Consider user cart document with relationship with one-to-many products. Obviously Each product should also contain counts based on user choices. My question is how can we integrate count into specific products. Note:- Product should not be updated. Only Cart Document should be updated.
One solution that came to my mind is storing count as array of string {id: productId: count:2}. i.e.
Is there any other better way? With/without relationship?
Summary
The user is having doubts about the best way to structure their database for a cart system. They want to keep all the products in one document but also have counts based on user choices. One solution suggested is to have an array of strings for count, but the user wants to know if there's a better way.
Solution: One option is to have a cart collection where each item in the cart is a document with a reference to the user and a relationship with a single product, along with a quantity attribute. This way, the cart document can be updated without changing the product document.
