[Read Endpoint] Get data from two models #230

Using association, I can request /book/2/chapters, which will give me chapters data of book 2(But no book data).

But is there any 'hack' by which I can get book data + chapters data from the same url? something like this?

{
    "book": {
        ... all book 2 data ... ,
        "chapters": {
            ... all book 2 chapters data ....
        }
    }
}

If not, then is it possible to get a similar result with the use of middleware?

You are better off using a hasMany relationship and asking for book 2 for example. An example can be found here: https://github.com/dchester/epilogue/issues/235.
