Edits or limits on 'built in' client api requests? : GameSparks

Obviously with my own events, I can put whatever checks/restrictions on inbound data as I want in the cloud code - but with events like ChangeUserDetailsRequest (GameSparks provided) - are there any edits/limits on the values sent in - specifically displayName?

I see that I can add my own code to the ChangeUserDetailsRequest request - is that code executed AFTER the functionality that GameSparks provides or BEFORE? If it was before, I could possibly add some edit restrictions (length, bad language check, etc) and then either generate error condition or 'scrub' the value before it was persisted.

Thoughts?

(Obviously - I could create my own field in in Player or my own collection and my own events to populate - but displayName seemed 'correct' and already provided...)

Thanks in advance!!

Hi Jeff,

You can use 'throw' to stop a request in it's tracks and send the appropriate error. A simple example using some Cloud Code in the RegistrationRequest would be as follows.

//get the password the user just supplied
var userPassword = Spark.getData().password;

//if the password is blank, throw an "Invalid Password" error
if(userPassword == ""){
    throw "Password Invalid";
}

With this you could add your own checks in the RegistrationRequest and throw appropriate errors to the user where needed. Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Liam
