How to post a mutli-tiered json object?

mgudesblatart commented 7 years ago

I need to post this object below

`{ "customer": { "name": "string", "phone": "string", "address1": "string", "address2": "string", "city": "string", "state": "string", "zip": "string", "cross-street": "string", "special-instructions": "string", "longitude": "string", "latitude": "string" }, "info": { "scheduled-dt": "string", "estimated-dt": "string", "confirmation-number": "string", "service-type": "string", "payment-is-cash": "string", "tip-payment-is-cash": "string", "payment-type": "string", "tip-payment-type": "string", "subtotal": "string", "delivery-charge": "string", "sales-tax": "string", "tip": "string", "total": "string", "coupon-description": "string", "coupon-amount": "string" }, "restaurant": { "name": "string", "billing-comment": "string" }, "items": [ { "name": "string", "group_name": "string", "group_id": "string", "pos_id": "string", "quantity": "string", "price": "string", "mods": [ {

                "name": "string",
                "pos_id": "string",
                "portion": "string",
                "group_name": "string",
                "group_id": "string",
                "price": "string",
                "quantity": "string"
            }
        ]
    }
]

}`

The current associations are as follows:

Order has one Restaurant
Restaurant belongs to Order
Order has one Customer
Customer belongs to Order
Order has one Info
Info belongs to Order
Order has many Items
Items belong to Order
Items has many Mods
Mods belongs to Items

so far I can post individually to all. But they do not associate.

How would I post the entire object into one route, say "create-order".

And then be able to find order info via orders/1/info/ for instance.

I am very new to node, and I am deeply over my head.

Any help would be a blessing.

I am using sequelize, express, and of course, epilogue

I am in need of a similar feature... For POST but also for GET. Basically I assume if the user request an object, I want to get all associated data with one request. Doing multiple request should not be required...

The only way I found so far is to modify epilogue to use sequelize "include" options. Currently working on a pull request...
