Dealing with nested data

Imagine your data is nested like this:

/project/{projectId}/user/{userId}/task/{taskId}

heliosRX provides a straight forward way to deal with this:

this.$models.task
  .with({
    projectId: '-Lw_jBKRh5qNcdCG-GYM'
    userId: 'Qz3p2fpvTyeje5As3WDfgQtTCEK2' // optional
  })
  .add({
    title: "My task"
  })

The userId is automatically inferred from the currently authenticated user, if not given. So the example above is the same as (assuming the current user is Qz3p2fpvTyeje5As3WDfgQtTCEK2)

this.$models.task
  .with({ projectId: '-Lw_jBKRh5qNcdCG-GYM' })
  .add({
    title: "My task"
  })

Setting the default user Id

In order to set the default user id either the setDefaultUser helper can be called:

import { setDefaultUser } from 'heliosrx'
setDefaultUser( user.uid )

or the static property defaultUserId is set to the user id:

import { GenericStore } from 'heliosrx'
GenericStore.defaultUserId = user.uid;

A good place to set the default user id is in onAuthStateChanged:

import { GenericStore } from 'heliosrx'

let user_signed_in = false;

firebase.auth().onAuthStateChanged( ( user ) => {

  if ( user ) {

    // User signed is or was authenticated during load
    user_signed_in = true;
    GenericStore.defaultUserId = user.uid;

  } else if ( user_signed_in ) {

    // User was signed in and now signed out
    GenericStore.defaultUserId = null;
    GenericStore.resetState();
    user_signed_in = false;

  } else {

    // User was not authenticated during load
    user_signed_in = false;

  }
});
