[deepamehta-users] Address Model in DM Webclient

[Jörg Richter]

Hi JuergeN,

oh, that's cool you have implemented an address equality check already!
Yes, for your import-via-REST use case you can change that association (between the Address Entry and Address types) to Aggregation Definition. It will work. Just put the ref_id: or ref_uri: prefix in your POST request to refer to an existing Address topic. The Address topics will be shared between several Persons then.

Also editing a Person in the detail panel will work. Just be aware of semantic side-effects: editing one person's address will change the address for all involved persons as well. (Possibly you have to reload to clear the browser cache in order to see the effect.) In case you want deliberately avoid that side effect you can delete the Aggregation (between the Address Entry and the Address) before editing a particular Person. In the detail panel you can then enter a new independent Address for that Person.

Cheers,
Jörg
