* updateOnly, forceId changes
* support getUpdateOnlyProperties
* fixup! fix updateOrCreate in forceId mode
The contract of `updateOrCreate` is expecting a full object instance
to be passed to the callback.
The current implementation was creating an empty instance and
calling updateAttributes under the hood. As a result, the callback
was called with the attributes being updated only.
In order to preserve existing behaviour, we have to always build
a full initial instance by calling `findById`.

In #1298, the spec/doc for polymorphic relations was reviewed
**hasX relation**
- `type`: **hasMany**
- `as`: redefines **this** relation's name (optional)
- `model`: **modelTo**
- `polymorphic`:
- typeOf `polymorphic` === `String`
- matching **belongsTo** relation name
- `foreignKey` is generated as `polymorphic + 'Id'`,
- `discriminator` is generated as `polymorphic + 'Type'`
- typeOf `polymorphic` === `Object`
- `as`: **DEPRECATED** should display a warning,
replaced by `selector`
- `selector`: should match **belongsTo** relation name if the
latter is defined with {polymorphic: true}
- (required) if both foreignKey and discriminator
are **NOT** provided
- (extraneous) if both foreignKey and discriminator
are provided
- `foreignKey`: A property of modelTo, representing the fk to
modelFrom's id.
- generated by default as `selector + 'Id'`
- `discriminator`: A property of modelTo, representing the actual
modelFrom to be looked up and defined
dynamically
- generated by default as `selector + 'Type'`
---
**belongsTo relation**
- `type`: **belongsTo**
- `as`: redefines **this** relation's name (optional)
- `model`: **NOT EXPECTED**: should throw an error at
relation validation
- `polymorphic`:
- typeOf `polymorphic` === `Boolean`
- `foreignKey` is generated as `relationName + 'Id'`,
- `discriminator` is generated as `relationName + 'Type'`
- typeOf `polymorphic` === `Object`
- `as`: **DEPRECATED**: should display a warning,
replaced by `selector`
- `selector`:
- (required) if both foreignKey and discriminator
are **NOT** provided
- (extraneous) if both foreignKey and discriminator
are provided
- `foreignKey`: A property of modelTo, representing the fk to
modelFrom's id.
- generated by default as `selector + 'Id'`
- `discriminator`: A property of modelTo, representing the actual
modelFrom to be looked up and defined
dynamically
- generated by default as `selector + 'Type'`
The PR superseeds the existing deepMerge algorithm used to merge
settings of parent and child models with a new algorithm that allows
to specify the way each setting is merged or mixed-in.
This configuration of this algorithm uses a merge policy specification.
The `getMergePolicy()` helper of BaseModelClass can be used to ease
model merge configuration.
Next is presented the expected merge behaviour for each option.
NOTE: This applies to top-level settings properties
- Any
- `{replace: true}` (default): child replaces the value from parent
- assignin `null` on child setting deletes the inherited setting
- Arrays
- `{replace: false}`: unique elements of parent and child cumulate
- `{rank: true}` adds the model inheritance rank to array
elements of type Object {} as internal property `__rank`
- Object {}:
- `{replace: false}`: deep merges parent and child objects
- `{patch: true}`: child replaces inner properties from parent
The recommended merge policy is returned by getMergePolicy()
when calling the method with option `{configureModelMerge: true}`.
The legacy built-in merge policy is returned by `getMergePolicy()`
when avoiding option `configureModelMerge`.
NOTE: it also delivers ACLs ranking in addition to the legacy
behaviour as well as fixes for settings `description` and `relations`
`getMergePolicy()` can be customized using model's setting
`configureModelMerge` as follows:
```
{
// ..
options: {
configureModelMerge: {
// merge options
}
}
// ..
}
```
`getMergePolicy()` method can also be extended programmatically as
follows:
```
myModel.getMergePolicy = function(options) {
const origin = myModel.base.getMergePolicy(options);
return Object.assign({}, origin, {
// new/overriding options
});
};
```
The query-string parser used by express
https://github.com/ljharb/qs#parsing-arrays
limits the size of arrays that are created from query strings to 20
items. Arrays larger than that are converted to objects using numeric
indices.
This commit fixes the coercion algorithm used by queries to
treat number-indexed objects as arrays. We still maintain a strict
understanding of an "array-like object" to limit the opportunity for
subtle bugs. In particular, the presence of non-index keys is an
indication that the object was not intended to be interpreted as
an array.
The setting controls the strict mode used for embedded property types,
for example the type of "address" property in this model definition:
modelBuilder.define('TestEmbedded', {
name: 'string',
address: {
street: 'string',
},
});
Add datasource and model setting `normalizeUndefinedInQuery`
to determine how it will handle undefined values. Options:
- nullify : converts undefined to null
- throw : throw an error on undefined value
- ignore : strip the key where undefined value is found
The default operation is to strip the key.
Sub models sometimes need to customize the properties from the base model.
This change allows each sub model has its own copy of the base property
definition to avoid potential conflicts across multiple sub models of the
same base.
