Loopback include filter within scope works for GET but fails for POST request - loopbackjs

I have this scope defined in my order.json which has relation with branch and customer along with other properties.
"name": "Order",
"properties":{...},
"relations": {...},
"acls": {...},
"scope": {
"include": [
{"relation": "branch", "scope": { "fields": "BranchName" } },
{"relation": "customer", "scope": { "fields": "CustomerName" } }
]
}
This works well as expected in all GET requests with following results
[
{
"OrderDate": "2018-01-12T17:52:21.000Z",
"CustomerId": 39,
"BranchId": 5,
"CustomerRef": "Order by Phone",
...
"CreatedBy": 1,
"id": 1,
"branch": {
"BranchName": "aaaa",
"id": 5
},
"customer": {
"CustomerName": "xxxx",
"id": 39
}
}
]
I was expecting a similar result, however, the response array received after a successful POST request does not include BranchName and CustomerName info from the related models.
Am I doing it correctly? or is there any other way to get back information from related models after a Create/Update operation. I am just trying to avoid another GET request immediately after Create/Update.

You can use the Operation hook after save.
Order.observe('after save', function(ctx, next) {
if (ctx.instance) {
ctx.instance.relatedmodel = someFunctionToGetRelatedModel();
}
next();
});
Whatever is inside the ctx.instance should be included in loopbacks responses.
You just have to figure out how to seamlessly pull the related model details, you want to include.

I want to use predict method in order to get recommendation devided by page.
This method has pageToken parameter used for paging. The parameter should be received in the previous prediction response.

Ember Cli Mirage: Active Model Adapter with JSONAPISerializer

I am on halfway of implementing JSON API structure (with underscore attributes).
Actual state for development environment is:
I use the Active Model Adapter structure for requesting to the backend for resources and backend response me with JSON API structure.
In Application Serializer I am using JSONAPISerializer. I override methods:
serializeBelongsTo
keyForRelationship
keyForAttribute
serialize
serializeAttribute
serializeHasMany
and for development, everything works for me (backend in Rails communicate with Ember very good).
The problem is with Ember CLI Mirage and conventions (not sure if there are simple solutions or I need to override again methods in this addon).
Actual state with Ember Cli Mirage and test environment:
I am using import { JSONAPISerializer } from 'ember-cli-mirage';
and then trying to manipulate proper request and then transform it for JSON API format.
It could work like this:
Ember Adapter (Active Model Adapter format - with underscore attributes) ---> Mirage Serializer should get request (find resources created before in tests with associations) and then response it with JSON API format ---> JSON API Serializer could catch it and fill Ember DS.
For now, I have a missing part to serialize it for all cases to JSON API standard (with underscored attributes)
Where should I do this transformation to minimize overriding JSONAPISerializer Mirage Serializer.
I noticed that there are some helpers, but I have a problem to wrap this knowledge together
(http://www.ember-cli-mirage.com/docs/advanced/route-handlers#helpers)

UPDATE2
structure from mirage response:
data: {
attributes: {
my_attribute: 'my_attribute',
second_resource_ids: [36, 37],
fifth_resource_ids: []
},
id: 11,
relationships: {
third_resource_other_type: {data: null}
fourth_resource: {data: null}
second_resources: {data: []}
},
type: "first_resources"
}
resources in tests:
server.create('second-resource', {
id: 36,
first_resource_id: '11',
my_attribute: "my_attribute"
});
server.create('eighth-resource', {
id: 140,
second_resource_id: 37
});
server.create('eighth-resource', {
id: 141,
second_resource_id: 37
});
server.create('second-resource', {
id: 37,
first_resource_id: '11',
eighth_resource_ids: [140, 141]
});
server.create('first-resource', {
id: 11,
second_resource_ids: [36, 37]
});
first_resource model in mirage:
export default Model.extend({
third_resource_other_type: belongsTo(),
fourth_resource: belongsTo(),
fifth_resources: hasMany(),
second_resources: hasMany()
});
Let's try to focus a single relationship, since there's a lot going on in the question you've posted. We'll look at second-resource.
It looks like Mirage is sending back second_resource_ids under the attributes key of the first_resource primary data in the JSON:API payload. That tells me Mirage thinks second_resource_ids is an attribute of first_resource, when in fact it's a relationship.
Assuming your Models & Relationships are setup correctly, you need to tweak the way you're creating data in Mirage.
If you take a look at the Associations section of the Defining Routes guide, you'll see this message:
Mirage's database uses camelCase for all model attributes, including foreign keys (e.g. authorId in the example above)
Right now, you're doing this:
server.create('second-resource', {
id: 36,
first_resource_id: '11',
my_attribute: "my_attribute"
});
server.create('first-resource', {
id: 11,
second_resource_ids: [36, 37]
});
But from Mirage's perspective, you need to use camelCase IDs, or just pass in the relationships, to set these up correctly. Something like this:
let firstResource = server.create('first-resource', {
id: 11
});
server.create('second-resource', {
id: 36,
firstResource,
myAttribute: "my_attribute"
});
You could also pass in the foreign key on creation if you wanted - just be sure to use camelCase:
server.create('second-resource', {
id: 36,
firstResourceId: '11',
myAttribute: "my_attribute"
});
Just remember that the formatting decisions for things like attributes and foreign keys (things like some-attribute vs. some_attribute or relationship-id vs. relationship_id) are made at the serializer layer. When dealing with Mirage's ORM and database, you want to stick to camelCase, regardless of the format your Serializer emits.
For more information, have a look at these sections from the docs:
"Associations and serializers" section of the Quickstart
Defining relationships
"Working with relationships" section of the Factories guide

