How to deserialize stored state snapshot?

AllNamesRTaken

Hi,
I am new here and I am building a VTT (virtual table top) where I store the board state on room dispose as JSON.
On create I would like to deserialize it into the new state.

Is there a quick way of doing it or do I need to nest constructors to consume the object?

Many thanks.

Hi @AllNamesRTaken, welcome! 👋

You should be able to do the following:

const snapshot = this.state.toJSON();
// ...store snapshot JSON into the database

// ...let's restore the snapshot
this.state.assign(snapshot);

Let me know if that works for you!
