Loading Nested Data in Associations

[jserna]

Hi guys,

I am trying to add nested data to a store with a model with associations. So, I have:

User.js

Ext.define('Fiddle.model.User',{    extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
    fields: [{
        name: 'name',
        type: 'string'
    }]
});

Product.js

Ext.define('Fiddle.model.Product',{    extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
    fields: [{
        name: 'name',
        type: 'string'
    },{
        name: 'user_id',
        reference: 'User'
    }]
});

and a store referencing the User model

Ext.define('Fiddle.store.Users', {    extend: 'Ext.data.Store',
    config: {
        autoLoad: true,
        model: 'Fiddle.model.User'
    }
});

When I add nested data and try to obtain the information, I get an error:

var users = Ext.create('Fiddle.store.Users');users.add({
    name: 'User1',
    products:[{
        name: 'product1'
    },{
        name: 'product2'
    }]
});
users.getAt(0).products().getAt(0).get('name');

I note that the 'products' property is assigned directly to the model instance and it is not possible to get the store of products.

Can anyone help me with this? I appreciate any suggestion.

Hi--

I'd add a base model with the schema for your models (e.g., 'Fiddle.model'). That will let you use the current syntax that you have in the association.

Next, you should use loadRawData() to add the data to the store so that the reader will be engaged and process the association data.

http://docs.sencha.com/extjs/6.0/6.0...od-loadRawData

Here's an updated example:

Hi Joel,

Thanks for your answer. It works!

I have some other questions about this topic, for example, it is possible customize the property's name for access the association's store? With the example above, it is possible change the "products" accesor?

In the same way, if the data hava other property name, for example "userProducts",how can I configure the store or the model for mapping that?

I know that in touch it was possible through the hasMany and belongsTo properties. With the scheme I can´t figure out how to do this.

Thanks again.

Thanks again.

You can do this via the inverse configuration for the reference:

inverse: {
    role: 'userProducts'
}

I've updated the Fiddle with an example: https://fiddle.sencha.com/#fiddle/vtq

Hi Joel,

sorry for taking this thread up from the dead again, but I could use a little help with the Fiddle sample.

My JSON properties are uppercase. If you replace all occurrences of "userProducts" with "UserProducts" in your last fiddle, console.log will output 0, not 2. Why is that and how to fix?

Kind regards,

Alexander
