These are 5 examples for ModelRequests on a given dataset with the expected
|
||||||
|
results. There are 6 models:
|
||||||
|
- A, B, C, D: some models with a common `title` attribute and an attribute per
|
||||||
|
model (a, b, c, d).
|
||||||
|
- G1, G2: Some models with generic relations.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Relations:
|
||||||
|
- A <-1---1-> B (B_id <-> A_id)
|
||||||
|
- A <-1---n-> C (C_ids <-> A_id)
|
||||||
|
- B <-n---m-> C (C_ids <-> B_ids)
|
||||||
|
- B <-1---n-> B selfreference modeling a tree (B_children_ids <-> B_parent_id)
|
||||||
|
- B <-n---m-> D with structured keys on D's side. The numbers are not related to
|
||||||
|
any ids. (D_ids <-> B_<number>_ids)
|
||||||
|
- G1 <-n---m-> A,C (content_object_ids <-> G1_ids)
|
||||||
|
- G2 <-1---1-> A,B (content_object_id <-> G2_id)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Notes about the value `null`: If a field is not present, its value is implicit
|
||||||
|
`null`. Fields with `null` as value are included in the ModelResponse but not
|
||||||
|
the dataset. This means, that there might be references without a reverse part in
|
||||||
|
the dataset, but this is fine, as the missing part is implicitly `null`. If a
|
||||||
|
field is deleted in the dataset, there is an update with `null` as the value of
|
||||||
|
the field.

II: Partial merged fields, generic lookup
|
||||||
|
Note:
|
||||||
|
- different fields for B/1 and B/2 in the response
|
||||||
|
- different fields for C/1 and C/2 in the response
|
||||||
|
- The generic lookup from G2/1 to B/1
|

|
|

|
III: non-existent ids, fields, fqids, references, generic relations and felder ohne referenz
|
||||||
|
Note:
|
||||||
|
- id 4 of G1 does not exist
|
||||||
|
- some fields does not exist
|
||||||
|
- some fields with indicated references does not exist (fine, until there is
|
||||||
|
no data. If there is data, this will cause an parsing-error at runtime)
|
||||||
|
- All these cases are fine
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
ModelRequest: {
|
||||||
|

|
}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
IV: structured fields without references
|
||||||
|
Note:
|
||||||
|
- `B_` is handled as a prefix
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
ModelRequest: {
|
||||||
|
collection: "D",
|
||||||
|
ids: [1, 2],
|
||||||
|
fields: {
|
||||||
|
d: null,
|
||||||
|
B_: null,
|
||||||
|
}
|

|

B_2_ids: [1],

}
|

|
}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
V: structed references
|
||||||
|
Note:
|
||||||
|
- `B_` and `B_4_ids` are handled as prefixes (`B_4_ids` has only one match)
|
||||||
|
- All references are followed
|
||||||
|
- The different fields for B/1 and B/2 in the response
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
ModelRequest: {
