I currently have a one-to-many relation set up on my Users class to Items. This column is called Favorites. Whenever a user favorites an item I plan to add that item as a relation. Anyways, now that I’ve figured that part out in Swift, how would I go about retrieving the Users Favorites? I tried something like this (see below) but I recieved a print statement with an array and the current user BackendlessUser added to it. I was hoping to expect just the favorites themselves and be able to put them into an array.
let dataQuery = BackendlessDataQuery()
let queryOptions = QueryOptions()
queryOptions.related = ["Favorites"]
dataQuery.queryOptions = queryOptions
var error: Fault?
let bc = backendless.data.of(BackendlessUser.ofClass()).find(dataQuery, fault: &error)
if error == nil {
print("Favorites have been retrieved: \(bc.data)")
}
I’m not sure I quite get what you mean. You’re saying that the line you mentioned above is returning the parent users object?
I take it I’m approaching it wrong. All I’m trying to do is obtain the current user’s Favorited objects from the User class Favorite column I created which is a one-to-many relation.
Since I’m using the BackendlessUser class isn’t this data already persisted upon logging in (now that I give it more thought)? Since I already have autoload checked off for this Column in the User class, I assume that all of these objects I’d be able to retrieve just by calling the getProperty on the current user. Do I have this correct? I believe I was over thinking it, or maybe I am now…
