Is there any plan to support relationships? #73

The homepage says "JSON:API relationships are currently not supported. You can use complex object graphs though, which are stored in a single document.", our domain has some resources that aren't suitable for nesting so we want them in separate mongo collections with relationships between them.

Probably not anytime soon. This depends on https://jira.mongodb.org/projects/EF/issues/EF-117?filter=allopenissues, which is labeled FY25Q3. Please upvote or comment on that issue.

Whilst that might be a helpful option; I don’t think it does depend on it… many of the other frameworks support it!

They just query the collections separately rather than expect the DB to do it.

We’d be happy to look at implementing and raising a PR if it was wanted & a design agreed

I'm open to ideas. What design do you have in mind?

craigedmunds commented 2 months ago

I’m not familiar with the code yet so no idea! Just didn’t want to go away and do it and find we were taking it down a path that wasn’t wanted.
