Adding to a relation¶
This operation adds child objects to a parent in a relationship. Unlike the Setting a relation operation, which removes any existing child objects and sets the provided children, this operation adds the children to the existing ones.
// Add the objects represented by the "children"
// argument to the children of the parent object.
// The "children" argument can be either:
// - a whereClause
// - OpResult
// - list of the objectId/Map/Custom class object values.
//
// The "parent" argument can be:
// - a Map
// - objectId
// - custom class instance
// - OpResult
// - OpResultValueReference.
unitOfWorkInstance.addToRelation(dynamic parent,
String columnName,
dynamic children,
[String parentTable]);
Return Value¶
The operation returns an OpResult object which represents the result of this operation - number of child objects added to the relation.
Examples¶
The examples are organized by two levels: first is how the parent object is represented in the client program, then by the type of the child collection.
