How to make a Get LeaderBoard Request using JavaSript (PlayCanvas)

Hi, hope you are doing well.

I have recently switched to playcanvas from unity to make a Game for Web and they support playfab but I am having it a bit rough to make a simple leader board; coming from C# to Js environment .Upon searching many requests, i have found that there isnt a lot of material related to PlayCanvas x PlayFab, therefore i am writing my query here and hope it get answered for future purposes. (It would be wonderful if i get any helpful/side material related to Playcanvas and Playfab).

So coming to my question, i am having trouble in getting the leaderboard from the playfab player database. For updating statistics, the solution has been completed where i used the following code to update my score and it works like a charm.

PlayFabManager.prototype.UpdateStats=function(score){
var updateStatsRequest ={
Statistics:[{StatisticName:"UserScores",Value: score }]
};
PlayFabClientSDK.UpdatePlayerStatistics(updateStatsRequest, updateStatsCallback);
};

But i want this leaderboard entry to be displayed inside my game. Any solution how this may be possible.
Thank you, hope you have a good day.

I'm not familiar with PlayCanvas, but I can provide you the code to call GetLeaderboard in JS, you can refer and try to modify it.

Also, PlayFab has no official documentation for PlayCanvas, but you can refer to JavaScript quickstart for Native and Phaser - PlayFab | Microsoft Docs to understand how to call PlayFab’s API in JS.

function GetLeaderboard(){
    var getLeaderboardRequest = {
        StartPosition: 0,
        StatisticName: "UserScores"
    };
    PlayFabClientSDK.GetLeaderboard(getLeaderboardRequest, getLeaderboardCallback);
}

Ps. By displayed in my game i meant how can i get access to the contents of the data actually. I know that it can be shown in multiple ways e.g. specifying a text component etc.Thank you.
