relatedFilter

relatedFilter in a $findWithRelated query#

Insert a relatedFilter in your findWithRelated query to filter for parent items that match a child item query across named user collections. To include the child items that match in your response, insert “includeResult”: true in your relatedFilter.

For more information on the relatedFilter structure and fields and how you insert the relatedFilter in a findWithRelated query request, see the following example code structure with reference to Table 1:

{  "$findWithRelated": {    "parent": {      //see table 1 and the findWithRelated code example    },    "relatedFilter": {      "includeResult": true,      "$or" | "$and": [        {          "relatedDesc": {            //"<criteria to look up parent-child relationship>": "<value>"          },          "query": {            //"<criteria to filter the child related items you selected in the             //related.relatedDesc query>": "<property value to query>"          },          "options": {            "project": {              //"<child related item field to appear in the response>": 1            },            "page": {              "_pageSize": //<page size value you want as integer>              "_offset": //<offset size value you want as integer>            },            "sort": {              //"<property you want to sort by in the response>": 1            }          },          "as": "<property name for the path query results in the response>"        }      ]    }  }}   

Table 1: relatedFilter in findWithRelated query fields

FieldTypeRequiredDescription
parentObjectRequiredYou must add a parent object that contains the look up criteria for the parent collection and related items. For more information, see parent in the FindWithRelated query fields table.
relatedFilterObjectRequiredFilter for parent items that match a child item query. You can also use relatedFilter in combination with a related query or a relatedDistinctFields query
relatedFilter.includeResultBooleanOptionalEnter "includeResult" = true to include the child item filter results in the response
relatedFilter.[$or|$and]ListRequiredIn a list, enter the child item filter arguments you want either the OR or AND logical operator to evaluate.
relatedFilter.[$or|$and].relatedDescObjectRequiredAdd your relationship query as a valid simple query. For more information on query operators, see Supported Query Operators
relatedFilter.[$or|$and].queryObjectOptionalAdd criteria to filter the child related items you selected in the related.relatedDesc query. For more information on query operators, see Supported Query Operators
relatedFilter.[$or|$and].optionsObjectOptionalAdd projection, page, and sort options for the relatedFilter response
relatedFilter.[$or|$and].options.projectObjectOptionalEnable or disable the child related item fields in the response with simple query projection
relatedFilter.[$or|$and].options.pageObjectOptionalSet the response pagination options, such as _offset and _pageSize. The default value for _offset is 0 and for _pageSize is 200.
relatedFilter.[$or|$and].options.asStringRequiredName the property that contains the relatedFilter results in the response.
This property is required if you set relatedFilter.includeResult to true.
