Modeling help request

[aisflat439]

Hey Tyler. I looked high and low for this in the README and in /examples. It seems like it should be straightforward.

I wanted to model the following:

Creating the top half of the model was easy. I then applied what I know about creating comments on a post or tickets on a project to addProductToWarehouse but I was immediately stumped. Can you offer some assistance when you have some time? It's not obvious to me how this should work.

I can take a look at this more closely tonight 👍

[aisflat439]

Thanks in advance! I think what I need is to create a service to manage the join.

@aisflat439 I checked out your Playground (thank you for doing that btw, it is very helpful) and it looked like the error was that the product entity referenced warehouseId as a composite attribute but warehouseId was not defined in attributes. I changed that, and removed the export keywords (the playground doesn't like those right now) and everything is now running just fine:

Can you verify if this is what you'd expect?

[squio]

Just to chime in ... this is actually very helpful for me getting started with M2M relations, maybe this should be part of the documentation some time?

Also a question: I have almost the same situation BUT need to query on warehouseId to retrieve a single warehouse so I swapped the sk and pk as in this snippet:

const WarehouseEntity = new Entity( 
  // ...
  indexes: {
      warehouses: {
        collection: "warehouses",
        pk: {
          field: "pk",
          composite: ["warehouseId"],
        },
        sk: {
          field: "sk",
          composite: [],
        }
      },
  // ...
});

And then the very basic function:

async function getWarehouse(warehouseId: string) {
  return await WarehouseEntity.get({ warehouseId }).go();
}

Now my question: is this indeed the right approach for this access pattern or doesn't it matter at all?
