Enrichment

Enrichment of Collection Entries

Objects stored inside collections can be embedded inside activities or user objects. This allows you to integrate with Stream without building a complex integration with another database. Stream's collections can be used as your data source for data enrichment.

// first we add our object to the food collection
let cheeseBurger = await client.collections.add("food", "123", {
  name: "Cheese Burger",
  ingredients: ["cheese", "burger", "bread", "lettuce", "tomato"],
});

// the object returned by .add can be embedded directly inside of an activity
await userFeed.addActivity({
  actor: client.currentUser,
  verb: "grill",
  object: cheeseBurger,
});

// if we now read the feed, the activity we just added will include the entire full object
await userFeed.get();

// we can then update the object and Stream will propagate the change to all activities
await cheeseBurger.update({
  name: "Amazing Cheese Burger",
  ingredients: ["cheese", "burger", "bread", "lettuce", "tomato"],
});
