I have a model Post:
// Post.js
attributes:{
name: {type:"string"},
users: { collection: 'user', via: 'postsReceived' },
category: { model: 'category' },
// Plus lots of other fields and relationships to other models for example category, topic, etc...
}
And I have a model Users:
// Users.js
attributes:{
name: {type:"string"},
postsReceived: { collection: 'post', via: 'users', dominant: true }
}
A post can be sent to many users and a user may have many posts. This if fine however when it comes to populating a list of posts that a user is attached to this becomes quite difficult. I am using the below code to get the list of posts, however this does not populate the posts relationships. For example the below will only return a id for the category of the post. What is the best way (in terms of performance) to get this to work?
User.findOne({id:id})
.populate('postsReceived')
.exec(function(err, user){
if(err) return res.serverError(err);
if (user){
var result = user.postsReceived;
return res.json(result);
}
});
