gmda_status

True once the session is active AND all tables have finished loading at least once.

Synchronous (returns directly)

Signature

gmda_status() -> real

Reports the combined readiness of the lifecycle: the session is active and the initial table load reached the ready phase.

This function takes no parameters.

Read it any time, typically to gate UI that needs leaderboard data. You can also just react to the tables_loaded event instead of polling this.

Returns: 1 when data is ready to display, otherwise 0.

if (gmda_status() == 1) {
    var grid = gmda_getTabledata(1);
    // draw the ranking from grid
}
