Data property on Sequence is a List<object> about alexa.net.apl HOT 7 CLOSED

Morning @ncipollina - All APLValue objects should be able to be represented as strings using the .To(string) method

I'm at work so I can't check the exact code right now, but if you take a look it should be something like APLValue<List<object>>.To("${payload.leaderboardData.properties.listItems}")

Let me know if that helps?

from alexa.net.apl.

@stoiveyp thanks for the reply. I tried that and it ended up outputting this:

   {
      "type": "Sequence",
      "id": "leaderboardSequence",
      "width": "100%",
      "height": "80%",
      "data": ["${payload.leaderboardData.properties.listItems}"],
      "numbered": true,
      "items": [

That theoretically should have worked, but it just generated an error.

hmm it shouldn't have put it in the array, it should have referenced the string directly.
Are you able to paste just the line you use to set that Data property please and I'll take a look tonight to see what's happening

from alexa.net.apl.

Sure. It was like this:

Data = new List<object>{ "${payload.leaderboardData.properties.listItems}" };

from alexa.net.apl.

That's great, thank you.

As I can't get to it for hours yet (it's 1pm here and I won't be free until 9/10pm earliest) could you try the following line of code as an alternative and see if this changes the output at all?

Data = APLValue<List<object>>.To("${payload.leaderboardData.properties.listItems}");

Just want to see if that produces something more useable - if not then I'll debug when I'm available tonight 👍

I'll give it a try. Thanks!

Ok, that did the trick! I'll close this issue.
