resolveNestedObjects Middleware

The resolveNestedObjects middleware is designed to handle resolving and creating nested objects in Strapi. This middleware is particularly useful when dealing with complex data structures and relationships in your API endpoints.

Assumptions / Prerequisites

CRUD operations in Strapi require strings formated like that: api::article.article notice that article is singular. This middleware is based on object keys of the parent object, so it requires them to reflect type names of the nested objects.

For example if you have a parent object cart and nested field content which is related to object product this middleware will not work unless you rename content to product.

Installation

To use the resolveNestedObjects middleware, follow these steps:

1. Copy the content of the provided middleware code.

2. Create a new file named resolveNestedObjects.js in your Strapi project's src/middlewares directory.

3. Paste the copied code into the resolveNestedObjects.js file.

4. In your Strapi project, navigate to the config/middleware.ts file.

5. Register the middleware by adding global::resolveNestedObjects to the end of the list:

   module.exports =  [
     // Other middleware configurations...
     "global::resolveNestedObjects"
   ];
