Please be sure of your agent type and version and pick the right documentation accordingly.
This is the documentation of the forest-express-sequelize
and forest-express-mongoose
Node.js agents that will soon reach end-of-support.
forest-express-sequelize
v9 and forest-express-mongoose
v9 are replaced by v1.
Please check your agent type and version and read on or switch to the right documentation.
Context: As a user to choose the input for a smart action field from a list of labels and I want a label to be pre-selected depending on the record's information. The labels do not correspond to the value to be updated in the database.
Example: I have a collection companies
that has a status
field. The status value in the database can be rejected
or live
.
In a smart action called update company status I want users to be able to select an alias value (i.e. 'rejeté'
for rejected
and 'validé'
for live
).
In order not to duplicate the matching to be made between the different values from the UI to the database and the other way around, I create a company-status-handler
file that will allow me to handle the conversion.
services/companies-status-handler.js
forest/companies.js
routes/companies.js
