}
var JSONAPIMongoParser = require(json-api-mongo-parser);

var jsonApiMongoParser = new JSONAPIMongoParser({
  article: {
    relationships: { // Declaring relationships with its type
      author: 'people', // can be a string
      comments: { // Or an object with extra options for population query
        type : 'comment',
        options: {
          lean: true
        }
      },
