Resolving references

[PhilipHenworx]

I'm using the movies example from here: https://ngneat.github.io/elf/docs/features/entities/ui-entities

After all is set up, it adds the "Gone in 60 Seconds" entity to the movies, with genres: ['1'] and actors: ['1'].
Is there a way to resolve the reference when retrieving the movie entity? console.log-ing the state says it is exactly, what is written: genres and actors are just string arrays.

I could re-define the interface / class of Movie so genres and actors are Genre[] and Actor[], but when I update... let's say the "Nicolas Cage" entity name to "Nic Cage", the changes won't reflect in the movie.

You need to create a query that builds it based on the ids:

  store
      .combine({
        movies: store.pipe(selectAll()),
        geners: store.pipe(selectEntities({ ref: GenresEntitiesRef })),
        actors: store.pipe(selectEntities({ ref: ActorsEntitiesRef })),
      })
      .pipe(map(data => {
 		return data.movies.map(movie => {
			return { 
                    ...movie, 
                   genres: movie.genres.map(id => data.genres[id]),
                   actors: movie.actors.map(id => data.actors[id])
             }
         })
 }));
