However, there's one significant complication in writing the code for these conditions and resource values: you're working with a potentially incomplete save data object.</p><h2id="working-with-save-data"tabindex="-1">Working with save data <aclass="header-anchor"href="#working-with-save-data"aria-label="Permalink to "Working with save data""></a></h2><p>The save component is passed down a save data object, that works quite a bit differently than how most of your project accesses data. First off, you are typically working with the objects within a layer directly, but you can't here as you want the information from this specific save, not the currently loaded save. Structurally it'll be like the <code>player</code> object, where all computed values and non-persistent refs are stripped away, and refs are already unwrapped. However, unlike the <code>player</code> object, you don't know for certain any given property is there - saves can be corrupted or incomplete, or come from older versions of the game that simply had the data structured differently. You'll need to account for that appropriately.</p><p>For most cases (specifically where new game versions only added new data to the save data object, rather than change the meaning of existing data), you can use the <code>LayerData</code> type to get proper typing for a given layer. For example, a type safe check for whether a save has earned a milestone called "nextSectionOfGame" on a layer called "main" would look like this:</p><divclass="language-ts"><buttontitle="Copy Code"class="copy"></button><spanclass="lang">ts</span><preclass="shiki material-theme-palenight"><code><spanclass="line"><spanstyle="color:#89DDFF;font-style:italic;">if</span><spanstyle="color:#A6ACCD;"> ((save</span><spanstyle="color:#89DDFF;">.</span><spanstyle="color:#A6ACCD;">value</span><spanstyle="color:#89DDFF;">?.</span><spanstyle="color:#A6ACCD;">layers</span><spanstyle="color:#89DDFF;">?.</span><spanstyle="color:#A6ACCD;">main </span><spanstyle="color:#89DDFF;font-style:italic;">as</span><spanstyle="color:#A6ACCD;"></span><spanstyle="color:#FFCB6B;">LayerData</span><spanstyle="color:#89DDFF;"><typeof</span><spanstyle="color:#A6ACCD;"> main</span><spanstyle="color:#89DDFF;">></span><spanstyle="color:#A6ACCD;"></span><spanstyle="color:#89DDFF;">|</span><spanstyle="color:#A6ACCD;"></span><spanstyle="color:#FFCB6B;">undefined</span><spanstyle="color:#A6ACCD;">)</span><spanstyle="color:#89DDFF;">?.</span><spanstyle="color:#A6ACCD;">nextSectionOfGame</span><spanstyle="color:#89DDFF;">.</span><spanstyle="color:#A6ACCD;">earned </span><spanstyle="color:#89DDFF;">??</span><spanstyle="color:#A6ACCD;"></span><spanstyle="color:#FF9CAC;">false</span><spanstyle="color:#A6ACCD;">) </span><spanstyle="color:#89DDFF;">{</span></span>
