Insert complex objects

Hi, I want to insters complex object to database. Can you verify what I’m doing wronmg?

public class Phone
        {
            public int Id { get; set; }
            public string Name { get; set; }
            public string Number { get; set; }
        }
public class Customer
        {
            public int Id { get; set; }
            public string Name { get; set; }
            public List<Phone> Phones { get; set; }
            public bool IsActive { get; set; }
        }

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            using (var db = new LiteDatabase(@"C:\MyData.db"))
            {

                var phones = db.GetCollection<Phone>("phones");
                var customers = db.GetCollection<Customer>("customers");

                BsonMapper.Global.Entity<Customer>()
                    .Id(e => e.Id)
                    .DbRef(e => e.Phones, "phones");

                var customer = new Customer
                {
                    Name = "Dawid",
                    Phones = new List<Phone> { new Phone { Name = " damien", Number = "111222" }, new Phone { Name = " dawid", Number = "555666" } },
                    IsActive = true
                };

                customers.Insert(customer);

                // this list have 1 object, but in this object Phones has Id = 0 and another properties are null
                var allCustomers = customers.Include(c => c.Phones).FindAll().ToList();

                // this list is empty
                var allPhones = phones.FindAll().ToList();
            }
        }

If there are any concepts or ideas you have that you want feedback on (maybe if you forgot something or just want to get an outside opinion for proofchecking) let us know 😃

Maybe we can also help implementing it if you want…

Why does it not insert reference objects automatically? It seems like that should be a standard feature…

Also, an option to automatically include references.

BsonMapper.Global.Entity<Customer>() .Id(e => e.Id) .DbRef(e => e.Phones, “phones”, alwaysAutomaticallyInclude : true, alwaysAutoInsert: true)

This should exist. Automatic loading of references, and automatic inserting when a parent object is inserted. (When inserting Customer, all Phone entries are inserted/updated as well).

Why not add this? It would be a great feature to have. @mbdavid
