Add dummy data funxtion

It's also useful to have the API wrapper return a stub when you're designing your UI. I use this:

scores = {
    { player = "ScenicRouteSoftware", rank = 1, value = 6000 },
    { player = "elephanteater", rank = 2, value = 5000 },
    { player = "fatnosegaming", rank = 3, value = 4000 },
    { player = "Poe", rank = 5, value = 2599 },
    { player = "kmchipman", rank = 4, value = 2800 },
    { player = "ledbetter", rank = 7, value = 2390 },
    { player = "pixelghost", rank = 6, value = 2400 },
    { player = "yessclara", rank = 8, value = 2200 },
    { player = "emre", rank = 9, value = 2199 },
    { player = "callmesteam", rank = 5293, value = 30 }
}

might be useful too include a function to check for default user strings, and include them in the dummy data

That's a nice idea. A couple of suggested tweaks to the test data:

• include two entries with the same rank
• include an entry with an unreasonably long player name

Relatedly, everyone using these scoreboards has to figure out how to properly order them for display since they don't come sorted. Perhaps a helper for this would be worth including. Something like this:

function getRankedScores(scores)
	local rankedScores = {}
	for i, score in ipairs(scores) do
		rankedScores[i] = score
	end
	table.sort(rankedScores, function(a, b) return a.rank < b.rank end)
	return rankedScores
end

🤔 It might be useful to make the function something like pdScoreboards.getDummyData(ascending) where you pass a bool that defaults to sorting descending
