How can I embed documents in documents?

Mobile Couchbase Lite
1

Hi,
I have question about data modeling and the API of Couchbase Lite 2.0.

I am not sure how I can achieve embedding documents as described here (Embedding “1” in “many” side) with the current available API.

I expected some API like this:

let studentDocument = ...
let students = classDocument.array(forKey: "students")
students.appendDocument(studentDocument)

The only way I could find was referencing documents but not embed them.
Is there a way to embed documents with the current API otherwise it would be nice to have an API method for that?

Thanks

You cannot embed Document type documents into another Document but you can embed a JSON dictionary/map corresponding to the Documents that you want to nest.
So in your case, you would do something like this

// students is an array of JSON objects
classDocument.setArray(students, forKey: "students")