Is it possible to suppress fields from API results?

For example, I wish to get the like count for each post without getting name and Id details of each like.
The likes attribute returned for a call to me/posts?fields=likes.summary(true) would be:
"likes": {
"data": [
{
"id": "aaa",
"name": "bbb"
},
{
"id": "ccc",
"name": "ddd"
},
...
...
],
"summary": {
"total_count": 56,
"can_like": true,
"has_liked": false
}
}
It's the "data" attribute I'd like to suppress coming back due to it (and the same for comments and other fields I'd like to turn off) substantially increasing the bandwidth of data received.
It's the "data" attribute I'd like to suppress coming back due to it (and the same for comments and other fields I'd like to turn off) substantially increasing the bandwidth of data received.
Specify a limit of 0, then you will just get an empty data structure:
me/posts?fields=likes.summary(true).limit(0)
If you enumerate the post id's, you can then get the summary of likes for each post by calling:
/<post-id>/likes?summary=true&fields=total_count
This returns something like:
{
"data": [
{
"id": "<id>"
}
],
"paging": {
"cursors": {
"before": "...",
"after": "..."
}
},
"summary": {
"total_count": 3,
"can_like": true,
"has_liked": false
}
}

How do you handle large relationship data attributes and compound documents?

If an article has several comments (think thousands over time). Should data.relationships.comments return with a limit?
{
"data": [
{
"type": "articles",
"id": 1,
"attributes": {
"title": "Some title",
},
"relationships": {
"comments": {
"links": {
"related": "https://www.foo.com/api/v1/articles/1/comments"
},
"data": [
{ "type": "comment", "id": "1" }
...
{ "type": "comment", "id": "2000" }
]
}
}
}
],
"included": [
{
"type": "comments",
"id": 1,
"attributes": {
"body": "Lorem ipusm",
}
},
.....
{
"type": "comments",
"id": 2000,
"attributes": {
"body": "Lorem ipusm",
}
},
]
}
This starts to feel concerning, when you think of compound documents (http://jsonapi.org/format/#document-compound-documents). Which means, the included section will list all comments as well, making the JSON payload quite large.
If you want to limit the number of records you get at a time from a long list use pagination (JSON API spec).
I would load the comments separately with store.query (ember docs), like so -
store.query('comments', { author_id: <author_id>, page: 3 });
which will return the relevant subset of comments.
If you don't initially want to make two requests per author, you could include the first 'page' in the authors request as you're doing now.
You may also want to look into an addon like Ember Infinity (untested), which will provide an infinite scrolling list and automatically make pagination requests.

What is the "likes" field from an FB Open Graph GET og.likes request?

I've implemented functionality to Like a non-FB URL in a cross-platform mobile app (Phonegap) I'm developing, and part of functionality is that I need to find out if a user has liked a URL before, hence a GET on the og.likes object. In the result of this request there's a field in the og.likes data that I'm unsure about.
My request:
GET me/og.likes?access_token={AccessToken}&object={EncodedExternalURL}
The response:
{
"data": [
{
"id": "_____",
"from": {
"id": "______",
"name": "______"
},
"start_time": "2015-01-12T06:17:24+0000",
"end_time": "2015-01-12T06:17:24+0000",
"publish_time": "2015-01-12T06:17:24+0000",
"application": {
"name": "______",
"namespace": "______",
"id": "______"
},
"data": {
"object": {
"id": "____",
"url": "____",
"type": "website",
"title": "____"
}
},
"type": "og.likes",
"no_feed_story": false,
"likes": { // <-- this guy here and its properties
"count": 0,
"can_like": true,
"user_likes": false
},
"comments": {
"count": 0,
"can_comment": true,
"comment_order": "chronological"
}
}
],
"paging": {
"next": "____"
}
}
What is the likes field? And the sub properties of count, can_like, user_likes? Is it that other users can like this Like?
likes field is for manage the likes that this like has. Users can like or comment a like.
