Has many through relation, count always returns 0 - loopbackjs

Question

I have a table of companies, a table of addresses and a companiesaddresses table to normalize the many to many relationship. Loopback is working just fine to add a company, add an address to a company and I can even query using the API explorer an address associated with a company using the (POST /Companies/{id}/addresses/{fk}) method.
However, when I try to get all the addresses associated with a company (GET /Companies/{id}/addresses) I get back an empty array. Also when I perform a count on how many addresses a particular company has ( GET /Companies/{id}/addresses/count) I always get 0.
I'm sure I'm missing something really tiny. My datasource is postgresql.

Answer 1

The foreign keys in companies and addresses are as follows:
**common/models/companies.json**
"relations": {
"addresses": {
"type": "hasMany",
"model": "Addresses",
"foreignKey": "addressesid", <---- this should be companiesid
"through": "CompaniesAddresses"
}
}
On the flip side (addresses) do the same modification, all will work.
