Model to have a ReferenceField to itself

[0xCaponte]

Is it possible for a Model to have a ReferenceField to itself?

I am trying to cover these use cases:

• All my Documents in this case Users and Departments are created by some user and I want to know who did it.
• In a company a department can belong to another department.
• A User is part of a department.

This logic is already in Firestore and I can query it just fine but when writing the models I can not get it to work due to circular imports.

I could work around this by just storing the documents IDs and then manually getting them when needed but it seems to me that the use cases listed above are not too unusual so I have the feeling that I might be missing something basic here.

My current Classes:

class Users(Model):
    name = TextField()
    createdBy  = ReferenceField(Users) 
    belongsTo = ReferenceField(Departments)

class Departments(Model):
    name = TextField()
    createdBy  = ReferenceField(Users) 
    belongsTo = ReferenceField(Departments)

Thank you in advance for your answer and for the project itself. I am just starting with it but it looks very promising.

Hi 0xCaponte! Thank you for your writing!

It looks like this feature is not implemented. But it can be done by changing the ReferenceField implementation. Feel free to make a PR.

I generally like to contribute to this project, but I still have a list of features I use in my project and want to merge with FireO.

Thank you!
