Use MongoId for relations

[philipbrown]

Hi @jenssegers

I'm looking to add the functionality to use MongoId instances for relations.

• Relational Ids stored as Strings #356
• relations failed when the foreign key of type ObjectId #350
• Is there any concern that object id references are made by string and not ObjectId? #134

This will be a work in progress PR. If you have any ideas on how this should be implemented, please let me know 😄

Coverage decreased (-23.37%) to 73.15% when pulling ee54b92 on philipbrown:relation-ids-as-object-ids into 265ef41 on jenssegers:master.

Ah screw it, ignore this 😛

Any news on this?

[jenssegers]

Not yet, I might give it another try for the v3 release once I get the embedded models working again.

Thanks!

Update on this? It's a blocker for me moving over fro MogoLid. :D

[jenssegers]

No update on this yet. The way Eloquent is written requires a lot of the relation code to be rewritten. Still need to find a proper approach to the problem.

Ok thanks for the reply, I'll check back another time :D Good work!

Is there any update on this ? if it's not implemented, i would really like to know the issues that you faced, so that may be I can give it a try, as I had my whole query engine written around eloquent, now I am moving to mongo and want to use the same, I don't want to move to doctrine as of now because of the learning curve.
Please let me know.
