BaseModel.appendChild() method

Attaches related data to this instance as though it had been joined in.

Signature:

appendChild(name: string, data: any): this;

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
name	string	Property to set, normally an association name.
data	any	What to attach: an instance, an array of them, or anything else.

Returns:

this

This instance, for chaining.

Remarks

Sets the property, and when a returning list is in force adds the name to it so the property survives serialization. That is the point of it: data fetched by a second query would otherwise be dropped by toJSON().
