Operate on Parts of a Cloud Expression

Cloud expressions support efficient Part operations, evaluated directly in the cloud.

Create a cloud expression to store a scoreboard.

In[1]:=

ce = CreateCloudExpression[<| "Alice" -> <|"best" -> 12, "last" -> 3|>, "Bob" -> <|"best" -> 7, "last" -> 5|>, "Carlo" -> <|"best" -> 31, "last" -> 12|>|>, "scoreboard"]

Out[1]=

Retrieve the best score associated to both Alice and Bob.

In[2]:=

ce[{"Alice", "Bob"}, "best"]

Out[2]=

Update both scores of a user with a higher value.

In[3]:=

ce["Alice", {"best", "last"}] = 24

Out[3]=

Retrieve the whole cloud expression with the updated values and order entries by best score.

In[4]:=

Dataset[Get[ce]][SortBy[-Part[#, "best"] &]]

Out[4]=
