[3.6][BUG][New Storage] record.related() returns array of Relations entities instead of real entities

[JarJak]

According to the docs: To get the actual related records, use the function related()

But it never happens.

Consider there is a relation maintype -> relatedtype.

If you call {{ dump(mainrecord.related('relatedtype')) }} you get Bolt\Storage\Collection\LazyCollection<Bolt\Storage\EntityProxy>

If you call it from reverse side {{ dump(relatedrecord.related('maintype')) }} you get ArrayIterator<Bolt\Storage\Entity\Relations>

What about record.relation then?

If you call {{ dump(mainrecord.relation) }} you get Bolt\Storage\Collection\Relations<Bolt\Storage\Entity\Relations>

If you call {{ dump(mainrecord.relation.relatedtype) }} you get an error.

The lazy collection is still the array of entities, you can iterate and use them as normal, just that they are loaded just in time.

  {% for page in records.related('pages') %}
     {{ dump(page) }}
  {% endfor %}

This will give you an actual instance of Entity\Content as expected

We can possibly look at changing this behaviour, the plan is to make the loading strategy configurable and I have a WIP branch for this but it's going to target a follow-up release since it was too big a feature to be finished in time for 3.6

@rossriley thanks, it works :) However, how can I get it from inverse side of relation?

If you call it from reverse side {{ dump(relatedrecord.related('maintype')) }} you get ArrayIterator<Bolt\Storage\Entity\Relations>
