Functions​

getReplicaById​

</>

) → ReplicaClient?

Gets an existing replica

getReplicaAddedSignal​

</>
ReplicaClient.getReplicaAddedSignal(
class: string,--

Configuration for the replicated object

fireForExisting: boolean?--

If true, fire the signal for all existing replicas

) → Signal.Signal<ReplicaClient>--

The signal that is fired when a new replica is added

Starts listening for new replicated objects of the specified class

Get​

</>
ReplicaClient:Get(
key: string?--

The key to get. If nil, returns the entire data table

) → any--

The value of the key, or the entire data table if key is nil

Gets the value of a key in the ReplicaClient object

GetKeyChangedSignal​

</>
ReplicaClient:GetKeyChangedSignal(
key: string--

The key to get the value of

) → Signal.Signal<ReplicaClient>

Returns a Signal that fires when a key in the replica is updated
