Create a scope more than one level away based on a Smart field
Context: As a user I want to create a scope on a table that does not have the tag column in the table.
As a user I want to create a scope on related tables more than one level away
Example:
The objective is to implement scopes on all tables, filtering oncompanies to make sure that companies can only see their own data. In this example, companies has many departments, departments has many users. The company id is not in users table but in the departments table. We want to scope users according to a company value.
Step 1: Create a smart field and the filter for the users table
users tableconst { collection } = require('forest-express-sequelize');
const { users, departments, companies } = require('../models');
const models = require('../models');
const { Op } = models.objectMapping;
collection('users', {
actions: [],
fields: [
{
field: 'company name',
isFilterable: true,
type: 'String',
get: async (user) => {
//We are looking for the company name of the user (user belongs to a department that belongs to a company)
const company = await companies.findOne({
attributes: ['name'],
include: {
required: true,
model: departments,
where: { id: user.departmentId },
},
});
return company.name;
},
filter: async ({ condition: { value, operator } }) => {
switch (operator) {
case 'equal':
//We are looking for all the users ids that have a company name equal to the condition value
const queryToFindUsers = await users.findAll({
attributes: ['id'],
include: [
{
required: true,
model: departments,
include: [
{
required: true,
model: companies,
where: { name: { [Op.eq]: value } },
},
],
},
],
});
//We map this array of objects to retrieve the user ids
const userIds = queryToFindUsers.map((user) => user.id);
return { id: { [Op.in]: userIds } };
default:
return null;
}
},
},
],
segments: [],
});class Forest::Customer
include ForestLiana::Collection
collection :User
filter_company = lambda do |condition, where|
company_value = condition['value']
case condition['operator']
when 'equal'
"users.id IN (SELECT users.id
FROM users
JOIN departments ON departments.id = users.department_id
JOIN companies ON companies.id = departments.company_id
WHERE companies.name = '#{company_value}')"
end
end
field :company, type: 'String', is_filterable: true, filter: filter_company do
company = User.find(object.id).department.company
"#{company.name}"
end
end<?php

}Step 2: Configure the scope in the UI
In project settings:
In the table users
