query · world.selection

Current selection

Returns the stable identities selected by the presentation owner.

world.selection.current(filters?, cursor?, page_size?) -> query-page

Stable ID: world.selection.current
Owner: render.selection
Authority: read_only
Timing: immediate
Availability: active-session
Side effects: none
Determinism: stable owner order at the current committed tick
Introduced: 1.0.0

Usage

Call this query through world.query with the stable ID world.selection.current. Consume detached records during the current callback and use the returned cursor for bounded continuation.

Parameters

filters: optional table of query-specific stable IDs and bounded selectors.
cursor: optional opaque continuation cursor returned by the same query.
page_size: optional positive record limit capped by the host.

Returns

A detached query page with status, records, continuation metadata, and a stable diagnostic when the request cannot complete.

Cost

Bounded by page size, per-package query budget, and the owning snapshot builder; results are detached before Lua receives them.

        -- Render or inspect detached record fields here.
    end
end
