Embedded Resources
View SourceAshTypescript provides full support for embedded resources with complete type safety. Embedded resources are treated similarly to relationships, allowing you to select nested fields with the same field selection syntax.
Basic Usage
Define an embedded resource attribute in your Ash resource:
# In your resource
attribute :metadata, MyApp.TodoMetadata do
public? true
endUse field selection to request embedded resource fields:
// TypeScript usage
const todo = await getTodo({
fields: [
"id", "title",
{ metadata: ["category", "priorityScore", "tags", "customFields"] }
],
input: { id: "todo-123" }
});Type Safety
Embedded resources receive full type inference:
// Generated types include embedded resource fields
type Todo = {
id: string;
title: string;
metadata?: {
category: string;
priorityScore: number;
tags: string[];
customFields: Record<string, any>;
} | null;
