I want to be able to have a parent and child relationship of my documents? Can I use a nested document type, or is there another solution to this problem?
Currently, Swiftype’s document store does not nest documents. What we would recommend is for you to create two separate document types that have unique keys, with the children referencing the parent document.
For example, say you have document types of “posts” and each post has a number of “comments”. We recommend two document types of posts
and comments
. Each comments
document can then be created to include a field of post_id
to reference the original posts
document it relates to.
