Parent/child relations made simple

by Knut Martin Tornes

|

A parent/child-relation is a convenient way of organizing and viewing information in a one-to-many relationship. If you think about it, we use it all the time:

Folders and files on your computer
Comments on a blog post
Activities on a project
Interactions with a customer

Creating this form of relation is very simple in restdb.io. In this blog post we will show you how to add some "Notes" to a "Lead" in a simple CRM system.

Step 1 - Activate "Developer Mode"

Step 2 - Add New Field

Step 3 - In "Relations to Collections", select "notes" collection.

Step 4 - Select relation type "Sublist" and press "Create"

Step 5 - We're done - now we can add "Note" children to each "Lead"

Extra: We can now use the REST API to get all "Notes" for a "Lead"
