Live query with include won't work #1686
Description
I have a table, one of the table fields points to the users table, here is my code:
var subscription = (new Parse.Query('Queue')).include('requestingUser').subscribe();
subscription.on('create', function(queueObject) {
queueObject.get('requestingUser') // user object
queueObject.get('requestingUser').get('name') // undefined
})
Within the parse server index.js I set:
liveQuery: {
classNames: ["_User", "User", "Queue"] // Just in case I did try "_User" and "User"
}
I also tried another table, other than users table, doesn't work either.
This is the response(if it helps):

Honestly, I'm not sure if it's a bug but I was trying to find out if it's even possibly to use include with live query and didn't find anything like that in the docs, but the docs suggest that subscribe is just instead of find for example so I don't think include should be a problem and it is.

My understanding is that 'include' is not supported in LiveQuery yet. You will get back to the pointer information and can perform a fetch there or implement some local caching so you don't have to call the server to resolve those related records.

Currently I just use the pointer id the get the user I'm looking for via another query, so I didn't understand you perfectly, should I be able to use include or its not implemented yet(with LiveQuery)?

It's not implemented using Live Query. The way you are doing it is correct.
My last comment was just a suggestion that you keep user records in a local cache so you don't always have to immediately fetch from the server every time.

Hi to all! Any update or support about

Any news about that?

As @chadpav mentioned fetch the pointers or store them in local cache.
Since LDS (LocalDataStore) has been added you could use that for include.
@Jekos feel free to do a PR.

@dplewis I chose to go with @chadpav's method. Thanks.

I clearly see that there is interest in this topic. Is there a particular reason this won't work?
Is it possible to fix this?

Thanks for opening this issue!

This seems like a bit of random limitation that should not be there. Are there any plans to address this issue?

Does anyone want to open a PR?

Do we know what the status on this issue is or what the root cause entails?

Looks like you can use CloudCode, see here: https://community.parseplatform.org/t/parse-live-query-include/3175/3?u=cbaker6
