I never tried this plugin, but there is extraData for your purpose  
Post score

```javascript
leaderBoard.post(score)
// leaderBoard.post(score, extraData)
// leaderBoard.post(score, extraData, timestamp)
    .then(function(record) { })
    .catch(function(error) { })

```

- `score` : A number, scores will be sorted descend.
- `extraData` : Extra data in JSON format.

Welcome to the realm of server-side IT.

There are several ways to do this:  
[AJAX from W3Schools.com](https://www.w3schools.com/js/js_ajax_intro.asp) OR  
[Application Markup Language](https://www.w3schools.com/appml/)

You’re at a point that you need to start learning server-side (i.e., “infrastructure” ) **middleware** … such as PHP, ASP, .NET, PYTHON, and (the list goes on) …

Unfortunately, all these technologies are migrating toward **Cloud Service, DevOps, and Server-less** environments. Yes, you still need to understand “middle-ware” to use any of them.

I would suggest [“where to start and how to begin”](https://www.w3schools.com/whatis/default.asp) with this chart … **BUT I’M ALWAYS DELETED FROM THIS FORUM FOR MY HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS.** I recommend a quick google search on “Headless HTML5 Game Design” or “Making RPG Browser Games Content-as-a-Service” .

I have another firebase plugins, [File](https://rexrainbow.github.io/phaser3-rex-notes/docs/site/firebase-files/), to save player’s private data.

jquery-ajax / php might be your best bet there - get ready for some extra hours if that’s from scratch
