How can i insert nested data into the database? about userbase

[j-berman]

You could do something like this:

1. Your coaches could create databases called "Progress Reports - <Client Name>" via openDatabase.

2. They could then insert progress reports using insertItem + uploadFile.

3. Coaches could then share the database with their clients via shareDatabase.

4. Clients would then be able to see progress reports shared with them via getDatabases.

5. Clients could then call openDatabase with the progress report’s database ID.

That make sense?

Maybe your coaches would have an additional database called "Clients" where they store client names + contact info as well.

Edit: So each item in the "Clients" database would be a client. And each item in the "Progress Reports - <Client Name>" database would be a progress report. And the relationship between the items in the "Clients" database and the items in the "Progress Reports - <Client Name>" databases would be one-to-many.

You got it!

Userbase uses a combination of AWS DynamoDB and S3, but I don't think that helps you very much because the API completely abstracts that away from you. You only need to understand these functions really.

This section of the architecture spec might be a bit more helpful explaining what happens under the hood when you call these functions.

Thanks for your help and explanations. Yes it makes sense, but i have to play with it - and come back asking more questions - to fully understand how this works 😬

Can you give me a hint on what kind of DB Userbase is running, so i can read some documentation?
