Get parent of subdocument #56

Open rremigius opened 12 years ago

rremigius commented 12 years ago

Hi,

I retrieve a Document (Parent) from the database and it contains a DocumentSet. I run through this DocumentSet and pass its elements (let's call them Subs) it on to other classes and methods. In some of these methods, I need the Parent document.

I found a method called isParentDocumentSet, but no method called anything like getParent. If I can't get the Parent directly from the Sub, I would have to pass the parent along with the Sub to all these methods, which I don't feel much for.

Is it possible to get the parent document directly from a sub-document? If not, might that be a good new feature?

Thanks.

Hi Remix,

There is no getParent method at the moment but that can certainly be done.

Cheers, Coen

Thanks. I added a 'parent' configAttribute and it works. Are you interested in these changes?

I've certainly had a need for this, it would be good to get these changes remix. Do you have a forked project?

I made a fork. It's located here: https://github.com/remix88/Shanty-Mongo. Hope you find it useful.
