Native cloud storage

[John Craig]

As part of a commercial app I'm working on, there is a requirement for 
basic cloud storage, so  I've created a simple, native LC cloud storage 
service for storing app data as required.
If there are a few interested volunteers that are in a position to give 
it a test run, then drop me a quick line off list.

Best,

John.

It's a small, open source button script that you can simply plug in or 
copy into your app.
It will work with all LC platforms - Mac/Win/Linux/iOS/Android.
The service is based around a native LC REST API.
Storage limits can be configured per user.
All communication is straight HTTP, so no issues should arise with Apple 
re. encryption.
User credentials are safe - they aren't visible in any communication 
with the server.

You can insert the button script into the back scripts or just paste the 
code into your stack, etc.
The syntax is simple.

  -- Initialize the service with your account details;
  cloud.Start tEmail, tPassword


  -- Fetch account storage stats: used / limit / percentage;
  put cloud.Stats() into tData


  -- Store data examples;
  cloud.Store "MyData", "12345"
  cloud.Store "com.domain.app.machine.key", "ABC-DEF-GHI"


  -- Fetch stored data examples;
  put cloud.Fetch("MyData") into tData
  put cloud.Fetch("com.domain.app.machine.key") into tData


  -- Delete data
  cloud.Delete "MyData"


In addition, a quick tweak allowed storage of 'shared' info - high 
scores in this example.  This allows multiple app instances all to post 
scores simultaneously and the server will look after the data and keep 
it in sync - also keeping only the top N records.  If this works as 
expected, it could be really useful to allow this sharing for all types 
of data.

  -- Post a score.  This example posts to the app's high score table.
  -- pScore is the actual score, pData could be the user name, etc. - 
anything associated with the score
  -- the last parameter instructs the server to only keep hold of the 
top 10 records.
  cloud.Score "com.domain.app.hiScores", pScore, pData, 10


  -- Fetch high scores
  put cloud.FetchScores("HiScores") into tHiScores


  -- Delete the high scores
  cloud.DeleteScores "HiScores"
