2. Afterchange

doc

when item is created by the local API (seed script).

{
  id: '643ff4d0ce7ee4e37b366562',
    geojson_file: {
    id: '643ff4d0ce7ee4e37b366560',
      filename: 'redacted.geojson',
      ...more
  },
  type: 'prediction',
    location: {
    id: '643ff4cdce7ee4e37b3664db',
      name: 'redacted',
      image: {
      id: '643ff4cdce7ee4e37b3664d9',
        name: 'redacted',
        ...more
    },
    extent: { type: 'Feature', properties: {}, geometry: [Object] },
    surface_area_ha: 188,
      n_analyses: 2,
      ...more
  },
  is_impartial: true,
    orthophoto: {
    id: '643ff4cece7ee4e37b3664fc',
      name: 'redacted',
      ...more

  species: {
    id: '643ff4cece7ee4e37b3664f5',
      name: 'redacted',
      image: {

        ...more
    }
  },
  createdAt: '2023-04-19T14:04:00.817Z',
  updatedAt: '2023-04-19T14:04:00.817Z'
}

Seed code:

await payload.create({
    collection: 'analyses',
    data: {
        ...params,
        type: 'prediction',
        geojson_file: geojson.id
    }
});

This results in breaking the

afterChange

function since I call a find on my

geojson_file

id: doc.geojson_file

. However, when seeding this is not necessary (and possible) since it is already included. What's the intended behaviour here and how to fix?

In case this is not intended behaviour I'm happy to create a Github issue and a reproducible repo.

Hey
@399871533276987392
did you end up opening an issue for this one?

No, I ended up just writing a utility function that checks whether or not the value is an object (the resource itself) or a string (the ID), and if it is the latter fetch it and return it

import payload from 'payload';
import { Config } from 'payload/generated-types';
import { isString } from './isString';

export const getResource = <CollectionType>(
  resourceOrId,
  collection: keyof Config['collections']
): Promise<CollectionType> => {
  // doc.geojson_file could be either string (ID) or the object itself.
  // See: https://discord.com/channels/967097582721572934/1098250710547710092/1098250710547710092
  if (!isString(resourceOrId)) {
    return resourceOrId;
  }

  // @ts-ignore
  return payload.findByID({
    collection,
    id: resourceOrId
  });
};

Note: The typings are not 100% correct (e.g.: missing Promise)
