[SOLVED] Realm JS Create objects with primitive data type list

Realm JS Create objects with primitive data type list

I am unable to create a list of only string objects

This is how my model looks like

class ProductSummary extends Realm.Object {}
ProductSummary.schema = {
name: 'ProductSummary',
properties: {
productId:'string',
name:'string',
description:'string',
rating:'int',
comments:'int',
categories:{type:'list',objectType:'string'},
images:{type:'list',objectType:'string'},
price:{type:'Price'}
 }
};

This is how the response I get from the api

"productSummary": { "links": [], "productId": "PRD_1ola611nd0t", "name": "Sample", "description": "<p>Sample<br></p>", "categories": [ "CAT_1rua60fnd0u" ], "rating": 0, "comments": 0, "tags": [], "image": "http://test.testsite.com/testProject/app-images/189_66164247/189_42527954.jpeg", "price": { "lowest": 100, "highest": 100 } }

I get the following error

Target Type 'string' doesn't Exists for property 'categories'

Am I creating the Category field in the wrong way.

Solution

This is a limitation with realm js for react native, a work around is to wrap the list of strings as list of objects (as key value pairs) before doing the db transaction, more info and the status of the issue is tracked in this github issue
