Keystone JS , what field type we can you on saving an array of objects #4966

Rajivkumar1234 · 2019-09-12T09:00:32Z

In my program I generated an array of objects which is the ImageData , Now I want to save that data to mongo Db , I have no problem with other Keys except the ImageData key because I dont know what field type to use to be able to insert those data below which are an array of objects . What field type in keystone we could use to save those array of object example below ?. Thank you.

#Model

Data.add({
    name: { type: String, required: false },
    Type: { type: Types.Select, options: 'New, Used,', index: true },
    ImageData: { type: Types.TextArray },
    content: {
        brief: { type: Types.Html, wysiwyg: true, height: 150 },
        extended: { type: Types.Html, wysiwyg: true, height: 400 },
    },
});

#JSON DATA - Key and value


 ImageData :  [ 
       { 
          "Uri":"Test.com",
          "Hash":"42e04950d6f11cd5350e3179083c7c7f",
          "Path":"/public/server/img/de29d68ab3594032bef70ead0b0d8fc2.jpg"
       },
       { 
          "Uri":"Test.com",
          "Hash":"42e04950d6f11cd5350e3179083c7c7f",
          "Path":"/public/server/img/de29d68ab3594032bef70ead0b0d8fc2.jpg"
       }
    ]

There's no field type for something like that. Ideally, it would look like a repeater field type if you're coming from Wordpress.

You can always store the array as a type : Schema.Types.Mixed Eg:

var Schema = mongoose.Schema;
Data.schema.add({
ImageData : {
type : Schema.Types.Mixed
}
});

Keep in mind that it won't render on the admin UI. You can still use it as an array-of-objects field programmatically.

Does this works on the keystone 4 ?

shash7 · 2019-09-20T03:49:04Z

Yep, this is for keystone 4

jelordreygulle · 2019-09-20T03:53:39Z

So a seperate model that would handle the the mixed schema ?

var Schema = mongoose.Schema;
Data.schema.add({
ImageData : {
type : Schema.Types.Mixed
}
});


Data.add({
    name: { type: String, required: false },
    Type: { type: Types.Select, options: 'New, Used,', index: true },
    content: {
        brief: { type: Types.Html, wysiwyg: true, height: 150 },
        extended: { type: Types.Html, wysiwyg: true, height: 400 },
    },
});

    },
});

No, not a seperate schema(you can do that too if it floats your boat) but just a mixed types field.
For example:

Data.add({
    name: { type: String, required: false },
    Type: { type: Types.Select, options: 'New, Used,', index: true },
    ImageData : { type : Schema.Types.Mixed },
    content: {
        brief: { type: Types.Html, wysiwyg: true, height: 150 },
        extended: { type: Types.Html, wysiwyg: true, height: 400 },
    },
});

That would raise an error throw new Error('Unrecognised field constructor: ' + options.type);****

Are you using keystone 4? If you can show me your model file I can try to figure out the problem.

var keystone = require('keystone');
var Types = keystone.Field.Types;
var mongoose = require('mongoose');

/**
	Vehicle

var Vehicle = new keystone.List('Vehicle', {
	label: 'Vehicle',
});

var Schema = mongoose.Schema;


var vehicleImgStorage = new keystone.Storage({
	adapter: keystone.Storage.Adapters.FS,
	fs: {
		// required; path where the files should be stored	
		path: keystone.expandPath('server/public/img'),
		generateFilename: function (file, index) {
			return file.originalname;
		},
		schema: {
			url: true,

		},
		whenExists: 'error',
		// path where files will be served
		publicPath: '/public/img',
	},
});


Vehicle.add({
	name: { type: String, required: false },
	Type: { type: Types.Select, options: 'New, Used,', index: true },
	Stock: { type: String, required: false },
	ImageData : { type : Schema.Types.Mixed },
	Comment: { type: String, required: false },
	FuelType: { type: String, required: false },
	DriveType: { type: String, required: false },
	state: { type: Types.Select, options: 'draft, published, archived', default: 'published', index: true },

	content: {

		extended: { type: Types.Html, wysiwyg: true, height: 400 },
	},
});

// Vehicle.schema.add({
// 	ImageData: {
// 		type: Schema.Types.Mixed
// 	},
// 	TestData:{
// 		type: Schema.Types.Mixed

// 	}
// });

Vehicle.schema.post('save', function () {
	if (!this.wasNew) return;
	if (this.author) {
		keystone.list('User').model.findById(this.author).exec(function (err, user) {
			if (user) {
				user.wasActive().save();
			}
		});
	}
});

Vehicle.track = true;
Vehicle.defaultColumns = 'Type , Model , VIN , Stock ';
Vehicle.register();

Vehicle.schema.add({
	ImageData: {
		type: Schema.Types.Mixed

@shash7 , does not work either

shash7 · 2019-09-26T07:55:18Z

@shash7 , does not work either

As in, does keystone crash or does the model not show imageData. Cause there won't be a UI for imageData as there's no field available for the mixed data type.

jelordreygulle · 2019-09-26T08:05:06Z

Cause there won't be a UI for imageData as there's no field available for the mixed data type , you are talking about the UI on the admin of keystone right ?

shash7 · 2019-09-26T08:42:11Z

Yep

jelordreygulle · 2019-09-26T08:46:08Z

Yep

Yeah2, I know it wont appear.

jelordreygulle · 2019-09-26T08:48:39Z

Just don't know why it does not seem to work , no error either .

shash7 · 2019-09-26T08:48:58Z

Hi sir , ah , may i ask a question about configuring keystone js plus mongo grid fs?

I don't know much about mongo fs but I highly recommend using cloudinary or s3 as they make it way easier to handle files.

What do you mean it doesn't work. Give me some specifics.

jelordreygulle · 2019-10-02T07:04:50Z

Data is not being added , checked the mongo db

shash7 · 2019-10-02T11:47:16Z

How are you adding the data? Do you have some code you can show?

wenchao1020 · 2019-10-15T08:54:49Z

you can use Types.List (in branch nested-lists-fork), and I have forked for the master in my github

ishan123456789 · 2020-03-19T10:31:47Z

Any solution for this I need to do the same? @wenchao1020 @shash7 I have an unknown object instead which may vary so can't define a schema for it

shash7 · 2020-03-19T22:45:27Z

I use this to add an object with mixed values:

var mongoose = require("mongoose");
var Schema = mongoose.Schema;

var User = new keystone.List("User", {
});

User.add({
// .. add your fields here
});

User.schema.add({
	meta: {
		type: Schema.Types.Mixed
	}
});

Add this after your keystone schema definition. Keep in mind that there will be no admin UI for this.
