Saving a doc with inner objects behavior

[ramonsan]

Suppose we have a javascript object with a inner object that we want to save as a doc in pouchdb . In my case it has more lines and a couple of relationships, but for simplicity :

{
  id : "doc1",
  name : "Document 1",
  props : {
    id : 1,
    prop1 :  "hello",
    prop2 : "world"
  }
}

In normal pouch, we can put this to save a doc like:

But, if when we try to save with db.rel.save, it only stores the id of object, skipping all other content:

If before call db.rel.save, I do doc.props = [doc.props]; it will be stored as an array with the entire object. It has a big side effect doing this when we retrive in client, console.log($scope.doc) prints all doc correclty (including prop as an array with one object), but doing console.log($scope.doc.props) throws undefined.

So, what's happening when saving an object inside doc? It is the normal behavior?

I found the guilty of this behavior. If the inner object has an id prop, trigger that. So this work:

{
  id : "doc1",
  name : "Document 1",
  props : {
    prop1 :  "hello",
    prop2 : "world"
  }
}

So, when I add a object to a doc, I save that prop in a standalone prop and then delete it from object. The result is:

This sounds like a bug in relational-pouch. So you're saying if there's an id prop anywhere, then it will remove the object? Definitely a bug; that should only happen if you define a schema.
