Embedded documents with reference #308
Description
Hi there,
Firstly, thanks for the great software.
Secondly, this is a question more than an issue. I have the following data model:
Event
{
data: {
casualties: {
death: {
number: Number,
cause: String
},
injury: {
number: Number,
cause: String
}
},
punishment: {
number: Number,
penalty: String
}
}
}Causality
{
name: {type: String, index: true},
createdBy: {type: [String]},
updatedBy: {type: [String]}
}Punishment
{
name: {type: String, index: true},
createdBy: {type: [String]},
updatedBy: {type: [String]}
}I want to create a field in an edit view that has:
Death | field: number of deaths | reference to causality entity as a dropdown: cause
Injury | field: number of injuries | reference to causality entity as a dropdown: cause
Punishment | field: number of punishments | reference to penalties entity as a dropdown: penalty
I tried to create the following:
In config.js
...
.addField(new Reference('data')
.type('template')
.targetEntity(new Entity('casualties.casualties'))
.targetField(new Field('name'))
.template(function () {
return '<dataedit field="::field"></dataedit>';
}))
...However, when I tired to get the field.choices() in the data-edit directive, it returns an empty list, but it should contain entries.
I'm not sure if I'm going about this in the right way.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
