Relationship data and foreign keys?

Is there any way I could include data from other tables when I only have the ID?

Example of what I’m expecting to achieve:

import { Reference } from "./types"

// Records should be added here to be indexed / made searchable
const references: Array<Reference> = [
 {
   collection: "comments",
   index: "comments",
   include: ["text", "user_id"],
 },
]
export default references

Instead of indexing user_id I would like it to get the actual user document based on the ID from users collection.

Is this possible?

Ah, one more modification then! You’ll have to await the calls in FirestoreHandler.ts

So anywhere there is:

body = this.reference.transform.call(/*...*/)

it should be changed to:

body = await this.reference.transform.call(/* .... */)

I think that oughtta do it

Sorry for the delay on this!

It seems like a better idea would be to use the onItemUpserted property in references and the add an update_by_query from elasticsearch. (You’ll have to pull the latest commit on the repo to have access to that)

Something resembling (I’m not sure what your actual structure is):

{
  collection: "comments",
  index: "comments",
  include: ["text", "user_id"],
  transform: async (data, parent) => {
    // Transformation from Firestore happens here
  },
  onItemUpserted: async (data, parent, esClient) => {
     await esClient.updateByQuery({
       index: 'comments',
       refresh: true,
       body: {
       script: {
          lang: 'painless',
          source: 'ctx._source["user_name"] = data.user.name
        },
        query: {
          match: {
            user_id: data.user_id
          }
        }
      }
    })
  }
}
