Solved: How to add relationship

[eikaramba]

After several days i don't know what to do anymore. My use case is simple:

After a user is created let's add a default item to his inventory (MxN relationship)

According to the sequelize docs we just call the appropiate prototype function.

Let's say we have an after hook as following:

return function(hook) {
    if(hook.result){                                        //If user creation was successful
      return hook.app.service('items').get(1).then(item=> {        //Find default item ...
        hook.result.addInventory(item);                     //and add it to the user
      });
    }
  };

FYI, this is the model relation definition(vice versa for items):

user.associate = function(models) {
    user.belongsToMany(models.items, { as:'Inventories', through: 'inventories'});
  };

I got it working finally! I updated my code above. Don't know why it wasn't working like that from the beginning(must have made some silly error).

You have to return the promise, otherwise the hook won't wait for it to finish (which means that if the above code works it is only by accident):

return function(hook) {
  if(hook.result) {
    return hook.app.service('items').get(1).then(item => {
      hook.result.addInventory(item);
    });
  }
};

Yes you are right, actually i also added this in my code but forgot to update the code above.

Also even hook.result.addInventory(1) will work. Sequelize supports it to add a relation just with the ID alone.
