the JsonUtility methods with the new package's equivalent

JsonUtility.FromJson<T>(string) => JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<T>(string)```
(this might look weird when open in split view)

THanks

only thing I'm not sure about is if newtonsoft has as wide of a platform support for built unity games than jsonserializer (which should work on any platform)
but it might has the same support, not sure

[trim grove]

"Json.NET supports Windows, MacOS, Linux, Mono, and Xamarin. "

[rich falcon]

does that mean no ahead of time export platforms (il2cpp backend?)

I just wanted to mention the compatibility aspect in case it turns out it has less broad support and you need to be sure to have support for x platform

sometimes a library might not be "officially supported" but might still work on a platform

[trim grove]

It supports IL2CPP, just tested something I'm working on with Mono backend
