Inconsistent pointer type in query results after issuing Mutation.Create
I have a query that automatically updates when I issue a Mutation.Create. However, the pointer values of my results are inconsistent between objects that were pulled from the server and objects that were just added via the Mutation.Create.
- The objects that came from the server were flattened, so their id is in a field called
objectId. - The objects that came from the mutation are ordinary parse object pointers (just like in the Mutation.Create), so their id is in a field called
id.
This makes it challenging to use query results, since I constantly have to check what type the pointers are.
Below is an example component where this occurs:
const React = require('react');
const Parse = require('parse').Parse;
const ParseReact = require('parse-react');
const Comment = Parse.Object.extend('Comment');
const User = Parse.Object.extend('User');
const CommentBox = React.createClass({
mixins: [ParseReact.Mixin],
observe() {
return {comments: new Parse.Query(Comment)};
},
handleNewComment(event) {
event.preventDefault();
ParseReact.Mutation.Create('Comment', {
body: React.findDOMNode(this.refs.newComment).value,
user: new User({id: this.props.curUser.objectId}),
}).dispatch();
},
render() {
console.log(this.data.comments.map(x => x.user.id));
console.log(this.data.comments.map(x => x.user.objectId));
return (
<form onSubmit={this.handleNewComment}>
<input type="text" ref="newComment" />
<button type="submit">Send</button>
</form>
);
},
});
module.exports = CommentBox;
When loading the page, the console log looks like:
[Id, Id]
["W4fOmMXg", "W4fOmMXg"]
After submitting a comment, it outputs:
[Id, Id, "W4fOmMXg"]
["W4fOmMXg", "W4fOmMXg", undefined]
Thank you for reporting this issue and appreciate your patience. We've notified the core team for an update on this issue. We're looking for a response within the next 30 days or the issue may be closed.
Any updates about this? does this also happen when using parse-react with parse-sdk-js 1.6.14?
