Is there a simpler/ more concise way to initialize this array in Lua?

Question

I have the following logic:

delete_request = {}
delete_request.value = {}
delete_request.value.username = {}
delete_request.value.username.value = rowvm.userid

I'd like to know if there's an easier way to initialize an array with this type of a structure... or if what I have is the best way.

Answer 1

Like this:

delete_request = {value = {username = {value = rowvm.userid}}}
