## Refresh hasMany relationship in smart action

**Context**: In this example I have a model `tenants` that hasMany records from a model `ssoProviders`. I want to create a new ssoProvider from a smart action accessible at the level of a tenant and refresh the list of ssoProviders shown in the summary view.

### Models

```jsx

      timestamps: false,
      schema: process.env.DATABASE_SCHEMA,

### Smart action definition

in the file `forest/tenants.js`

```jsx
const { collection } = require('forest-express-sequelize');

// This file allows you to add to your Forest UI:
// - Smart actions: <https://docs.forestadmin.com/documentation/reference-guide/actions/create-and-manage-smart-actions>
// - Smart fields: <https://docs.forestadmin.com/documentation/reference-guide/fields/create-and-manage-smart-fields>
// - Smart relationships: <https://docs.forestadmin.com/documentation/reference-guide/relationships/create-a-smart-relationship>
// - Smart segments: <https://docs.forestadmin.com/documentation/reference-guide/segments/smart-segments>
collection('tenants', {
  actions: [
    {
      name: 'add provider',
      type: 'single',
    },
  ],
  fields: [],
  segments: [],
});
```

in the file `routes/tenants.js`

```javascript
const express = require('express');
const { PermissionMiddlewareCreator } = require('forest-express-sequelize');
const { tenants, ssoProviders } = require('../models');

const router = express.Router();
const permissionMiddlewareCreator = new PermissionMiddlewareCreator('tenants');

...

router.post('/actions/add-provider', permissionMiddlewareCreator.smartAction(), (req, res) => {
  const tenantIdKey = req.body.data.attributes.ids[0];
  const description = `test ${Math.floor(Math.random() * 100)}`;

  return ssoProviders
    .create({
      description,
      tenantIdKey,
    })
    .then(() => {
      res.send({
        success: 'Added new provider',
        refresh: { relationships: ['ssoProviders'] },
      });
    });
});

module.exports = router;
