ArraySchema with Schema Objects?

dawickizer

Hello All,

I am getting an error trying to implement ArraySchema. Any help would be appreciated :)

I have this Player Schema:

import { Schema, type } from '@colyseus/schema';

export class Player extends Schema {

  @type('string')
  username: string;

  @type('string')
  sessionId: string;

}

And this MyRoomState Schema which has an ArraySchema<Player>:

import { Schema, ArraySchema, type } from '@colyseus/schema';
import { Player } from './Player';

export class MyRoomState extends Schema {

  @type([Player])
  players = new ArraySchema<Player>();

}

And this is the MyRoom code that tries to push to the array of players:

import { Room, Client } from "colyseus";
import { MyRoomState } from "./schema/MyRoomState";
import { Player } from './schema/player';

export class MyRoom extends Room {
...
  onJoin(client: Client, options: any) {
    let player: Player = new Player();
    player.username = options.username;
    player.sessionId = client.sessionId;
    this.state.players.push(player);
    this.broadcast('user-joined', `${player.username} joined room: ${this.roomId} with session: ${player.sessionId}`);
  }
...
}

But I am getting this error on the server:

Hi @dawickizer, do you possibly have two versions of the schema module loaded somehow?

@endel figured it out. I was just being dumb lol.
import { Player } from './Player'; in MyRoomState.ts
and
import { Player } from './schema/player'; in MyRoom.ts

Accidentally capitalized one of the imports

I see! Glad you found out. There is a TypeScript configuration to prevent this from happening called forceConsistentCasingInFileNames:

// tsconfig.json
{
    "compilerOptions": {
        // (...)
        "forceConsistentCasingInFileNames": true,
    }
}
