Usage example

import { Meteor } from 'meteor/meteor';
import { Document, Model } from 'simple-relations';
import type { HasManyRelation, BelongsToRelation } from 'simple-relations';
 
let Accounts;
let Transactions;
 
 
class Account extends Document {
  ingoingTransactions: HasManyRelation<Transaction, *> = this.hasMany('ingoingTransactions', {
    collection() { return Transactions; },
    foreignKey: () => 'targetAccountId',
    options: () => ({ sort: { insertedAt: -1 } }), // default options for generated cursors
  });
 
  outgoingTransactions: HasManyRelation<Transaction, *> = this.hasMany('outgoingTransactions', {
    collection() { return Transactions; },
    foreignKey: () => 'sourceAccountId',
    options: () => ({ sort: { insertedAt: -1 } }),  // default options for generated cursors
    allowedIds: () => ['a', 'b'] // Limits assignable IDs in generated SimpleSchema
  });
}
 
 
export default class Transaction extends Document {
  sourceAccount: BelongsToRelation<Account, *> = this.belongsTo('sourceAccount', {
    collection: () => Accounts,
  });
 
  targetAccount: BelongsToRelation<Account, *> = this.belongsTo('targetAccount', {
    collection: () => Accounts,
  });
}
 
const Accounts = new Meteor.Collection('Accounts', { transform: d => new Account(d) });
const Transactions = new Meteor.Collection('Transactions', { transform: d => new Transaction(d) });
 
// Generate some transactions and insert them into the database
['a', 'b'].forEach(_id => Accounts.insert({ _id });
Transactions.insert({ sourceAccountId: 'a', targetAccountId: 'b' });
Transactions.insert({ sourceAccountId: 'b', targetAccountId: 'a' });
 
// Use accessors to fetch related data from the database
const transactions = Accounts.findOne('a').ingoingTransactions.find().fetch();
const account = transactions[0].sourceAccount.findOne();
 
// Creates a SimpleSchema definition object
const TransactionSchema = Transaction.generateSimpleSchema();
