Accounts and Actions.In
Accounts I have a User resource where I handle authentication, etc.In
Auctions I have a Bidder resource which I use to identify a bidder in a auction.Both of these resources uses the same table
"users".My socket will always contain the
User structure, not the Bidder one.So, if I want to create a
Bid (also a resource inside Auctions), I always need to get the actor (User) id, fetch the bidder from the database, then add the bid.Now, the
Bidder only has a subset of the fields that the User has, so technically all the fields needed to fill the Bidder struct is already in the User struct. So I was wondering, is there a standard way to convert the User resource into a Bidder one? I'm mainly asking this because in my
Bid create action, I use change relate_actor(:bidder) to fill the relationship (bidder_id which is a fkey to the users table id field), so if I send the User as the actor, Ash will complain and fail the creation.
