it looks like with datafy and nav and datomic, it's not always possible to hop from eid to eid along the graph indefinitely
2021-05-03T17:53:31.025100Z
is there a way i can configure portal to do so?
2021-05-03T17:54:35.026Z
in other words, if i pipe the results of a datomic query into portal, i get one level of free querying by eid. if that (implicit) query returns eids, i don't think portal queries them as well
djblue 2021-05-03T19:08:00.026700Z
Does the queried data also have nav metadata?
2021-05-03T19:25:52.027100Z
that's a great question. i assume so, since rebl does it, but i don't actually know
djblue 2021-05-03T19:33:52.027200Z
You should be able to see metadata attached to most data in portal
2021-05-05T17:53:53.029700Z
well, it looks like the metadata is attached, and i can bounce from entity to entity indefinitely. originally i was trying to skip over intermediate entities and at that point it seems like the metadata is lost
2021-05-05T17:53:57.029900Z
this is terrific
2021-05-05T17:56:49.030100Z
or, maybe it's more accurate to say i was navigating to values - the entity ids - that were not datomic entities and did not have metadata
djblue 2021-05-05T18:00:55.030300Z
Yeah, I think a big assumption nav implementations make is the you are only ever navigating one level deep, so the metadata is attached only to the root value.

again, this ui is /terrific/
