We need to create a field for recipient and sender name in the Giftcards Schema #54

Closed torch2424 closed 9 years ago

torch2424 commented 9 years ago

As of right now, the naming schemes of the giftcards schema is quite confusing, I guess from ID and to ID are the actual databse ids. Not the names of the two users. We need to add fields for this, and update the documentation accordingly

@julianpoy I am assigning you to this as I feel like you're best suited for this, and if you have any questions, feel free to ask

@julianpoy @Jadex1 Could you please help me out? I am not entirely sure if my logic is correct.

Julian told me to look into some linking thing in the mongo docs http://mongoosejs.com/docs/populate.html

the link above shows how to save references to other objects in the backend, and get that information

After having more brain power from coffee, I can see why we would use this to get info from the backend.

I will go ahead and try to get the backend the names of those users in it's response
