What should the exports.paths look like in the flashlight config.js for nested types

[alex....@gmail.com]

Hi,

I have some data as follows.


    "sense_examples": {
        "-JvL_TBo-skW0UsJ2A8s": [{
            "source": "en-gb_zu_dict/20150722_878",
            "lang": "en-gb",
            "text": "He's a teacher",
            "example_id": "-JvL_TBoGemVceuw60T-"
        }],
      
        "-JvL_TCTkZJ4ltzncymn": [
            {
                "source": "en-gb_zu_dict/20150722_878",
                "lang": "en-gb",
                "text": "I have come here so that we can talk about what happened yesterday",
                "example_id": "-JvL_TCUP6nklOhw_t-J"
            },
            {
                "source": "en-gb_zu_dict/20150722_878",
                "lang": "en-gb",
                "text": "My house is about five minutes' walk from my school",
                "example_id": "-JvL_TCVideSNdg1uK7O"
            }
        ],

In editing the config.js file that comes with flashlight I thought perhaps leaving the fields blank might index things however it doesn't work. I've tried a number of possibilities.

 {
      path:  "sense_examples",
      index: "firebase",
      type:  "sense_examples"
   }

Any thoughts on how I need to edit the exports.paths effectively to index the nested objects under sense_examples?

Thanks
Alex

Alex,

If your keys indeed reference arrays, you won't be able to index them. You'd need to modify this data structure to use a hash and nix the arrays. You may be able to get some ideas from our structuring data guide.

I hope that helps!
