Newbie Qs

following features
A) Can we add / search within subdirectories? So far, I can only see
that a client can operate on 'parentdir', not 'parentdir/childdir'. So
the example on the site, gives i., but it would also be nice to do
ii.:
i. (client ["insert" "parentdir" {"id" 1, "tag" "parent" }])
ii. (client ["insert" "parentdir/childdir" {"id" 1, "tag" "child" }])
B) Can we search within a document that's more than 1 level deep. So,
for the document below, how can I select a "child" with a value of
"foo" (if possible).
{"id" 1, :tag :parent,
:children { "id" 1.1, "tag" "child", "value" "foo" } }
Or would i just get the document and search a big s-expr?
Thanks in advance

Right, FleetDB does not have a notion of subdirectories on
collections. If you have few such subdirectories, I'd suggest making a
collection for each. If you have many, the subdir name should be an
attribute of the record.

Right, you can only search 1 level deep. You can consider flattening
and unflattening the data in your application to achieve a similar
effect.
