PlayerResolvable

PlayerResolvable simply allows you to get the username, userId, or Player Instance by any of the previous data.

Installation

Using Wally

PlayerResolvable is available via Wally + Rojo workflow, installing it is as easy as the following:

wally.toml

[package]
name = "user/repo"
description = "some maybe cool project"
version = "1.0.0"
registry = "https://github.com/UpliftGames/wally-index"
realm = "shared"

[dependencies]
PlayerResolvable = "alexinite/player-resolvable@0.2.1"

wally install

Requiring PlayerResolvable will depend on your Rojo project format, I will assume you have Wally Packages going into ReplicatedStorage/Packages for usage examples.

default.project.json

{
    "name": "project-name",
    "tree": {
        "$className": "DataModel",
        "ReplicatedStorage": {
            "$path": "src/shared",
            "Packages": {
                "$path": "Packages"
            }
        },
        ...
    }
}

Usage

First, requiring it depends on your Rojo project format, I will assume you have Wally Packages go into ReplicatedStorage/Packages.

local resolver = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.Packages.PlayerResolvable)

---

The usage is pretty simple, only providing a total of three methods. Currently, the types of data it can resolve is limited to things that can be coerced into string or number and Player.

local username = resolver.getUsername(74909795) -- "alexinite"
local userId = resolver.getUserId("alexinite") -- 74909795
local player = resolver.getPlayer("alexinite") -- if in-game, <Player>
local player = resolver.getPlayer(74909795) -- if in-game, <Player>
