# Nesting Models
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Objectives
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Currently, we only have two unrelated models: people and locations. Let's add the functionality so that whenever we have JSON that represents a person, it will contain a `home` property, which is the associated `location` object:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```JSON
|
||||||
|
{
|
||||||
|
"id":4,
|
||||||
|
"name":"Bob",
|
||||||
|
"age":25,
|
||||||
|
"home": {
|
||||||
|
"id":2,
|
||||||
|
"street": "123 Fake Street",
|
||||||
|
"city": "Aurora",
|
||||||
|
"state": "NY"
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Also, when we have a location, it will contain an array of people objects:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```JSON
|
||||||
|
{
|
||||||
|
"id":2,
|
||||||
|
"street": "123 Fake Street",
|
||||||
|
"city": "Aurora",
|
||||||
|
"state": "NY",
|
||||||
|
"inhabitants":[
|
||||||
|
{
|
||||||
|
"id":4,
|
||||||
|
"name":"Bob",
|
||||||
|
"age":25
|
||||||
|
},
|
||||||
|
{
|
||||||
|
"id":7,
|
||||||
|
"name":"Sally",
|
||||||
|
"age":74
|
||||||
|
},
|
||||||
|
]
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This will be a one-to-many relationship
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Add home_id to people
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
First, go into `psql` and add a `home_id` INT column to the `people` table:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```sql
|
||||||
|
ALTER TABLE people ADD COLUMN home_id INT;
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Now we can give people homes like so:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```sql
|
||||||
|
UPDATE people SET home_id = 2 WHERE id = 4;
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The previous code will find the row with an `id` of 4 and set the `home_id` column to 2;
