dataValues returns relationship information while getDataValues does not
The getDataValues
method uses the model schema to gather all data properties of an instance:
https://github.com/themetalfleece/neogma/blob/7bb78abd7c239f29317f4bfe00d0159c0690275d/src/ModelOps/ModelOps.ts#L534-L542
This is will only return the instance properties.
However, during the build process of a new instance, the dataValues
property gets defined using both schema and relationships:
https://github.com/themetalfleece/neogma/blob/7bb78abd7c239f29317f4bfe00d0159c0690275d/src/ModelOps/ModelOps.ts#L581-L594
This means using instance.dataValues
will return not only the instance properties, but also a Neogma-specific parameter for the instance's relationship, e.g.:
{
"name": "test",
"uuid": "3806f29b-257c-4e12-be6b-6b8c1fe88e2f"
"relationAlias": {
"where": [
{
"params": {
"name": "test2"
}
}
]
},
}
}
This might be intended but it was the source of some confusion. In my opinion, dataValues
should not contain relationship info.
