Question on routes

[casalot]

If I have two entity models as follows:

module.exports = {
  identity: 'assessment',
  attributes: {
  id: {
      columnName: 'assessmentId',
      type: 'integer',
      primaryKey: true,
      autoIncrement: true,
      unique: true
    },
    questionnaire: {
      columnName: 'questionnaireId',
      model: 'questionnaire'
  }
}

module.exports = {
  identity: 'questionnaire',
  attributes: {
    id: {
      columnName: 'questionnaireId',
      type: 'integer',
      primaryKey: true,
      autoIncrement: true,
      unique: true
    },
    title: {
      type : 'string',
      required: true,
      maxLength: 100
    },
    assessments: {
      collection: 'assessment',
      via: 'questionnaire'
    }
  }
}

I can use the route GET /api/csqa/assessments?questionnaire=1 to get all assessments link to questionnaire 1.

Butt, how would I specify the inverse. i.e. getting all questionnaires used by assessment 1?

I would use a "populate" route for that, GET /api/csqa/assessment/1/questionnaires or possibly, GET /api/csqa/assessment/1?populate=questionnaires.

The latter should include the assessment and its questionnaires, while the former should just return the array of questionnaires.
