Are embeded documents still possible? #14

Closed camdub closed 4 years ago

camdub commented 7 years ago

Some of the documentation I've seen shows an Embeddable protocol that seems not to exist anymore. Is it possible to embed classes or can only Reference be used now?

Thanks to Swift 4 you don't need to conform to Embeddable anymore, if you embed a struct in your model and it's Codable, that'll work.

Only Reference works for references. You can still nest another model, but that'll make a copy of that model and embed it there. It's possible to re-add this feature, but it would break your models if those referenced models (in-directly) reference yours.
