Problem with localstorage store and model with hasMany association

[kostysh]

Is store with 'localstorage' proxy is support a models with hasMany associations?
I have a model with one hasMany association:

Ext.define('Cart', {
    extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
    config: {
        fields: [
            {name: 'id', type: 'string'},
            {name: 'created', type: 'date'}
            {name: 'status', type: 'boolean'}
        ],
        idProperty: 'id',
        identifier: {
            type: 'uuid'
        },
        associations: [
            {
                type: 'hasMany',
                model: 'Product',
                associationKey: 'products',
                foreignKey: 'cart_id',
                name: 'products',
                autoLoad: true
            }
        ]
    }
});

Ext.define('Product', {
    extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
    config: {
        fields: [
            {name: 'product_id', type: 'string'},
            {name: 'quantity', type: 'integer'},
            {name: 'cart_id', type: 'string'},
        ],
        idProperty: 'product_id',
        belongsTo: 'Cart'
    }
});

my store with localstorage proxy:

Ext.define('Cartstore', {
    extend: 'Ext.data.Store',
    config: {
        model: 'Cart',
        proxy: {
            type: 'localstorage',
            id: 'carts'
        }
    }
});

I tried to add record to store:

var newCart = Ext.create('Cart', {
            'created': new Date(),
            'status': true
        });
        newCart.products().add(Ext.create('Product', {
            'product_id': 10,
            'quantity': 1
        }));

        Ext.getStore('Cartstore').add(newCart).sync();

After that I see in localstorage first model data only without associated data.
No errors in console. But no associated data in localstorage.
Where I am wrong?

I think you should define a localstorage for your products and use the foreign key to select the right products when loading. I think the reason for you problem is found in the documentation, since localstorage says:

HTML5 localStorage is a key-value store (e.g. cannot save complex objects like JSON), so LocalStorageProxy automatically serializes and deserializes data when saving and retrieving it.

You might also have luck in configuring the store and/or writer, but I think having them in separate stores will be better. I've been programming with nested stores since yesterday (due to nested data in my JSON service) and I have to say I don't think it's pretty compared to normal store setup.

Make two separate stores for a cart and products - it's a good idea.
But I do not see any barriers for the storage of models with hasMany association because data is stored as single JSON-string.
Most likely this is error in localstorage proxy... or this proxy simply not support hasMany associations.
If so - then let the developers will confirm this.

I don't know if you have seen it, but this seems to answer your question: http://www.sencha.com/forum/showthre...l=1#post762500

It's not currently supported but something Tommy is working on how best to do it, it's actually harder than it seems.

for now my problem was fixed by adding a store configuration into hasMany association config (http://docs.sencha.com/touch/2-0/#!/...ny-cfg-store):

associations: [            {
                type: 'hasMany',
                model: 'Product',
                associationKey: 'products',
                foreignKey: 'cart_id',
                name: 'products',
                autoLoad: true,
                store: {
                    model: 'Product',
                    proxy: {
                        type: 'localstorage',
                        id: 'products'
                    }
                }
            }
        ]

and what is the result? I can store and read stored data with hasMany association.
As it turned, all included

I have not yet quite completely done tests about possibility of working with hasMany data. If I have any problems - I'll write here.
