hey guys,
is it possible in Playfab to have data relations for player? Let's say each player in the game, can create a bag for items and put items into the different bags. In most database systems this would be easy to modell, however, I find it quite complicated doing it in Playfab.
My current solution is more like a work around, where I store on player data the bag name as a key and the itemIds as comma seperated values.
But, I don't like this approach that much though...
Thanks!
The User Data systems are designed to be as generic as possible, so that you can use them a variety of ways - they're simply string/string key/value pairs. We'll also be offering an update in the near future which will provide a more efficient way to manage lots of small keys. But yes, for your specific use case, I would recommend either using a JSON object to represent all the bags and their items, or else just an array per bag (if they contain a lot of things - less than 1KB in a Value isn't very efficient), and then stringify() to ToString() the object, depending on your language of choice.
