To configure and customize your service plugin, you need to provide important details in the plugin.json configuration file.
If you created your service plugin extension with the CLI, required fields are automatically populated for you.
The namespace of the external database. This can be used to access collections within the database, for example namespace/collectionId.
The URI where the service provider is deployed.
Retrieves the items referenced in the specified field of a referring item. Reference fields refer to items that exist in different collections. Implement this function so callers can retrieve the full details of the referenced items.
This service plugin supports item multi-references, which means that data collections can have many-to-many relationships with other collections. For example, consider a scenario where a Movies collection includes a multi-reference Actors field, which might refer to several Actor items in an Actors collection. Users can therefore query the Movies collection to retrieve the Actor items referenced in each Movie item.
Notes:
queryDataItems() function for the Awards collection.isReferenced() function of the Data API.
