Requirements

  • An admin backend running on forest-express-sequelize
  • Relationship One-To-Many between two collections (in this example an organization hasMany companies <-> a company belongsTo an organization)

​
How it works

​
Directory: /forest

Create a new smart action in the forest file of the collection with the hasMany relationship (organizations in this example). This smart action will be usable on a single record (type: 'single'). We will create two fields in the smart action form, one will be used for the search on the referenced collection and the second will be used to see the selection made by the operator.

​
Directory: /routes

When the user validates the action, this route is called. We will use the selection to retrieve all companies’ ids and then updates all companies organizationId field to create the associations.

In addition, once the smart action has been successfully run, it refreshes the relationship to properly display newly added associations.
